Gemini glasses go on sale for 395 dollars

Google opened pre-orders on the 12th of November 2026 for its first glasses with the Gemini AI assistant built in, Google said. They go on sale in stores and online on the 10th of December.

The glasses were made with eyewear brands Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, and with Samsung. They have a camera and speakers but no screen in the lenses, Ars Technica reported.

Prices start at 395 dollars

Warby Parker frames start at 395 dollars and Gentle Monster frames at 449 dollars, Google said. Ars Technica said lenses will add to the final price.

Warby Parker sells only in the US, Ars Technica reported. Gentle Monster frames will also sell in South Korea, from 650,000 won, The Korea Times reported.

What the glasses do

Users say "Hey Gemini" or tap the frame to ask about what they see. The glasses give walking directions and translate speech in more than 70 languages, Google said.

They weigh about 41 grams and the battery lasts up to 9 hours, Google said. The case can recharge them up to 7 times.

Privacy promises

A light shows when the camera records, and the camera stops if the light is covered, Google said. Faces of people nearby are blurred before Gemini looks at the pictures.

Ars Technica noted that the data is unencrypted once it reaches Google's servers. Its reviewer also wrote that Gemini still makes mistakes.

Below we break down the battery

Nine hours plus 7 recharges of 9 hours each gives 72 hours, by our arithmetic. The Korea Times reported the same 72 hour total with the case.

Gentle Monster frames start 54 dollars higher than Warby Parker frames.
