Samsung is preparing to launch its first smart glasses, referred to as ‘Intelligent Eyewear’ or ‘Galaxy Glasses,’ with a release expected in November. Following FCC certification in the United States for models SM-O200J and SM-O200P, the devices are expected to utilize the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 platform and Google’s Android XR operating system.

Unlike competitors, these glasses lack an integrated display, instead using a camera, microphones, and speakers to interact with the environment. They will feature deep integration with Google’s Gemini AI to provide services such as real-time translation, voice commands, and visual object recognition. To address design and comfort, Samsung has collaborated with eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to offer various frame styles. The glasses aim to be lightweight, targeting a weight up to 5g lighter than Meta’s Ray-Ban models.

Battery life is estimated at approximately nine hours of continuous use per charge, supported by a charging case providing up to seven additional charges. To address privacy concerns, the devices will include both internal and external LEDs to indicate when recording is active.
