These Samsung smart glasses have been shown off by the brand as its latest lineup of wearables that are engineered to help transition the category into a new era. The glasses were developed through a collaboration between Samsung, Google and Qualcomm, and run Android XR on the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 which allows the eyewear to maintain a streamlined design. The eyewear offers access to the Google Gemini AI assistant, which will draw information through a built-in camera to gain additional context.
The Samsung smart glasses have been developed in two models with the styling handled by Warby Parker and Gentle Monster to ensure they can be seamlessly integrated into a consumer's lifestyle. The eyewear is slated to be available for purchase soon.
