It has been a few months since Samsung’s very first pair of connected glasses was officially unveiled. Designed in close collaboration with Google for the software and artificial intelligence (Gemini) side, and with Qualcomm for the processor architecture, the frame’s aesthetics were intelligently entrusted to creators Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, in order to guarantee a premium design and comfort for everyday use.
A November launch confirmed by the Korea Herald
While it was known that the device would be released by the end of the year, the launch window has just been recently clarified by a Samsung Electronics official speaking to the well-known daily Korea Herald. These famous glasses will therefore arrive in November, at least in the South Korean and American markets initially, before a likely global rollout.
FCC certification validated: Meta looms in the crosshairs
This statement is logically confirmed by recent certification from the FCC (Federal Communications Commission in the United States), the sort generally granted as the final step before a commercial launch. These certification documents (see below) show several versions around two base models (bringing together no fewer than 11 variants in total), equipped with an engraving indicator button located inside the wide temples.
These same documents tell us more about the machine’s internals. The two models are compatible with Wi-Fi 6E and [abc]Wi-Fi[/abc] 7, a somewhat surprising technical choice for such small models, which are generally limited to Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6. There is also [abc]Bluetooth[/abc] 5.3 Low Energy (LE), for a transfer speed of up to 2 MB/s with the companion smartphone.
For the record, in order to keep the weight down, these two models in the “Intelligent Eyewear” line do not have a true projected display on the lenses. The devices rely on an onboard front camera, speakers and microphones managed by Gemini AI via a connected Galaxy smartphone over [abc]Bluetooth[/abc], thus directly competing with the success of Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Availability of the two Samsung AI connected glasses models announced for November 2026. Indicative prices still unknown. Reminder of the key features of Samsung AI connected glasses: • Type: smart connected glasses without display (Intelligent Eyewear) • Range: two base models planned (available in 11 style and frame variants) • Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon architecture • Artificial Intelligence: integration of Google Gemini (processing offloaded via a Samsung Galaxy smartphone) • Audio/video equipment: front cameras (with recording LED), microphones and speakers integrated into the temples • Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 LE (Low Energy) • Design partners: frames designed with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker • Battery life: up to 9 hours of use per charge (according to preliminary estimates)
