Google announced preorders for its Gemini Intelligent Eyewear collections on November 12, 2026. The glasses give buyers a way to use Gemini through voice and a camera while keeping their phone in a pocket, with separate frame collections from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster.
Frame styles and starting prices
In its eyewear announcement, Google lists three Warby Parker frame styles: Alden, Reid and Wren. The line starts at $395 and offers optical or sun styles with multiple prescription and lens options. Gentle Monster's line starts at $449, has six designs and is set for the United States and South Korea. Google lists December 10 for retail sales, so the current listings are preorders.
Using Gemini through the frames
Google describes voice and touch controls, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and open-ear speakers. Its examples include looking at a poster and asking about calendar availability, getting spoken Google Maps directions and using real-time speech translation. Guided Vision can provide spoken descriptions for tasks such as reading small print. Google also says the glasses can connect to a human interpreter through Aira Explorer.
Compatibility and camera controls
Google lists Pixel and Samsung phones and iPhones as compatible device families. Buyers should check their exact phone and lens requirements before ordering. The company quotes battery life of up to nine hours and says the included case can recharge the frames up to seven times.
Google says visuals sent to Gemini from the glasses do not go into Gemini History, and that it designed the glasses to redact bystanders' faces in those visuals before Gemini processes them. That disclosure applies to the described Gemini workflow. Camera and microphone permissions for apps are a separate control buyers can review during setup.
