Tokyo, 17 April 2026 – Glance, a global consumer technology company pioneering AI-led agentic commerce, today announced the expansion of its presence in Japan with the launch of its AI-powered shopping experiences on Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S26 series devices on the SoftBank network. Available across the Samsung Galaxy S26, Samsung Galaxy S26+, and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra this rollout marks a significant milestone in Glance’s partnership with SoftBank Corp. (SBKK), extending its AI commerce capabilities to Samsung devices within SoftBank’s ecosystem. 

The launch represents a significant step in the deepening partnership between Glance and SoftBank, which began in 2023 and continues to expand as both companies work to bring more intelligent, AI-powered mobile experiences to Japanese consumers. By combining SoftBank’s advanced network capabilities with the premium hardware of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, the partnership introduces a new array of AI-led experiences where discovery, creativity and commerce converge on the phone.  

Central to this experience is Glance’s AI-led shopping platform that blends generative AI with immersive visual intelligence to fundamentally redefine how users shop on their smartphones. Consumers can simply upload a selfie or select a photo from their gallery to see themselves styled in AI-generated fashion looks curated to their taste and personality, and shop these products instantly. The experience brings together discovery and decision-making in a highly visual, intuitive format designed for today’s mobile-first consumer. 

“Japan has long embraced thoughtful technology and premium digital experiences,” said Mansi Jain, Chief Operating Officer, Glance. “For over a decade, InMobi has been committed to building in Japan -- investing in local teams, strong partnerships, and products deeply tailored for the market. Our collaboration with SoftBank Corp. and Samsung is a natural extension of that journey, bringing a new generation of AI-powered experiences to the Samsung Galaxy S26 series and creating a smartphone experience that feels intuitive, visually inspiring, and deeply personalized for users in Japan.” 

Glance’s AI shopping platform is powered by a unique three-layer technology stack that reimagines the shopping journey. Its Commerce Intelligence Model decodes global retail trends and consumer behavior, while the GenAI Experience Model creates hyper-realistic fashion visualizations tailored to each user. The Transaction Journey Model then anticipates intent and seamlessly connects every AI-generated look to the most relevant products across millions of global catalogues. 

Additionally, on the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, users can also personalize their entire lock screen with essential widgets such as Chrome, Notes and Calculator, among others while seamlessly engaging with Glance’s rich visual experiences and AI shopping. This introduces a new layer of intelligence and personalization to the device experience, transforming the smartphone into a living, AI-powered experience that adapts to each user in real time. 

Glance is already used by a large number of active users in Japan, reflecting strong adoption of its personalized lock screen and AI shopping experiences. As Glance continues to expand across new devices and partners, it is accelerating the next wave of AI-powered consumer experiences in one of the world’s most advanced digital ecosystems.
