Samsung's smart glasses start at $395 in the U.S. and release Dec. 10, according to Samsung's announcement. Samsung calls them "intelligent eyewear." Pre-orders begin Nov. 12.

What changed

The Samsung glasses come in two brand lines, made with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. Samsung lists 30 designs in total.

  • Warby Parker: 14 variations across three frames. Starting at $395.
  • Gentle Monster: 16 variations across six frames. $449 to $489, depending on the model.

Samsung gives these as U.S. prices. Samsung says demos start at select Samsung retail locations on Dec. 10.

What we checked

We read Samsung's release and its U.S. page on Nov. 12, then opened the Warby Parker and Gentle Monster shop pages. We did not try the glasses, so the specs here are Samsung's figures.
