Snap has just announced the new
Veronica and Nico styles of Spectacles 2. They contain all the same features
and recording quality improvements as the model first introduced in April, but this
time inside a more traditional look.
If the main hangup that’s kept you
from purchasing Snap’s Spectacles has been their design, two new models that
the company is introducing today might eliminate those hesitations.
It maybe won’t be quite so obvious
that you’re wearing Spectacles anymore.The new models of Spectacles are also
different in a couple of other ways: they've got polarized lenses, and they
come with a nondescript, black “semi-soft” case instead of the bright yellow
hard case you get with the original Spectacles 2.
Both the Veronica and Nico styles are
available starting today for $199 in “limited quantities” at launch. This fall,
they'll also be sold at select Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus stores in the US and
a variety of retailers in Europe.
And like before, Snap’s partner Lensabl will
let customers order prescription lenses for their glasses. Both models are only
available in black for the time being.
Snap says that since the
introduction of Spectacles 2, users have been posting, on average, 40 percent
more photos and videos captured with the glasses. The company has also made it
easier to share that content on other platforms outside Snapchat by adding automatic
camera roll saves and by allowing users to export video in more conventional
square and horizontal formats.
A new feature due later this fall
will automatically curate a day's best Spectacles captures into a Highlight
Story. So if you wear them all day and take a plethora of stills and videos,
this will prevent you from having to comb over everything yourself for the best
moments.
