Samsung has not yet announced a sales date for its first smart glasses, Intelligent Eyewear, introduced a few months ago. However, recent industry reports suggest that the company's first smart glasses are expected to hit the market in November. The price of the glasses in the United States is stated to range from 349 to 499 dollars. It is known that Samsung is developing these glasses in collaboration with Google, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker. On the software side, Google's Android XR operating system will be used. The device will include a camera, microphones, and speakers, with Gemini being one of its core features. Thanks to the data collected from the camera and microphones, Gemini will be able to assist users by recognizing what they see and the sounds around them.
What does Intelligent Eyewear offer? Samsung is also expected to provide various design options. Multiple designs prepared by Gentle Monster and Warby Parker will be available for Intelligent Eyewear. The weight of the device is expected to offer an advantage compared to Ray-Ban Meta glasses. According to reports from The Korea Herald, Intelligent Eyewear is expected to be 5 grams lighter than Ray-Ban Meta. Samsung claims that its smart glasses can last up to 9 hours on a single charge and the charging case provides 7 additional full charges. Samsung is implementing certain measures against increasingly prominent privacy concerns regarding smart glasses. The glasses will feature two LED status indicators to show nearby individuals when the camera is active.
These lights will illuminate when the camera is in use. If a user attempts to turn off or cover the LED indicators, the camera will automatically deactivate. Privacy issues have also been a topic of discussion between Samsung and officials in South Korea. The Personal Information Protection Commission met with the company at the end of July to discuss how to inform surrounding individuals when the camera and microphones are active. The country's Ministry of Science and ICT has also begun preparing rules to prevent covert recording with smart glasses and cheating during exams.
