Google opened preorders Nov. 12 for Gemini-powered smart glasses made with Samsung, Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, bringing a new competitor to a global market where Meta held 69.2% share in the first quarter of 2026. Warby Parker’s collection starts at $395 and includes three styles: Alden, Reid and Wren. Gentle Monster’s six designs start at $449. Both collections are scheduled to go on sale online and in stores Dec. 10, with availability in the United States and South Korea. The launch confirms [Warby Parker’s earlier preorder plan](). About 2.25 million smart glasses shipped worldwide in the first quarter, a 167% increase from a year earlier. Meta accounted for 69.2% of the global smart-glasses market during the quarter. The frames weigh about 41 grams and are rated for up to nine hours of battery life. Their charging case can recharge them up to seven times. The glasses also have a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. Gemini can provide turn-by-turn directions, conversational descriptions of what the wearer sees and real-time speech translation across more than 70 languages, with automatic language detection. Guided Vision and Aira support at launch require a compatible Android phone. Google says it does not store visuals submitted with questions about the wearer’s surroundings in Gemini History or use them to train AI or target ads. The company says bystanders’ faces are designed to be redacted before Gemini processes those visuals. “We’re not going to target ads on it. We’re not going to train Gemini on it,” said Juston Payne, Google’s senior director of product management for XR. The glasses have an outward-facing recording light, camera access controls and a physical off switch. Sales are scheduled to begin Dec. 10. ## Links in this article - [Warby Parker’s earlier preorder plan](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/50369)
