[DiaryPoint=Reporter Um Ju-yong] Samsung and Google’s AI glasses, called Intelligent Eyewear, will launch in South Korea on Dec. 10. The local lineup consists of 16 Gentle Monster designs, priced from ₩650,000 to ₩700,000 depending on the model and lenses.
On Nov. 12, Samsung unveiled 30 models in New York: 16 from Gentle Monster and 14 from U.S. brand Warby Parker. The Warby Parker lineup will be sold in the United States; Gentle Monster is the brand available to South Korean shoppers at launch.
Gentle Monster’s official online store lists select GGS001 models at ₩650,000, select GGS006 models at ₩680,000, and the GGS006 R15 at ₩700,000. The official product page says prices in South Korea start at ₩650,000 for clear lenses.
Voice controls cover everything from menu translation to meeting notes
The glasses have a camera, microphones and speakers, and let users access Google’s Gemini AI by voice. Users can point them at a menu or sign in another language and hear a translation, ask about nearby objects, or get directions.
During a meeting, users can photograph a whiteboard and ask for a summary, which can then be saved to Samsung Notes on a connected phone. The glasses can also read notifications aloud and let users reply to messages. When paired with a Galaxy phone, they also support Bixby.
Depending on the model, the glasses weigh around 40 grams. The left frame houses a 12-megapixel HDR camera, while the temples contain two open-ear speakers and four microphones. Rather than displaying information on the lenses, the glasses use a camera to interpret the view and deliver guidance by voice.
Check phone compatibility and operating system requirements
According to Gentle Monster’s compatibility guide, Galaxy S, S FE, Z Fold and Z Flip series phones require One UI 9.0 or later. Google Pixel 7 series phones and newer require the Android 17 update specified in the guide. Compatible iPhones are models 13 and later with at least 6GB of memory and support for iOS 26.6 or later.
Check that your device meets the compatibility and operating system requirements before buying. Gentle Monster’s official online store lists the glasses as scheduled to launch on Dec. 10, when sales begin in South Korea.
