    Samsung could be gunning for first consumer smart glasses release before Google Glass

    A Korean report recently quoted a Samsung spokesperson who hinted that we may soon see a pair of Samsung smartglasses, ahead of the consumer version of Google Glass, which has already come out for developers and first-time adopters. According to the report, we could see the still-unnamed Samsung smartglasses at the latest IFA which should be happening around September 2014. The report says that the Samsung Smartglasses will have the same functions as the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch, although we hope it won't have the same crippling battery life and compatibility limitations. Below is the exact quote from the report:

    Samsung patents Google Glass-like smartglasses

    Samsung may soon come out with their own pair of smartglasses as they were recently found registering a new design patent for a pair. While it doesn't seems to have a name apart from being called "sports glasses" the patent seems to follow the general Google Glass design with a crystal display overlaying a sort of visor. This would probably not fit most prescription sunglasses but they would go well with most sports activities. Other tech specs and features include integrated earphones, a hands-free headset for answering calls, the ability to display notifications and a now standard pairing through a nearby smartphone. The glasses will connect through micro USB which sounds much better than Samsung's other wearable device but we hope there is at least WiFi this time. No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing but we will keep you posted on this.
