ChosunBiz reported that Samsung will start selling its Intelligent Eyewear in mid-December in the US and South Korea, citing electronics industry sources. China, Europe and Japan would follow in 2027, after Samsung has watched how early buyers react. That's a few weeks later than the November launch a Samsung official gave The Korea Herald in October.
Samsung hasn't announced a date, and the final price is still being negotiated. All it has said is that the glasses will come at "a reasonable price" for a product "in the premium range." Meta's Ray-Ban glasses start at $449 for the Gen 3 models, so that's the number to measure against when Samsung's arrives. The first pairs have no display and rely on a 12MP camera, microphones and Gemini, with up to nine hours on a charge. If you want a pair as a gift in the US or Korea, expect a tight window before Christmas, and if you live anywhere else, plan on next year.
