Samsung has revealed Gemini-powered smart glasses at Galaxy Unpacked, with Android XR designs developed alongside Gentle Monster and Warby Parker.

The glasses bring Gemini assistance into a hands-free wearable format, giving users access to translation, message summaries and contextual support throughout the day.

Samsung has now entered the smart glasses race, with its intelligent eyewear bringing together Android XR, Gemini AI, Qualcomm hardware and styles from established eyewear brands, although pricing and availability remain undisclosed.

July 23, 2026 – Samsung Electronics has announced its intelligent eyewear at Galaxy Unpacked in London this week, showcasing two designs created with eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker .

The company stated that the designs build on the concepts announced at the latest Google I/O, and that the eyewear brings AI directly into the user’s line of sight to provide timely information and assistance while allowing them to stay engaged with the people, places and tasks around them.

Built in partnership with Google and running on the Android XR platform, the smart glasses bring Gemini to a wearable eyewear form factor. According to Samsung, the device can summarize long messages, read key information aloud and support live translation, with users controlling the experience through simple voice or gesture interactions, with gestures only provided via a connected Galaxy Watch9 device.

“Google and Samsung have a shared vision to bring helpful and context-aware intelligence into everyday life,” said Sameer Samat, President of Android Ecosystem at Google. “Built on the Android XR platform, the intelligent eyewear blends world-class designs with Gemini’s advanced assistance that naturally responds to what you see, delivering all-day, hands-free help. We’re excited to continue this momentum and bring this experience to people soon.”

Designed for everyday wear, the glasses combine a lightweight frame and slim profile with battery performance rated at up to nine hours on a single charge, plus up to an additional seven full charges from the charging case, according to Samsung.
