Samsung Galaxy Glasses Will Cost $379–$499: Gentle Monster and Warby Parker Designs Confirmed for Fall 2026

Pricing for Samsung's first smart glasses has narrowed considerably based on new supply-chain leaks, pointing to a $379–$499 range that would put the Galaxy Glasses in direct competition with the Meta Ray-Ban at $379. Two designer partnerships have also been confirmed.

Designer Partnerships

• Gentle Monster: Known for bold, disruptive eyewear designs — targeting fashion-forward buyers
• Warby Parker: Known for refined, classic frames — targeting buyers who want smart glasses that look like ordinary eyewear

Confirmed Specifications

• Chip: Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1
• Camera: 12MP Sony IMX681 sensor
• Weight: Approximately 50 grams
• Battery: 155mAh
• Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi
• No heads-up display — this is a camera-and-audio AI glasses product, not an AR overlay device

Software: Android XR with Gemini AI

The Galaxy Glasses run Android XR paired with Gemini AI, enabling live translation, turn-by-turn navigation through Google Maps, notification summaries, and visual text translation through the camera. Samsung is also building in Galaxy Ring integration, letting wearers use subtle hand gestures via a Galaxy Ring on the same hand to control the glasses without touching them.

Timeline and Future Models

The Galaxy Glasses are expected to be revealed at Unpacked on July 22, with on-sale availability slipping to Fall 2026 — possibly timed to IFA in September. A premium successor codenamed Haean, featuring a micro-LED display, is rumored for 2027 at a higher $600–$900 price point.
