Google Samsung Android XR smart glasses previewed at IO 2025

Google's Project Aura AR glasses are the clearest sign yet that your phone's replacement will sit on your nose.

The Short Version

Samsung and Google previewed Android XR smart glasses at Google I/O, featuring real-time voice translation and camera-based AI, designed with Gentle Monster.

Google invested $100 million in Gentle Monster last year, and now those glasses are , previewed at Google I/O with live voice translation that mimics the speaker's actual voice and overlays menu text directly in your view. They run light because your phone does the heavy lifting over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Apple has no ship date, no partner, and no product. Samsung and Google have all three.
