Google and Samsung’s AI glasses just launched starting at $449 with styles from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker: what you need to know

Google and Samsung's "intelligent eyewear" AI glasses are finally launching today (Nov. 12) with designs from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. The Meta Ray-Ban rivals utilize Google's Gemini AI platform to bring "real-time assistance" throughout your day.

Starting at $395, intelligent eyewear costs much less than the Ray-Ban Meta (gen 3) glasses, but Meta still sells the Gen 1 and Gen 2 versions, plus a variety of styles with varying prices.

Read on to see what Google and Samsung are offering and how to pre-order a pair.

Google and Samsung partnered with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to produce frames that are meant to look more stylish and like a normal pair of glasses.

Gentle Monster's collection includes six designs in multiple colors, including pink, dark red, gray and yellow, which can be paired with tinted, clear, blue or brown lenses. The Gentle Monster frames are more premium, with a starting price of $449.

Warby Parker's designs come in three styles — Alden, Reid and Wren — which are inspired by existing Warby Parker frames. You can choose optical or sun styles in "Pine, Saddles or Jet Black" colorways.

Prescription lenses are available for both Gentle Monster and Warby Parker options.

Google says that the frames weigh around 41 grams. For comparison, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer design weighs 51.5 grams and the newer Aviators weigh 54.5 grams.

The glasses feature open ear speakers that can provide the Gemini voice as well as music from YouTube or audiobooks.

They do feature a 12MP ultra-wide camera for capturing photos and videos by pressing a button or asking Gemini.
