Samsung Smart Glasses Unveiled, and They’re Superlight
They might be called Galaxy Glasses, and they’re coming in November.
Samsung has revealed its upcoming smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in November. Weighing a mere 41 grams, the new glasses are remarkably lightweight compared to competitors. Samsung’s glasses will be available through Warby Parker and Gentle Monster websites, as well as Samsung Experience Stores across the United States.
The glasses come in a variety of styles and colors from both South Korean and US eyewear brands, including Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. The Samsung smart glasses will boast a Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chip, 2GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 12MP camera, 3K video capability, open-ear speakers, and microphones. The battery life will extend up to 9 hours, or 72 hours with the charging case.
Users will need a compatible Galaxy phone to access certain features, while watch features require a Galaxy Watch running Wear OS 7 or newer. Powered by Google Gemini AI and running on Android XR, these glasses offer a range of functionalities, such as capturing photos and videos, making calls and sending texts, translating languages, providing navigation, and playing music and podcasts.
With the global smart glasses market projected to grow by over 24% annually until 2033, Samsung aims to capitalize on the increasing demand for hands-free photo and video capture, open-ear audio, and AI assistance within everyday frames.
