Samsung and Google unveil AI smart glasses with $395 price, Dec 10 launch
According to The Hindu, Samsung said at Google I/O in Mountain View on 14 November that its AI-powered smart glasses, co-developed with Google, are now available for pre-order and will launch on 10 December 2026 in the United States and South Korea, with a starting price of $395. The devices, weighing about 41 grams and featuring a 12-MP camera, open-ear speakers and Gemini-enabled AI, were introduced earlier in November at the Google I/O event, with prices beginning at $395, as reported by Ars Technica. Google highlighted privacy safeguards such as a recording LED that disables capture when covered, automatic face redaction and strict data-handling limits, according to Help Net Security.
Android Police noted that the glasses will automatically blur faces before images are sent to Gemini and will block real-time facial-recognition apps. The Rundown AI reported that pre-orders for the Gemini-powered glasses opened with the same $395 entry price. Engadget said Warby Parker announced its Intelligent Eyewear collection, co-developed with Google, opening for pre-order on 12 November.
