Samsung is preparing to enter the smart glasses market with its new intelligent eyewear, developed in partnership with Google. The company has officially confirmed that the glasses will go on sale in the US and South Korea on December 10, 2026. Pre-orders are now open ahead of the launch.
The Samsung intelligent eyewear collection features Google's Gemini AI assistant and comes in 30 different designs from popular eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. Samsung aims to make everyday activities easier by allowing users to access AI features, capture photos, translate text, and receive navigation instructions without taking out their smartphones.
The company first previewed the project around Google I/O in May 2026 and officially unveiled its Android XR smart glasses in July. Now, it has revealed the availability, pricing, and key features.

The glasses can also group and summarise notifications, read messages aloud, and let users respond through voice commands.
