Intelligent Eyewear, co-created by Samsung and Google, has finally made its official debut. This is the first smart glasses equipped with the Android XR platform. The new product is open for pre-order and is expected to be available on December 10, but the first wave will only be sold in the United States and South Korea.

Samsung has specially invited two well-known eyewear brands to cooperate this time. Among them, Gentle Monster takes an avant-garde fashion route, while Warby Parker focuses on simple and classic styles. The two series provide a total of 30 design variations, covering different frames, colors, sizes and lens options, and also support matching prescription lenses.

In terms of selling price, the Gentle Monster series starts at US$449 (approximately NT$15,000), and the Warby Parker series starts from US$395 (approximately NT$13,000). The United States launched two major series simultaneously, while South Korea only sold the Gentle Monster series in the first wave.

Intelligent Eyewear is deeply integrated with Gemini AI and can talk to the AI ​​assistant. It has built-in photo and video functions, but it does not have a display screen. However, what attracts more attention than new features is the compatible devices. At the initial stage of its launch, Samsung Intelligent Eyewear only supports some Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones. Surprisingly, even Apple iPhone is on the compatible list, but other Android brands are not supported.

According to official information, the first wave of supported models are as follows:

● Samsung: Galaxy S, S FE, Z Fold, Z Flip and Z Fold Ultra series must be equipped with One UI 9.0 or above.

● Google: Pixel 7 series and newer models must meet the relevant version requirements of Android 17.

● Apple: iPhone 13 Pro series and newer models

Although it supports Apple iPhone, it cannot enjoy the full functional experience and will still be limited in some AI, accessibility assistance and application integration functions.

Samsung said that it plans to further expand the scope of mobile phone compatibility in the future and is expected to announce more information in 2027 and beyond, but the specific supported brands and schedule have not yet been determined. In addition, this smart glasses is currently only available to Google accounts in the United States and South Korea, and is restricted to users over 18 years old.

Academic contributions must be clearly attributed and responsibilities can be traced.
