US EditionGoogle Unveils Plans to Try Again with Smart Glasses in 2026
Google's two smart glasses models will feature AI assistant interaction and private in-lens displays, both running Android extended reality software, launching in 2026.
- On December 9, 2025, Google revealed in a blog post it is developing two smart‑glasses designs and said the non‑display AI glasses will arrive next year.
- Built for Android XR, the devices were developed with Samsung, as announced at Google I/O in May, and are part of Google's emerging device ecosystem.
- Google describes the first model as AI glasses using a built-in speaker, microphones, and camera to interact with Gemini and take photos, while the display AI glasses feature an in-lens private display for navigation and translation captions.
- If you're thinking this is similar to Meta's Ray‑Ban glasses, Google’s upcoming 'Android XR glasses' follow the October 2025 launch of the Samsung Galaxy XR headset, expanding the XR market.
- Google published short videos showing the built‑in display model in action on December 9, 2025, but the company declined to give a launch date for these glasses.
