Latest update (11-12 11:37): Google opens preorders for Gentle Monster and Warby Parker smart glasses

Overview: Google and Samsung have opened preorders for smartglasses that run Gemini, sold through eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. Samsung provides the computing hardware and Google provides the software, according to Ars Technica. A Google Gemini post on X says users can say "Hey Gemini" to get street art information, book recommendations, real-time translation, or check their calendar.

Warby Parker's Alden, Reid and Wren frames start at $395 and are sold only in the US. Gentle Monster's styles start at $449 and will be available in the US and South Korea. Both come with standard optical or sun lenses in Pine, Saddle and Jet Black. A Testing Catalog report says Gentle Monster's version appears not yet available, and that the glasses offer up to 9 hours of battery life. The reports give no shipping dates.
