Samsung Pushes Launch of Display-Free AI Smartglasses to 2026

Samsung’s Upcoming Display-Free Smartglasses to Include Speakers, Mic, and Camera

Samsung is reportedly developing a new “display-less” AI smartglasses, similar to Ray-Ban Meta, featuring a camera, microphone, and speakers, but without a screen. Initially expected to launch this year alongside its Project Moohan XR headset, the device may now be delayed until the end of next year, according to South Korean media outlet SEDaily.

The unnamed smartglasses are said to be powered by multimodal artificial intelligence, enabling users to interact with voice commands and capture media without a visual display. Samsung’s move appears inspired by the growing popularity of display-free AR wearables, aiming to offer a lightweight, audio-visual AI experience.

These smartglasses would join Samsung’s growing portfolio of XR and AR devices, including Project Moohan and Project Haean, the latter of which features an augmented reality display showcased at Google I/O 2025. By focusing on display-less AI integration, Samsung aims to provide a more streamlined and everyday-friendly wearable.

With this launch timeline, the device could compete directly with similar products from Meta and other tech companies, bringing AI-powered augmented audio experiences to consumers without the need for a traditional screen.
