Samsung's first smart glasses go up for pre-order on November 12. Android Authority reported the date on November 5 with the line "We're just one week away." If you have wondered whether smart glasses are ready for everyday use, you will soon be able to put money down and find out.
What we know
The glasses run Android XR. That is Google's software built for glasses and headsets, much like Android runs on phones. Samsung is the company making the glasses, and this is its first pair. The only date in the material is the pre-order start on November 12.
What we do not know
The material does not say what the glasses cost. It also does not say when they ship, what they can do day to day, or what the return policy will be. Those details matter for a new kind of product, so it is better to wait for Samsung's own announcement than to guess.
Who it is for
Anyone curious about wearing a computer on their face, and anyone who already uses Android phones, may want a look. Business owners who wonder whether glasses could help their staff should also watch the launch. It is too early to say how useful they will be.
What to do
- Check the price on November 12 before you pre-order.
- Read the return policy, since a first-generation device can disappoint.
- Look for the ship date so you know how long your money is tied up.
The takeawaySamsung's smart glasses open for pre-order on November 12, so check the price and return policy first, then decide.
