Samsung is gearing up to bring its new smart glasses, built on the Android XR operating system, to users this November. Fresh details about the device shed clear light on both its aesthetics and its technical side.

The glasses are the product of a development effort carried out jointly with Google, Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, and they stand out with stylish lines suited to everyday wear. The leaks have surfaced a wide range of information, from color options to the hardware inside.

Lighter than Meta's model

To appeal to different tastes, the company has worked with two well-known eyewear brands. Frames signed by Warby Parker come in Wayfarer, round and cat-eye shapes, offered in black, brown, dark green and pine green tones, along with tinted lens options.

The Gentle Monster collection features three designs with square and oval lines, highlighted by light gray, cream and pale lilac colors. The most striking aspect of the design, however, is the weight: depending on the frame, it stays at around 41 grams. That is significantly below Meta's Ray-Ban glasses, which come in close to 50 grams.

Hardware and Gemini integration

Power comes from the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 processor, paired with 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. On the imaging side, the 12 MP camera can shoot 3K resolution video at 30 frames per second.

For audio, two speakers and four microphones are on duty; users can both listen to music and talk directly to the Gemini AI assistant. The battery lasts up to 9 hours on a single charge, extending to 72 hours with the charging case. The glasses are also expected to integrate with the Galaxy Watch via a compatible Galaxy flagship phone, connecting seamlessly to the Galaxy ecosystem.
