Overview
- Preorders opened on Nov. 12, 2026, and the Warby Parker and Gentle Monster collections will ship and appear in stores on Dec. 10, 2026.
- Prices start at $395 for Warby Parker frames and $449 to $489 for Gentle Monster styles, with prescription lens options and 30 total frame variations across both brands.
- The glasses are display‑free, run Google’s Gemini on Android XR with a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen1 chip, and include a 12MP ultra‑wide camera, two open‑ear speakers, four microphones, 2GB RAM, 64GB storage, and a battery rated up to nine hours plus a multi‑charge case.
- Google and Samsung built several privacy protections into the product: an outward recording LED that disables recording if tampered with, automatic redaction of bystander faces before processing, limits on using captured visuals for Gemini history or AI training, and user opt‑ins for sensitive data use.
- At launch the glasses support Pixel 7 and newer, select Galaxy S and Z series phones on One UI 9.0 or higher, and iPhone 13 Pro and newer, and will be sold through Warby Parker, Gentle Monster and Google with in‑store demos at select Samsung Experience Stores; observers will watch early reviews, real‑world privacy performance, and whether display‑equipped models planned for 2027 keep the same safeguards.
