New Delhi: Samsung has been reported to be preparing to extend its portfolio this year with its latest products. During its Q4 CY2025 earnings call this week, it has hinted at the latest products coming to stores in 2026, by including AR glasses and a fresh lineup of foldable devices. Samsung first hinted at its XR glasses in October 2025, around the same time it unveiled the Galaxy XR headset. The maiden Samsung glasses are expected to be comparable to Ray-Ban Meta, without a built-in display, but with speakers, microphones, and a camera.
There are several chances that Samsung might release display-enabled AR glasses. This approach follows Meta’s footsteps as it released AI glasses first and then followed up on them with AR glasses called Meta Ray-Ban Display. Samsung is also working on a wide-foldable smartphone, akin to the anticipated Apple iPhone Fold. The Samsung wide-fold is expected to utilise a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is more in line with an iPad. Since the Google and Samsung glasses are expected to be powered by the Android XR platform, there are also high chances that users may see some similarity between the two on top of the Gemini-powered experiences.
Apple is also expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone this year. The iPhone Fold might adapts an wider design with a 4:3 aspect ratio when unfolded, resembling an iPad mini rather than the existing book-style foldable. When it opens, the device is likely to feature a 7.76-inch inner display, smaller than the iPad mini’s 8.3-inch panel. Camera hardware is expected to include a dual rear setup led by a 48MP primary sensor, along with two 24MP front-facing cameras, one on each display. Powering the device could be an A20-series chip built on TSMC’s 2nm process, which is likely to bring gains in performance, efficiency, and on-device AI.
