A new report has revealed that the Android XR smart glasses Google recently showcased are actually a prototype for a product Samsung is planning to release in 2026. While earlier reports hinted at an earlier launch, it now looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer. Google’s XR Glasses Demoed at TED2025 Google has been working on Android XR glasses for a while now with internal demos reportedly dating back to December 2024. The most detailed public glimpse came just this week at TED2025, where Google VP Shahram Izadi demoed the smart glasses and their features. However, the full demo is still behind a paywall and hasn’t been made widely available yet. That said, Google hasn't officially announced any plans to launch these glasses. Instead, all signs point to Samsung taking the lead on bringing them to market. Samsung and Google Are Collaborating According to The Korea Economic Daily, the smart glasses Google has been showing are the same device Samsung plans to release next year. The report confirms that Google and Samsung are “jointly working” on this XR device. The report explains, “the two tech firms are jointly working to develop new smart glasses, slated for release next year, people familiar with the matter said on Friday. The two companies unveiled images of the smart glasses under development at the XR Unlock event held at Google Campus in New York last December. Shahram Izadi, a Google vice president in charge of AR and XR, recently wore a prototype of the smart glasses and demonstrated some of its features at the TED2025 conference held in Vancouver, Canada.” Samsung has already been working on Project Moohan, its Android XR headset, which has been shown off twice in person so far. It’s expected to launch sometime later this year. Launch Timeline Earlier reports hinted that Samsung might launch its smart glasses by the end of 2025.
