Snap's next smart glasses get a major OS overhaul to rival Meta Ray-Bans


Snap has launched Snap OS 2.0 with new features, ahead of its lighter, Snapdragon-powered Specs AI glasses.

The Spectacles Browser was overhauled with a new minimalist design, faster loading speed, and optimized power usage for a more intuitive and simple browsing experience. I had the opportunity to try the fifth-generation version myself, and I was very impressed with the realistic AR experience, vivid colors in the displays, and how well they were anchored in the three-dimensional world around me. The new form factor will allow them to better compete with the growing number of AI-smartglasses on the market, including the Meta Ray-Bans, which have seen lots of interest from consumers.
