IT News on October 13th: Samsung's first smart glasses will be available for purchase in about a month. Foreign media SammyGuru has released pictures of the full range of frame styles and colors for these smart glasses, which are a collaboration between Gentle Monster and Warby Parker.

IT Home has noticed that SammyGuru has also obtained the core specifications of this upcoming Samsung smart glasses, which include a piece of data that Samsung has not yet made public: the overall weight of the device. It is reported that when paired with standard lenses, the weight of these smart glasses is approximately 41 grams. If custom optical lenses are chosen, the weight will increase slightly, and there will also be differences in weight among different models.

At the Unpacked press conference, Samsung only stated that these glasses are lighter than most AI smart glasses; now, we finally have a specific numerical value to confirm this.

• Weight: Approximately 41 grams with standard lenses
• Chip: Snapdragon AR1 Gen1
• Memory and Storage: 2GB of RAM, 64GB of storage space
• Camera: 12 million pixels, supports 30-frame 3K video recording
• Audio: Two open-type speakers, four-microphone array
• Battery: The glasses themselves can last up to 9 hours on a single charge, and when paired with the charging case, they can last up to 72 hours.
• Waterproof rating: IPX4; the charging case does not have a waterproof rating.

This pair of glasses does not come equipped with a display screen; the voice content replied by AI is played through two open-type speakers. There are four microphones used for calls and voice interaction with Gemini. The glasses have 2GB of built-in memory and 64GB of storage space, which can be used to save photos and videos before transferring them to a smartphone later on.

The glasses support IPX4 waterproofing, so sweat and light rain will not cause damage, but the accompanying charging case does not have waterproof capabilities. The battery life is consistent with what Samsung promised at the Unpacked launch event: the glasses themselves have a maximum battery life of 9 hours; with the charging case fully charged, the total usage time can reach up to 72 hours.
