Samsung Galaxy Glasses Full Spec Sheet Revealed: 12MP Camera, Android XR, Gemini AI, and $379 Starting Price Before July 22 Unpacked

The complete spec sheet for Samsung's Galaxy Glasses has surfaced just five days before the July 22 Unpacked event in London, confirming the most detailed picture yet of Samsung and Google's first joint smart glasses effort.

Hardware Specs

• Camera: 12MP Sony IMX681 with autofocus — the same sensor class used in mid-range smartphones
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 — purpose-built for lightweight AR wearables
• Audio: Stereo speakers and multiple microphones for calls, voice commands, and spatial audio
• Lenses: Photochromic lenses that darken automatically in sunlight
• Weight: Approximately 50 grams — heavier than Even Realities G2 (35g) but lighter than Meta Ray-Ban (49g with standard lenses)
• Battery: ~155mAh — enough for an estimated 4–5 hours of mixed use
• Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi, no cellular

Software: Gemini Is the Interface

Gemini is not a feature on the Galaxy Glasses — it is the interface. Running on Android XR, all interactions flow through Google's AI assistant: real-time translation, Google Maps navigation prompts, on-demand visual identification, and contextual information overlays through the paired phone. The glasses pair with both Android and iPhone.

No Display — Yet

The first-generation Galaxy Glasses are audio-only with no built-in display. Samsung is positioning this as a "2026 entry point" before a display-equipped model targeting 2027 with a micro-LED heads-up display, estimated at $600–$900.

What This Means for Buyers

At $379, the Galaxy Glasses match the Meta Ray-Ban at $379 on Amazon while adding Gemini AI and Android XR integration — a meaningful differentiator for Android users. The Even Realities G2 offers a display but no camera and costs more. If you want display glasses today, the XREAL One Pro at $599 is the best option. Pre-orders open July 22.
