Gentle Monster signs its first smart glasses with Google and Samsung It is the second model in the collection to be revealed by the brand
Gentle Monster today unveiled the second model in its new smart eyewear collection, born from a collaboration with Google and Samsung. This marks a significant milestone for the brand, which for the first time has incorporated advanced technological features — including audio, a camera, microphones, and Google Gemini artificial intelligence — into its now-iconic designs. The collection represents Gentle Monster's debut in the smart eyewear sector and promises to redefine the way people interact with everyday technology.
Having revealed the first design earlier this year, the brand has now introduced a new optical frame featuring a clean, minimalist square silhouette. This model stands out for its more understated and versatile aesthetic, capable of blending seamlessly into daily life while retaining Gentle Monster's distinctive design language. The new frame's launch was accompanied by imagery starring two of today's top models: Alex Consani and Anok Yai.
On the technology front, the glasses are designed to be compatible with all types of devices, from Android devices such as Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel to iPhone. Connection is established through a dedicated smartphone app, complemented by intuitive voice commands that make the experience smooth and immediate. Built-in speakers, a camera, and high-quality microphones enable a range of features: from music playback to voice calls, as well as photo capture and hands-free interaction with Google Gemini.
Thanks to these components, the glasses allow users to translate conversations in real time, receive turn-by-turn directions, get contextual assistance, and capture images of the surrounding world — all simply by using their voice, without having to stop what they are doing or look away. The experience is designed to be immersive yet unobtrusive, transforming the glasses from mere visual accessories into true everyday companions capable of enriching interaction with both the environment and the people around you.
A key consideration for everyday use is the attention paid to the lightness of the frame, which ensures extended wearing comfort. The battery delivers up to nine hours of use on a single charge, while the integrated charging case provides at least seven additional full charges, offering a battery life that effortlessly keeps pace with the demands of a busy day or a trip away. The complete Gentle Monster intelligent eyewear collection will launch in full during the autumn and is set to be a standout presence throughout the upcoming fashion month.
