Samsung’s upcoming smart glasses, reportedly called Galaxy Glasses, are starting to take shape ahead of their expected 2026 debut. A new report now sheds light on battery capacity and it suggests Samsung could be targeting a similar experience to Meta’s existing smart glasses.
According to a report by SamMobile, the Galaxy Glasses may pack a 245mAh battery. That’s nearly identical to the 248mAh battery found in Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses with a display. Meta claims its glasses can deliver up to six hours of usage, which gives a rough benchmark for what Samsung might aim for.
Battery Size Hints at Display Support
While Samsung hasn’t revealed official specifications yet, the reported battery capacity offers an important clue. Smart glasses without a display, like earlier Ray-Ban models, typically use smaller batteries, often around 150mAh.
The larger 245mAh battery suggests that Samsung’s Galaxy Glasses could include a built-in display, aligning them more closely with newer smart glasses that support visual features alongside audio and AI capabilities. However, real-world battery life will depend on how Samsung optimizes its hardware and software.
Part of Samsung’s Bigger XR Push
Samsung has already confirmed that it is working on next-generation smart glasses, with a launch expected sometime in 2026. The announcement came during an earnings call, where Seong Cho, EVP of Samsung’s Mobile Experience division, highlighted the company’s focus on delivering “rich, immersive multimodal AI experiences.”
These upcoming glasses are expected to run on Android XR, a platform Samsung is developing in partnership with Google. The device is also likely to integrate tightly with the broader Galaxy ecosystem, including smartphones, smartwatches, and other connected devices.
Multiple Variants in Development
Reports indicate that Samsung is working on at least two versions of the Galaxy Glasses, with model numbers SM-O200P and SM-O200J. These are likely regional or minor hardware variants rather than entirely different products.
Earlier leaks suggested that the first-generation glasses might skip advanced AR or heads-up displays. Instead, Samsung could focus on core features like a camera, microphones, speakers, and AI-driven tools. However, the newly reported battery capacity raises questions about whether display features could still be part of the package.
Other Samsung Devices Also Surface
The same report also mentions battery details for upcoming Samsung devices. The larger 44mm Galaxy Watch 9 is expected to carry a 435mAh battery, which is unchanged from the previous generation. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab S12+ could feature a battery of around 10,500mAh, offering a slight increase over its predecessor.
