Android XR display glasses (Google / Samsung)

Android XR display glasses (Google / Samsung) is a pair of smart glasses with an in-lens display from Google with Samsung and partners. Android XR display glasses (Google / Samsung) has been announced (8 December 2025) but is not on sale yet.

Android XR display glasses are an announced category, not a product you can order. Google said in December 2025 that both AI glasses and display AI glasses would arrive in 2026. At I/O 2026 it changed the order: audio glasses with no display launch first this fall, and display glasses follow later, with no date given. Android Authority reported that Google strongly implied none reach retail before 2027. Google's description so far is an in-lens display that will 'show you the information you need'. The rest is leaks: an April 2026 report describes a Samsung model codenamed 'Haean' with a micro-LED in-lens display for 2027 at USD 600-900, which no company has confirmed. The newest report, from The Elec via 9to5Google on 2026-09-10, says Samsung has asked for color microdisplays for a later pair, which points to late 2027 at the earliest.

Neither Google nor Samsung has confirmed either report.
