Look at something and just ask: Google's Gemini glasses are up for pre-order from $395, shipping December 10
Google opened pre-orders on November 12, 2026 for its first intelligent eyewear, built with Samsung and designed by Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. You say "Hey Gemini" to ask about whatever you're looking at, get turn-by-turn Google Maps audio directions, translate conversations in real time, take photos and video hands-free, or check your calendar, all while your phone stays in your pocket. Google says the frames weigh about 41 grams, last up to nine hours, and come with a charging case that refills them up to seven times.
Why it matters
It's the first time Gemini's 'look and ask' help comes in normal-looking glasses you can buy, so questions like 'what plant is this?' or 'which bus goes to Chelsea Market?' no longer need you to pull out your phone.
Who it's for
People in the US or South Korea who already use Gemini on their phone and want hands-free help while walking, traveling or shopping.
How to try it
- Check your phone is on the supported list at glasses.google before you order.
- Pick a frame at warbyparker.com or Gentle Monster's store, or book a demo at a Warby Parker or Google Store location.
- When they arrive, pair them with the Gemini app and try a simple one: "Hey Gemini, what kind of plant is this?"
- Review the privacy settings for the camera and microphone before wearing them around other people.
Plan & availability: Pre-orders open now online and in stores; in stores and shipping December 10, 2026. Warby Parker (US only) starts at $395; Gentle Monster (US and South Korea) runs $449 to $489; prescription lenses cost extra. Needs a US or South Korean Google account aged 18+, and a Pixel 7 or newer, an iPhone 13 or newer (6 GB RAM) on iOS 26.6+, or a Samsung Galaxy S or Z on One UI 9+. Checked on blog.google, glasses.google and Samsung's newsroom on November 12, 2026.
