Google and Samsung open pre-orders for Gemini glasses starting at $395
Google and Samsung have unveiled Intelligent Eyewear with a camera and Gemini voice assistant. Pre-orders are now open, with sales beginning on December 10.
The glasses were developed in collaboration with the brands Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. In the U.S., Warby Parker models start at $395. The Gentle Monster collection will launch in the U.S. and South Korea, priced from $449. Both lines offer options with prescription lenses.
The frame features a built-in 12 MP wide-angle camera. Through it, Gemini can describe what the user sees. The glasses also allow users to receive voice-guided navigation, translate speech, listen to music, and capture photos and videos. Gemini functions and streaming require a compatible smartphone connected via Bluetooth.
According to Google, the glasses weigh approximately 41 g and operate for up to nine hours without recharging. The included case can recharge them up to seven times. When saving a photo or video to the gallery, an external indicator light on the frame illuminates.
