Integrated AI Shopping Experience
This integration combines SoftBank’s advanced network with the high-performance hardware of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series and Glance’s personal shopping AI service. The aim is to create a new smartphone experience where discovery, creation, and purchasing are seamlessly connected. Users can access Glance’s visual experience and AI shopping directly from the lock screen, even while utilizing widgets from Chrome, Notes, Calculator, and other third-party applications. This enhances the device’s usability with new personalization capabilities, offering an evolving smartphone experience tailored to the user.
Milestone in Japan Market Expansion
This initiative represents a significant milestone in Glance’s partnership with SoftBank, which began in 2023, and signifies the official launch of Glance’s full-scale operations in the Japanese market. Glance currently serves a large number of active users in Japan, with its personalized lock screen receiving widespread support. The company plans to accelerate the provision of next-generation AI-powered shopping experiences to Japanese users by expanding compatible devices and partner collaborations.
