Samsung's AI glasses finally have a price and a date. The company showed its full "Intelligent Eyewear" lineup in New York on Nov. 12, and the glasses go on sale on Dec. 10 in South Korea and the US.

What happened?

Samsung revealed 30 models made with Google, Gentle Monster (a Korean fashion eyewear brand) and Warby Parker (a US glasses retailer). That's 16 Gentle Monster designs and 14 Warby Parker ones. Pre-orders open today on both brands' official online channels.

In Korea, only the Gentle Monster collection will be sold, priced at 650,000 to 700,000 won depending on the model. In the US, you can get both brands.

The frame weighs about 41g and packs in a camera, speakers and microphones. Google's Gemini AI handles things like translating a foreign-language menu, giving directions, answering questions about what you're looking at and summarising meeting notes. Snap a photo of a whiteboard, ask Gemini for a summary, and it can be saved to Samsung Notes on your phone.

What about battery and compatibility?

The left side of the frame holds a 12-megapixel HDR camera. Battery life is up to 9 hours on one charge, or up to 72 hours with the charging case.

The glasses work with Galaxy phones running One UI 9 or later, Google Pixel 7 series and newer, and iPhone 13 and newer running iOS 26.6 or later. With a Galaxy phone you also get Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant.

What about privacy?

An outside LED lights up whenever you take photos or video. If someone covers it or it stops working, the camera is disabled. Take the glasses off and the camera switches off automatically.

Samsung says visual data collected by Gemini isn't used for AI training or advertising, and faces are anonymised on the device when the glasses scan your surroundings. Users must be 18 or older, checked through a Samsung account when you activate the device.
