Samsung and Google have opened pre-orders for their first jointly developed AI smart glasses, Intelligent Eyewear, through design partners Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. This marks Samsung's first foray into the smart glasses space and extends the Android XR ecosystem toward an everyday wearable form factor, following the Galaxy XR headset. The product features no display and adopts a voice- and camera-centric AI glasses form factor, weighing approximately 41 grams—comparable to regular glasses. Users can wake Gemini via voice commands or by touching the frame to perform real-time translation, route navigation, information viewing, voice memo organization, and photo capture. The device runs the Android XR operating system with AI capabilities powered by Gemini, making it the first consumer-grade mass-market hardware under the Samsung-Google-Qualcomm tripartite XR collaboration framework: Samsung handles hardware manufacturing and design, Qualcomm provides the Snapdragon AR1 computing platform, and Google provides the operating system and generative AI services. On the hardware side, it is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 processor, 2GB RAM and 64GB storage, and a 12-megapixel camera supporting 3K resolution and 30fps video recording, with footage used to provide visual context for Gemini; the audio section includes two open speakers and four microphones, with an IPX4 rating to withstand daily splashes or light rain. The initial markets are South Korea and the United States, with shipments expected to begin in mid-December; the European market may not see official channels until 2027. Pricing has not been officially confirmed by Samsung, with multiple leaks pointing to a range of $349 to $499—higher than regular glasses.
