Samsung Signals Premium Smart Glasses Pricing Above Meta’s $299 Entry Level

2 articles · Updated · SamMobile - Samsung news · Jul 27

Summary

  • Choi Jae-in said Samsung’s upcoming smart glasses will be priced at a “reasonable level” but launched in the premium tier because of the technology and quality standards involved.
  • No price range was disclosed after last week’s Unpacked event, leaving Samsung’s positioning vague even as the company tries to balance affordability with higher-end hardware.
  • The comments likely refer to glasses Samsung is developing with Qualcomm, Google, Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, rather than the still-unconfirmed Galaxy Glasses expected later in 2026.
  • Samsung also hinted at AR-display-equipped glasses in the pipeline for 2027, suggesting a broader two-track wearable strategy as Meta already charges $299 for its cheapest smart glasses.
