NEW YORK – Nov. 12, 2026 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the upcoming launch of the full lineup of intelligent eyewear, delivering a smarter way to see the world through intuitive, hands-free AI assistance. Set for release in the U.S. and South Korea on Dec. 10 with pre-orders beginning today, the collection combines Samsung’s mobile engineering expertise with 30 distinctive designs1 from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker for comfortable, stylish everyday wear. Developed in collaboration with Google and with Gemini built in, the intelligent eyewear helps users understand the world around them, communicate across languages and stay connected while remaining present in the moment. Responsibly designed with everyone’s comfort in mind, the intelligent eyewear has controls that put the user in charge and has privacy protections for both the wearer and those people around them.
Designed for Style and Everyday Comfort
Gentle Monster and Warby Parker bring their design identities to a combined lineup of 30 designs, offering customers a wide range of frame shapes, colors, sizes and lens treatments to match their personal style. Gentle Monster brings bold, disruptive aesthetics, while Warby Parker offers timeless designs with a refined appeal.

Samsung’s engineering expertise brings together the advanced hardware required for intelligent eyewear in slim, lightweight frames without sacrificing durability or comfort. Weighing around 41 grams,2 the eyewear was carefully designed to balance weight, structural strength and comfort, making it suitable for extended use throughout the day.
More Intuitive Ways to Interact With the World
With Gemini built in, the intelligent eyewear provides intuitive, hands-free experiences. It is designed to help users stay connected and present while offering a range of capabilities:
- Explore and understand surroundings: Users can ask questions about what they see3 — such as identifying an unfamiliar landmark or learning about an object — continuing the conversation naturally with follow-up questions.
- Enhance daily productivity: The intelligent eyewear helps users turn information into action. For example, a user can capture a whiteboard during a meeting, ask Gemini to summarize the key takeaways and save them directly into Samsung Notes.
- Translate and navigate on the go:4 Users can translate a restaurant menu or find their way around unfamiliar places with turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps.
- Stay connected, hands-free: The intelligent eyewear allows users to effortlessly stay connected. It can automatically prioritize, group and summarize notifications based on context, read important updates aloud and enable natural voice responses. Whether making calls or responding to messages while their hands are occupied, users can stay connected on the go.
Where Innovation Meets Craftsmanship
Behind these intelligent experiences is purpose-built hardware to support natural, hands-free interactions. A 12 MP HDR camera provides visual context for Gemini while supporting high-resolution photos and clear video recording. Open-ear speakers and a four-microphone array enable clear voice interactions, calls and audio playback while maintaining awareness of the user’s surroundings.
Powered by the Snapdragon® AR1 Gen 1 Platform,5 the intelligent eyewear delivers smooth performance with up to nine hours of battery life on a single charge, and up to 72 hours with a fully charged charging case.6 Designed to work in tandem with Galaxy phones, the intelligent eyewear utilizes a split-computing system to offload a portion of the processing load to the connected device. This approach, combined with Samsung's careful optimization of component placement, battery design and thermal management, helps balance performance, durability and everyday comfort in a lightweight form factor.
Responsibly Designed for Everyone’s Comfort
The intelligent eyewear was responsibly designed with the comfort and privacy of everyone in mind, recognizing the need to consider both the people wearing it and those around them. This commitment has shaped key decisions from the outset, with transparency and user control built into the experience.
Responsible design is built into the practical experience:
- Clear recording indicators: When capturing images or recording video for your gallery, an LED indicates that the camera is active, while the wearer simultaneously receives a visual notification via an inner light and a sound. Built-in safeguards are designed to disable camera capture if the external LED is covered or not functioning properly.
- Considerate audio design: Open-ear speakers are designed to minimize sound leakage while helping wearers remain aware of their surroundings. In conversations with Gemini Live, surrounding sounds, including other people's voices, are filtered to help protect bystander privacy.
- User control and data privacy: Users retain control over both app-specific permissions and their Gemini activity. Visuals collected by Gemini are not used for AI model training or ad targeting. When users ask Gemini about what they’re looking at, the intelligent eyewear is designed to automatically redact bystanders' faces before responding.
- Responsible use: The intelligent eyewear is designed for users aged 18 and over, with age verification required for device activation and app downloads.
