first device potentially launching in 2027<\/a>.<\/p>\nGoogle is getting there first, though. The company officially unveiled its first smart glasses running Android XR at its 2026 developer conference, beating Apple to the punch.<\/p>\n
While Google ultimately plans to release smart glasses with a built-in display, it is starting with a simpler audio-focused model for its first-generation product.<\/p>\n

The audio-only smart glasses feature Gemini integration. You can invoke the assistant by saying \u201cHey Google\u201d or by tapping the side of the frame. From there, you can ask the AI assistant about the world around you, ask for navigation directions, manage calls, send messages, get real-time translations and more.<\/p>\n
While the specs of the smart glasses aren\u2019t available yet, they feature an integrated camera, microphone and speakers. You can capture photos and videos with them, and even use Nano Banana to remove unwanted objects \u2014 all through voice commands.<\/p>\n
Use Gemini to order coffee or book a cab<\/p>\n
Since the smart glasses will feature full-fledged Gemini integration, Google says you can even take advantage of Gemini\u2019s agentic capabilities to order coffee from DoorDash or book a cab from Uber, without taking out your phone from your pocket.<\/p>\n
Besides Android, Google\u2019s audio-only smart glasses will also work with iPhones. <\/p>\n
