Snap has launched two new versions of its second
generation Spectacles. Called Nico and Veronica, the two new models feature new
design and some updated features on top of what was introduced with the second
generation model back in April.
Nico and Veronica feature a more classic design,
which make them look more like everyday sunglasses than the previous Spectacles
models. They don't highlight the camera lens as much and the all-black design
makes the camera and the sensor harder to see from a distance, giving the
glasses a much more regular look that you can actually wear without attracting
attention.
To complement the new design, the new models also
come with a classic leather carry case, unlike the charging case of the previous
models. The new glasses have to be charged by simply attaching a proprietary
magnetic charging cable to the side. This may be somewhat of a drawback
compared to the previous case design that also charged the glasses.
While the only polarizing thing about the previous
Spectacles models was the design, Nico and Veronica come with polarized lenses.
You can also have them with prescription lenses through Lensabl, just like
before. Nico and Veronica are available for US$ 199 starting today.
