Google\u2019s smart glasses are up for preorder ahead of their December 10, 2026<\/strong> launch. The new Android XR \u201cIntelligent Eyewear,\u201d built with Samsung, starts with models from Warby Parker at $395 and Gentle Monster at $449, Google says.<\/p>\n

Google also says the glasses work with iPhone, Pixel, and Samsung<\/strong> phones. On the iPhone side, support starts at the iPhone 13 Pro, runs through a companion iOS app, carries Made for iPhone certification, and saves photos straight to Apple Photos.<\/p>\n\n

There\u2019s no display here. The setup is voice-first, with open-ear speakers<\/strong> and four microphones, plus real-time translation across 70-plus languages, Google Maps<\/a> directions, and playback for YouTube Music<\/a>, Spotify, Apple Music, and Audible. You also get a 12MP ultra-wide camera for photos and video, according to Google.<\/p>\n\n

For anyone looking for smart glasses that aren\u2019t tied to one phone ecosystem, these look like a serious option, especially once you factor in Guided Vision<\/strong> for blind and low-vision users, support for Aira Explorer<\/a>, a tamper-resistant white recording LED, and Google\u2019s pledge to blur or remove bystanders\u2019 faces from assistant requests without storing them. It\u2019s probably Google\u2019s clearest attempt yet to take on Meta\u2019s Ray-Ban lead<\/a>, with Apple still rumored to enter the category in 2027. Preorders are already open: Warby Parker will sell them online and in more than 360 stores, while Gentle Monster is launching in the US and South Korea ahead of the December 10 release, Google says.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
