Google has shared new design guidelines that give us an early idea of how future Android XR smart glasses could work. These glasses include the upcoming Galaxy Glasses that Samsung is reportedly developing with fashion brands.

There will be two main types of glasses. The first type, called AI Glasses, will have a camera, microphones, and speakers. The second type, called Display AI Glasses, will include all of that plus a small augmented reality display in front of your eyes.

Both versions of the glasses are expected to have a camera button, a power button, and a touchpad. Models with a display will also include a second touchpad on the side to control on-screen items.

According to the information, the camera button will be easy to use. Press it twice to open the camera. Press it once to take a photo. Press and hold to start recording a video, and press again to stop. There will also be two small LED lights. One lets you know the camera is working, and the other lets people around you know when you are recording.

 

The main touchpad will handle simple controls. Tap once to play or pause music or confirm something. Press and hold to open the Gemini assistant. Swipe to change the volume. On display models, the second touchpad lets you scroll, move between items, and go back by swiping down.

The screen layout will be simple. A system bar at the bottom will show alerts, time, weather, and notifications. Messages will appear as small bubbles that expand when tapped, letting you quickly reply or take action.

As the AI hardware space heats up, the iPhone maker has multiple smart products in development.

Samsung is quietly removing the Galaxy Buds 3 from its USA online store just before Galaxy Unpacked 2026. Unlike a usual sold-out product, the Buds 3 page now redirects to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, suggesting Samsung may not bring the standard model back. This move seems timed to make room for the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 lineup.

The regular Galaxy Buds 3 are known for their tipless, open design. Without silicone eartips, they didn’t seal the ear canal, which made fit and sound quality inconsistent. Noise isolation was limited, and the bass could feel weak for some users.

When Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds 3 FE, sales of the Galaxy Buds 3 declined. The FE model was cheaper, and even though it skipped some features like wireless charging and higher water resistance, many users felt it sounded better than the standard Buds 3.

Currently, the Buds 3 Pro and Buds 3 FE remain available in the USA, while the standard Buds 3 appear to be a short-lived experiment. Removing the product now clears space for the new generation.

For Samsung earbud fans, this likely marks the end of the regular Buds 3 as attention shifts to the Galaxy Buds 4, expected to launch at Unpacked 2026. The move shows Samsung is enhancing its earbuds lineup, keeping models that deliver the best performance and quietly retiring ones that didn’t connect as well with users.
