Samsung sets Dec. 10 for its intelligent eyewear and opens pre-orders

Samsung announced on Nov. 12 that its intelligent eyewear, made with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, is set for release on Dec. 10, with pre-orders opening Nov. 12. Both collections launch in the US, and Gentle Monster models will also be sold in South Korea. Warby Parker models start at $395 in the US, and Gentle Monster models run from $449 to $489 depending on the style. Samsung lists Gemini built in, a 12MP HDR camera, open-ear speakers, four microphones, a weight of around 41 grams and up to nine hours of battery on one charge. The glasses are for users 18 and older, with age verification for activation and app downloads, and Samsung says built-in safeguards disable camera capture if the external LED is covered or not working. When we reported on Warby Parker's pre-orders on Nov. 5, no price, countries or exact ship date had been announced.

Meta's Nov. 16 deadline for version 130 is days away

Meta says in its Help Center that the Adventurer, Fury, Starfire, Nova and Capri Meta Glasses styles can in rare cases get too warm after excessive moisture or sweat gets inside. After Nov. 16, 2026, those glasses must run version 130 or later, or certain features will be blocked. Owners with automatic updates off can update from the Meta AI app, and a pair that still overheats plays an audio message, flashes a red LED and shuts down. Meta says owners can then ask Meta Store Support for a replacement. Our report on the fix has the details.
