Leak reveals specs and renders of Samsung's smart glasses, and they beat the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) in multiple areas

Back in May during Google I/O 2026, Google announced the smart audio glasses it made in collaboration with Samsung and eyewear brands, Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. The announcement only revealed what the glasses are capable of and an early look at two designs that will be available when they are released in November. Now, a leak has revealed all the designs of the Android XR-powered glasses, as well as the technical specifications.

The Galaxy Glasses, as they are referred to, will be going up against the Ray-Ban Meta and Meta Glasses, not just in terms of features, but also in terms of styles/designs. According to SammyGuru, the Galaxy Glasses will be available in six Gentle Monster frames and three Warby Parker frames.

The Gentle Monster frames include two square frames, two oval frames, a round frame, and a cat-eye frame. Buyers will be able to choose from different color options and lenses type during purchase. On the other hand, the Warby parker variants are reported to be called Alden, Reid, and Wren; and like the Gentle Monster frames, these too will be available in a handful of colors, with the option of clear/tinted lenses or as sunglasses. There will also be an option for prescription lenses.

Unfortunately, availability will be based on regions as the source says Gentle Monster frames will be sold in South Korea and the US while Warby Parker frames are a exclusive to the US. Hopefully, Samsung extends availability to other regions.

With respect to specs, the Galaxy Glasses are powered by the Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 and it is paired with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, double that of the recently launched Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3). They have a single 12MP camera that can record in 3K at 30 fps.

They also have two open-ear speakers and four microphones, two fewer than the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3); and are rated IPX4 for water resistance. The battery life for the Galaxy Glasses is reported to be up to 9 hours and goes up to 72 hours with the included charging case. Unfortunately, the case doesn't have an IP rating.

The Galaxy Glasses not only has an overall longer battery life than the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) which lasts 9 hours on a single charge and gets up to an additional 50 hours with the charging case, Samsung has also made them more lighter at 41 grams (with standard lenses). It is worth mentioning that the weight will differ across styles.

The Galaxy Glasses are expected to launch in November with compatibility for Android smartphones and iPhones. However, the source says there are some features that require a recent Galaxy S or Galaxy Z series smartphone that is running One UI 9 or later. There are also features that require a Galaxy Watch running Wear OS 7 or later.

There's still no info on the price of the Galaxy Glasses, but they are likely to be priced competitively. For comparison, the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) starts at $449 in the US (available on Amazon).
