Samsung’s upcoming smart glasses will have a camera and be connected to a smartphone, a top executive told CNBC, as the tech giant prepares to make its first foray into the product category. Jay Kim, executive vice president at Samsung’s mobile business, teased some details about the smart glasses for the first time, on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona.
