Google's first Android XR smartglasses change the game for display-free specs

Google is launching its first lightweight smartglasses powered by the Android XR platform in partnership with frame designers Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, along with hardware contributions from Samsung. Although the devices do not include built-in displays, they feature a 12MP camera, stereo speakers, far-field mics, and integration with Google's AI assistant. The new smartglasses are designed to rival competitors like the Ray-Ban Meta line and will be priced at $395 for Warby Parker models and $449 for Gentle Monster frames. Both brands offer identical technical specifications, including 2GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and approximately nine hours of battery life, with compatibility across both Android and iOS devices.
