Google’s Gemini glasses have moved from preview to preorder. In its November 12 announcement, Google confirmed Warby Parker frames starting at $395 and Gentle Monster models from $449, with retail availability December 10, 2026.
The Samsung-engineered glasses combine hands-free Gemini assistance, navigation, translation, audio, and a 12-megapixel camera. Google rates battery life at up to nine hours, depending on use.
Check your phone before ordering
Support includes Pixel 7 and newer with the Android 17 September 2026 update or later, specified Galaxy models on One UI 9.0 or later, and iPhone 13 Pro and newer. Setup requires a compatible Google Account for an adult in the U.S. or South Korea.
Guided Vision’s spoken visual descriptions and Aira’s human interpreter service require a compatible Android phone at launch and may require a subscription or membership. Guided Vision is not a mobility aid or a replacement for a white cane. Audible is also Android-only at launch.
What happens to the camera data?
Google’s privacy breakdown says visuals used for Gemini assistance aren’t saved in Gemini History or used for AI training or ad targeting. Photos and videos you deliberately capture still go to your gallery.
The glasses are designed to redact bystanders’ faces before Gemini processing and block photo or video capture if the recording indicator is covered. Private AI Compute is planned for later; Google hasn’t provided a date.
For shoppers, phone compatibility and those Android-only features deserve as much attention as frame style. Preorders are available through Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, with demos at selected retail locations.
