Why it matters
The collaboration signals a push toward integrating wearable AI technology into everyday fashion, potentially increasing consumer adoption of smart devices.
Samsung has given us our first chance to check out its upcoming smart glasses in person, revealing two new designs and the first specs in the process, including an impressive 9-hour battery life. The glasses, developed in collaboration with Google and the eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, are due to launch this fall.
Google and Samsung have been teasing the new glasses for some time, and revealed the first two designs at I/O in May. Now there are two more frames: Both are unsurprisingly boxy, with a new set of squared off black glasses from Gentle Monster, and a more rounded, red-brown pair from Warby Parker. Jaein Choi, the executive vice president running Samsung’s mobile experience division, told CNBC that there are “more designs” on the way.
