Snap's Specs AR Glasses Debut at $2,195 with 4-Hour Battery Life
Snap today unveiled Specs, a premium AR glasses system priced at $2,195 (with a $200 refundable deposit) that packs two Snapdragon chips, dual color and infrared cameras, 6-axis IMUs, and a 51° field of view into lightweight frames. The glasses use LCoS projectors for the display, include stereo speakers and a mic array, offer hand tracking and voice control, and support prescription lenses. They can connect via USB-C to display from a computer or phone, and run Lens Studio with AI APIs from OpenAI and Gemini. Battery life is up to four hours with a charging case providing about 20 hours of use. Pre-orders are open and shipping is planned for this fall in the US, UK, and France, as Snap pitches Specs against ongoing AR efforts from rivals like Apple.
