Samsung joins the competition in AI glasses with the launch of its Gemini-powered Intelligent Eyewear.

      Samsung offers two distinct styles for its glasses: Gentle Monster and Warby Parker.

      Samsung is taking Galaxy AI from your phone to your eyewear. During Galaxy Unpacked, the company introduced two new Intelligent Eyewear models powered by Gemini and developed in partnership with Google, along with eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. These glasses aim to integrate seamlessly with your daily style while providing hands-free access to AI for navigation, translations, messaging, note-taking, and other features.

      What differentiates Samsung’s new AI glasses?

      Samsung showcased two unique styles for its Intelligent Eyewear. The Gentle Monster set features a sleek black frame with a modern, chic design, while the Warby Parker version boasts a warm brown finish and a subtly elevated brow line for a more timeless appearance.

      Internally, the glasses operate on Android XR and utilize Qualcomm’s Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chip, specifically tailored for lightweight eyewear. Users can expect up to 9 hours of battery life per charge, with the case offering an additional 7 full charges. Reports suggest that Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm collaborated on a project named Power Camp to enhance battery efficiency.

      What can Gemini accomplish with these new Samsung glasses?

      Google's Gemini manages the AI functionality, responding to input from the built-in camera. It can summarize lengthy messages, read information aloud, and translate conversations in real-time.

      Most interactions are controlled via voice commands, although gesture control is also an option for those wearing a Galaxy Watch 9. Users can capture whiteboard content or meeting notes, which will be automatically organized in Samsung Notes. The glasses also provide navigation assistance and feature live point-of-view sharing during video calls.

      What about user privacy?

      Samsung has placed a focus on privacy features. An LED indicator notifies users when the camera is active, and a wear detection feature automatically deactivates the camera if the glasses are removed or if the light is obscured. This is particularly significant given the criticism faced by Meta's Ray-Ban glasses over constant camera usage. Samsung has yet to announce pricing or a definite release date, although a launch in the fall of 2026 seems to be the aim.

Alongside Samsung’s hardware announcements, Google confirmed several Gemini upgrades set to appear across the new Galaxy lineup before their own Pixel devices, and one may be particularly significant for those switching from other platforms.
