Samsung Electronics has announced a lineup of smart glasses developed in collaboration with Google. The products will officially go on sale on December 10, 2026, with pre-orders starting on November 12. The lineup is powered by Google Gemini and includes 30 designs created with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. It supports hands-free AI interaction, can answer questions about the surrounding environment, translate text, and provide turn-by-turn navigation via Google Maps.
In terms of hardware, the glasses weigh about 41 grams and are equipped with a 12-megapixel HDR camera, open-ear speakers, and four microphones. Samsung says a single charge provides up to 9 hours of battery life, and with a fully charged charging case, total battery life can reach up to 72 hours. The product can be used with Galaxy phones, relying on the connected device to handle some computing tasks.
On privacy and security, an indicator light comes on when the camera is active, along with additional visual and audio alerts. If the indicator light is blocked or not working properly, the system will disable camera capture. Users can manage app permissions and Gemini activity, and imagery captured by the glasses will not be used for AI model training or targeted advertising. When users ask Gemini about something in front of them, the system will also blur bystanders' faces before responding. Age verification is required to activate the device and download apps, and the product is intended for users aged 18 and older.
In the U.S. market, Warby Parker Intelligent Eyewear starts at $395, while Gentle Monster Intelligent Eyewear is priced at $449 to $489, depending on the model. The Warby Parker collection is sold through its online and physical retail channels, while the Gentle Monster collection is sold through its official online store. Samsung also plans to offer in-store demos at select retail locations starting December 10.
This partnership combines Gemini's capabilities with the traditional form factor of glasses, reflecting how tech companies are accelerating the expansion of AI glasses into the everyday consumer market through fashion brand collaborations, mobile device integration, and multimodal interaction.
