Android XR glasses are finally getting a pre-order date
We finally have a date
Samsung's first Android XR smart glasses are set to launch on November 12, 2026, with pre-orders officially opening that day. The collaboration between Samsung, Google, Warby Parker, and Gentle Monster has been in development for some time, with Samsung revealing the glasses would be available later this year at the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series launch.
The Android XR glasses will run on Google's Android XR platform, using Qualcomm hardware, and will not feature a built-in display like the Galaxy XR headset. Instead, they will resemble Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, with two variants expected - one with a built-in camera and another without. Both versions are rumored to have built-in speakers and microphones for audio output and voice commands, as well as an LED indicator for the camera-equipped model to indicate recording.
While an official price has not been announced, Samsung has suggested the glasses will fall into a premium price range. Initial availability is expected to be limited to the US and South Korea during the first rollout phase.
