Samsung Galaxy Glasses Full Specs Leaked: 12MP Sony Camera, Qualcomm AR1, 50g, and $379–$499 Price Range Ahead of July 22 Unpacked

Three weeks before Samsung Unpacked on July 22 in London, a near-complete spec sheet for the Samsung Galaxy Glasses has leaked — and it paints a picture of a direct Meta Ray-Ban competitor running Google's AI stack.

Leaked Specifications

• Camera: 12MP Sony IMX681 with autofocus — higher resolution than Meta Ray-Ban's 12MP ultrawide
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 — purpose-built for smart glasses with low power draw
• Audio: Stereo speakers and multiple microphones for calls and voice commands
• Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi — no cellular, all processing offloads to paired phone
• Lenses: Photochromic lenses that darken automatically in sunlight
• Battery: 245mAh — estimated 6–8 hours of mixed use
• Weight: Approximately 50 grams
• Display: None — audio-only interface, no AR overlay
• Design partner: Gentle Monster — Korean luxury eyewear brand
• Software: Android XR with Google Gemini as the built-in AI assistant
• Price: Expected $379–$499

How It Compares to Meta Ray-Ban

The Galaxy Glasses mirror Meta's formula closely: camera, speakers, AI assistant, no display, fashion-brand partnership. The key differentiator is Google Gemini vs Meta AI — and for Android users already in Google's ecosystem, Gemini integration could be the deciding factor. The photochromic lenses and Gentle Monster design are also distinct advantages.

Should You Wait?

July 22 is just three weeks away. If you're an Android user interested in smart glasses, waiting for Galaxy Glasses pricing confirmation and initial reviews makes sense.
