Samsung revealed new details about its upcoming Galaxy Glasses at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The smart glasses will feature a camera mounted at eye level and connect to users' phones. Samsung executive vice president Jay Kim told CNBC that the company is exploring various AI devices, with glasses being a key focus area.

Kim emphasized that AI understanding what users are looking at is crucial for the glasses' functionality. The AI will process visual information and feed it to mobile phones for further analysis. While Samsung declined to confirm whether the Galaxy Glasses will have a display, Kim's mention of other devices like smartwatches and phones for display needs strongly suggests the glasses themselves will be display-free.

The executive indicated the Galaxy Glasses could launch this year, positioning Samsung to compete directly with Meta Ray-Ban glasses. Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon expressed optimism about smart glasses, highlighting their proximity to our senses for enhanced agentic experiences and workloads.
