Samsung used its Unpacked 2026 event to offer the most detailed look yet at the Galaxy Glasses — the company{"'"}s first smart glasses, developed in partnership with Google. Alongside the core model, Samsung revealed that fashion brands Warby Parker and Gentle Monster have designed their own Galaxy Glasses frames, giving buyers style options beyond a single look.

What We Know Now

  • Camera: 12MP sensor with a dual LED system — one visible to bystanders signals active recording, one faces the wearer for status
  • AI: Powered by Google Gemini on the Android XR platform — long-press the touchpad to summon the assistant
  • Battery: Up to 9 hours on a single charge; charging case provides up to 7 additional full charges
  • Audio: Directional speakers for private listening; weighs approximately 50g
  • Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1
  • Design partners: Warby Parker and Gentle Monster each have their own frame designs

Pricing and Availability

Samsung has not confirmed final pricing, but multiple sources report $379–$499 for the audio-only model. A display-equipped version is expected in 2027. The Galaxy Glasses are on track for a fall 2026 commercial launch — likely October or November.

What This Means for Buyers

The Galaxy Glasses are shaping up to be the first real competitor to Meta Ray-Ban ($379). The multi-brand approach (Warby Parker, Gentle Monster) gives Samsung a fashion edge Meta doesn{"'"}t have yet.
