Samsung could unveil its first smart glasses, reportedly called Intelligent Eyewear, in November. The unconfirmed device is said to pair Google Gemini features with a 12MP camera capable of recording 3K video at 30fps, while an initial release may be limited to South Korea and the US.
According to the report, the glasses would run Android XR on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 platform, with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Reported hardware also includes stereo speakers, four microphones and a weight of 46g to 50g.
- 12MP camera with reported 3K/30fps video recording
- Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 processor, 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage
- Stereo speakers and four microphones
- Up to nine hours of mixed use, or up to 72 hours with the USB-C charging case
- Reported IPX4 splash resistance
Gemini is expected to handle functions including calls, navigation, music playback, information searches and recognition of objects or surroundings. The reported battery figures would place substantial emphasis on all-day use, although real-world endurance will depend on the AI and camera workloads Samsung ultimately supports.
Frame options reportedly planned with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker
Samsung is also reportedly working with eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, suggesting the product could launch with a notably broader design selection than a single technology-focused frame. Gentle Monster is said to offer 16 variants across six frame shapes, in black, burgundy, cream, light gray and pale lilac finishes.
- Cat Eye
- Round
- Square
- Square Bold
- Oval
- Slim Oval
Warby Parker is reportedly preparing 10 additional variants in Jet Black, Pine and Saddle, with different lens options. Its three named frame designs are listed as follows:
- Alden
- Reid
- Wren
Samsung has not announced Intelligent Eyewear, confirmed its specifications or detailed availability beyond the reported initial markets. A formal announcement will need to clarify whether the company’s Gemini-powered glasses are a limited regional rollout or the start of a wider Android XR hardware push.
