Samsung opens smart glasses preorders November 12 with Warby Parker

Technology Nov 06, 2026

After months of anticipation, Samsung is dropping its new smart glasses, with preorders kicking off November 12, 2026.

Thanks to a team-up with Warby Parker, you'll get plenty of styles, lenses, and colors to pick from.

If you're eyeing a pair, the official release is set for December.

Smart glasses draw international privacy scrutiny

Samsung's launch isn't all smooth sailing: smart glasses are under the microscope for privacy reasons.

Norway might ban them nationwide, and parts of Hamburg have already said no.

In the US senators are grilling Meta about the company's privacy practices and safeguards and data collected for AI training.

Samsung's partnership with Google could help it sidestep scrutiny as it steps into this closely watched market.
