After GMC successfully launched the Hummer EV Pickup, the company announced new electric trucks and SUVs with multiple customization configurations, including a 3X trim package.

The 3X line of vehicles was initially intended to launch during the fall of 2022, but consumers have had to wait until mid-2023 for a Hummer EV Pickup to arrive with 22-inch wheels and 35-inch all-terrain tires. Meanwhile, the Hummer EV SUV will only become available in 3X trim for the 2024 model.

When released, GMC’s Hummer SUV and pickup will be available in two trims, Edition 1 and 3X.

For the pickup version, the 3X trim version can be equipped with an optional extreme off-road package. Meanwhile, the SUV sees both 3X and Edition 1 vehicles come with the option for an off-road package.

In addition to increased customization, GMC has announced that the new vehicles can travel 355 miles on a single charge. However, this figure will decrease if a customer has specced their vehicle with mud tires, skid plates, and other weighty accessories.

GMC is still keeping quiet about some of the new vehicle specs. Still, we do know that they will feature the same three-motor layout as previous generations, with outputs of a frankly insane 1,000 horsepower and a gargantuan towing capacity of 7,500 to 8,500 pounds.

Despite a rather hefty starting price tag of $80,000, consumer interest is building for GMC’s new electric trucks. Preorders went live in September 2022, with reservations quickly hitting 65,000. Although waiting lists are at full capacity, GMC has more electric vehicles in the pipeline, including the Sierra Denali truck and Chevy Silverado.

samsung smart glasses teased for january software reveal imminent

Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.

As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

Just in: Samsung is set to unveil a prototype of its augmented reality (AR) glasses, currently in development, during the Galaxy S25 Unpacked event early next year, likely in the form of videos or images.

Additionally, prior to revealing the prototype, Samsung plans to introduce…

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.

A Collaborative Software Effort

Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.

Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.

Feature Set And Compatibility

The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
