Huawei's "one more thing" moment at its
grand unveiling in Paris was the fact that it's working with Korean luxury
eyewear company Gentle Monster on a range of smart glasses.
Before you scream "Google Glass!", or
"Snap Spectacles!", know that these will not have any cameras. Oh,
and they'll also look like ordinary, and, dare we say it, fashionable glasses.
So maybe that will help Huawei succeed where others have failed before?
That remains to be seen - through a pair of these or
not. Also up in the air are any details regarding pricing, although they should
launch in July. What we do know so far is that the glasses will have a 2,200
mAh battery inside, with support for wireless charging, and a voice assistant
built-in.
You'll be able to answer calls by tapping the arms
of the glasses, which also house directional mics and speakers. The glasses are
IP67 water and dust resistant, come with Bluetooth and NFC, and have a USB-C
port.
