Samsung and Google Prepare Smart Glasses for Autumn Launch

The latest prototypes from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker favor a boxy, thick-rimmed silhouette that mimics standard fashion frames. While Samsung restricted hands-on time during the reveal, the hardware remains remarkably light, housing microphones and speakers discreetly within the stems. Each pair features a front-mounted camera equipped with a recording indicator light, alongside a physical power switch and a single control button.

Jaein Choi, executive vice president of Samsung’s mobile experience division, confirmed that additional styles are currently in development. By mimicking the form factor popularized by Meta’s partnerships with Ray-Ban and Oakley, the companies intend to normalize the appearance of face-worn computers. The devices are scheduled for a commercial release this fall, marking a significant step in the collaboration between the tech giants and established eyewear brands.
