Gentle Monster and Warby Parker reveal Google Android XR smart glasses launch dates
Google partners Gentle Monster and Warby Parker announced pre-orders for their Android XR smart glasses begin on November 12 with a December launch.
Partners share specific release timelines
Gentle Monster confirmed that pre-orders open on November 12 and the collection launches in December. Warby Parker appeared to accidentally share the same November 12 pre-order date on Thursday. Samsung is also listed as a partner on this Google project alongside the two eyewear brands.
Marketing campaign features major film
Gentle Monster paired its announcement with a teaser for a short film directed by Jonathan Glazer. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix and is set to release in full during mid-November. Google has not yet confirmed either of these specific dates publicly.
Device aims to compete with rivals
The new glasses run on the Android XR platform designed for mixed reality experiences. This project serves as a competitor to Meta's smart glasses and revives the concept of Google Glass.
