Samsung intelligent eyewear set for December 10 launch, pre-orders now open

Samsung has confirmed that its intelligent eyewear will go on sale in the United States and South Korea on December 10, with pre-orders open. The collection was developed with Google and has Gemini built in, and it comes in 30 designs from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. Samsung first previewed the project around Google I/O and unveiled the Android XR glasses in July, before a date or price was set.

Pre-orders are open ahead of the December 10 release

Gentle Monster has 16 variations across six frame styles, and Warby Parker has 14 based on three designs, in a range of shapes, colors, sizes, and lens treatments. The frames weigh around 41 grams. In the U.S., Warby Parker frames start at $395 and Gentle Monster frames range from $449 to $489, with Gentle Monster also going on sale in Korea.

With Gemini built in, wearers can ask about what they see, capture a whiteboard for a summary in Samsung Notes, translate a menu, or get turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps. Notifications can be grouped and summarized, read aloud, and answered by voice, so calls and messages can be handled without pulling out a phone.
