WORLDTECHGoogle launches Gemini audio smartglasses from $395 with Samsung hardware
Google has unveiled its "Intelligent Eyewear" line of Gemini-powered audio smartglasses, built with Samsung, Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. Prices start at $395 for Warby Parker frames and $449 for Gentle Monster models, according to a report from Crypto Briefing.
Pre-order and retail dates
Pre-orders for the glasses open on November 12, 2026, with retail availability following on December 10, 2026. The timing places the glasses in the holiday gift window, the report says.
Samsung supplies the computing hardware inside the frames, while Warby Parker and Gentle Monster each designed several frame styles offered with transparent and tinted lens options.
Hardware and battery
The glasses weigh approximately 41 grams. A 12-megapixel camera in the frame can record video at up to 3K resolution. Battery life is rated at up to nine hours, and the included charging case adds seven more charges.
The glasses are audio glasses without a display, so Gemini speaks to the wearer rather than projecting information into their field of view.
Gemini features and recording indicators
Google's pitch centers on hands-free help from Gemini, its AI assistant. Headline features include real-time translation across more than 70 languages and turn-by-turn navigation through audio cues via Google Maps.
An accessibility feature called Guided Vision uses Gemini to describe the wearer's surroundings aloud. Google is also adding visible recording indicators so that people nearby can tell when the camera is capturing.
