The release date of Android XR glasses has been announced

The expected release date for Android XR glasses has become clear. Google's second design partner, Gentle Monster, has confirmed that its first line of glasses will be released in December 2026. This step follows the pre-order announcement earlier in the week.

Moreover, the issue is not limited to history only. The devices will be sold under the name "Intelligent Eyewear", which is used by Google and Samsung. Therefore, the name of the product family is already known.

In addition to Gentle Monster, Warby Parker is also involved in the project. Therefore, the first eyewear series will not be limited to a single brand. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that both brands use the same name.

How Did Gentle Monster Announce the History of Android XR Glasses?

Gentle Monster shared a teaser for a short movie on its X account. Joaquin Phoenix stars in the movie. Moreover, the brand describes the film as "a cinematic journey between reality and dream."

The full movie will be released "mid-November". Most likely the release day will be November 12, which is the same as Warby Parker's pre-order date. However, the most important information is not the movie itself. Because the real news is the calendar in the post.

The release date of the glasses is also included in the post. So, December 2026 has been officially confirmed as the period when the first Android XR glasses will go on sale. This date was previously circulated as a rumor. That's why verification is important.

When Is Warby Parker Available for Pre-Order?

Warby Parker announced that it will begin pre-ordering its first Android XR glasses on November 12. The brand also highlights the same name "Intelligent Eyewear". Thus, two design partners act under the same roof.

Warby Parker has not yet announced a release date. Still, it seems logical that the two brands would launch at the same time. Therefore, the same December window is expected. However, this is an expectation, not a finalized schedule.

A Launch Coming Towards the End of the Year

It's an interesting choice to release a product this late in the year. But still, arriving late is better than not arriving at all. Moreover, it is known that Samsung's first Android XR glasses were leaked with 25 different styles and a 9-hour battery.

However, this information remains a leak. So the official announcement for the number of styles and battery life is awaited. As for the price, there are no figures yet.

For now, the schedule is as follows: Warby Parker pre-orders start on November 12, Gentle Monster's movie will be released in mid-November, and the first Android XR glasses will go on sale in December 2026. Price information has not been shared yet.
