Gemini AI Glasses from Gentle Monster, Samsung Now Available to Pre-Order

Google has officially opened pre-orders for its highly anticipated lineup of intelligent eyewear, built in close collaboration with fashion and tech heavyweights Gentle Monster, Warby Parker, and Samsung.

Rather than building another bulky virtual reality headset, Google is focusing on everyday style, comfort, and practical utility. The new glasses start at US $395 and are available for pre-order online and across select retail locations. Official in-store and online sales will officially kick off on December 10.

The Gentle Monster collection features six bold frame designs with vibrant colorways like dark red, pink, yellow, and gray, paired with an array of tinted, clear, blue, or brown lenses. Meanwhile, Warby Parker is bringing popular optical and sun styles such as Alden, Reid, and Wren in versatile finishes. Most of these frames fully support prescription lenses, ensuring users do not have to sacrifice their daily vision needs.

Despite packing advanced computing hardware and cameras, the frames weigh between 39 and 44 grams, matching the feel of standard designer glasses. Google engineered the hardware to evenly distribute weight, making them comfortable enough for all-day wear.

Each pair comes with a portable charging case capable of recharging the frames up to seven times, pushing total potential usage well past standard daily routines. On a single charge, the glasses deliver up to nine hours of mixed battery life.

At the core of the experience is Google’s Gemini assistant. Users can activate the assistant simply by speaking or tapping the side of the frame. Once active, Gemini can handle a wide variety of tasks like contextual visual searches, allowing wearers to ask questions about landmarks, translate foreign text on menus instantly, or receive turn-by-turn audio directions straight into their ears via custom-tuned open-ear speakers.

The glasses also connect seamlessly with popular media apps like YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music, and Audible, functioning as discreet, premium wireless headphones. Furthermore, the system can summarize missed group chats, read out incoming notifications, and execute multi-step background tasks like checking your rideshare status or adding items to a grocery list.

The intelligent eyewear pairs with both Android and iOS devices, supporting Google Pixel 7 and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy smartphones running One UI 9.0 or higher, and iPhone 13 Pro models and up.
