Samsung has revealed pricing and launch details for its new smart glasses, developed in collaboration with Google, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker. The eyewear, which integrates Google’s Gemini AI, will hit the market on December 10, 2026, in the U.S. and South Korea, with pre-orders beginning today. The collection offers 30 distinct frame styles, blending Warby Parker’s classic designs with Gentle Monster’s bold aesthetics. However, availability in India remains uncertain.
The smart glasses run on the Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 platform and feature a 12 MP HD camera, open-ear speakers, and directional microphones. Users can leverage Gemini AI for tasks like object identification, real-time translation, and navigation via Google Maps. For professional use, the glasses can capture meeting whiteboards, generate summaries, and sync them to Samsung Notes.
Privacy is a key focus, with visible recording lights and audio chimes activating during camera use. The software also automatically blurs bystanders’ faces in visual queries, and the open-ear speakers are designed to minimize sound leakage. The battery life lasts up to nine hours on a single charge, extendable to 72 hours with the included charging case.
Pricing in the U.S. starts at $395 for Warby Parker models, while Gentle Monster frames range from $449 to $489.
