Much more is yet to be revealed regarding the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 One UI Watch 4.5. Whatever information we have received so far shows that the upcoming Galaxy Watch will be another hit for the company, if we talk about the features.
Where this watch can disappoint you is its design. First of all, by dropping the ‘Classic’ model, the company is also ditching the beloved rotating bezel for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. On the other hand, some tipsters say it is the ugliest smartwatch in history due to its very wide bezel and no scales.
Well, there’s no official confirmation on its design and only the company can uncover the reality. It should be mentioned that Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series is said to enter the markets on August 10.

Samsung’s new XR glasses are expected to launch in the second half of 2025. These glasses are being made in partnership with Google. A new report reveals that the glasses will share some features with the popular Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses but will not have a display.
According to the information, the upcoming XR glasses of Samsung will be powered by Qualcomm’s AR1 chipset, the same used in Ray-Ban Meta glasses. While details on the specific AR1 version remain unclear, the use of Qualcomm’s chip suggests a focus on lightweight, efficient computing.
Like the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, Samsung’s XR glasses will reportedly sport a 12MP camera and a 155 mAh battery, giving them a similar form factor. It also claims to weigh around 50 grams slightly heavier than the Ray-Ban model.

There has been much speculation about whether these glasses would feature a display, and the fresh report suggests they will not. It would be hard to add a display while keeping the glasses lightweight, so Samsung is likely skipping this feature.
Even without a display, the Samsung XR glasses will still include some smart features. These include AI functions for making payments, scanning QR codes, recognizing gestures, and even identifying people.
Although the full details aren’t clear, it seems the glasses will offer more capabilities than the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. The Samsung XR glasses are expected to be released in late 2025, but Samsung might tease them off earlier.
