Snap Launches $2,195 Specs AR Glasses for Consumers

Snap has unveiled Specs, its first consumer augmented reality glasses, priced at $2,195. The standalone wearable computer features see-through AR lenses and is available for preorder with a $200 refundable deposit at specs.com. Shipments are expected this fall in the US, UK, and France.

Specs deliver a self-contained AR design without external hardware. The glasses operate fully standalone with no puck or tether. They come in two sizes: a 47mm model weighing 132 grams and a 52mm model weighing 136 grams. Removable inserts support a wide range of prescriptions.

Both lenses can display content powered by proprietary liquid crystal on silicon technology. The system provides a 51-degree field of view and shows 16 million colors. The lenses transition from clear to tinted in 10 seconds.

Dual Snapdragon processors power computer vision and AR experiences. One processor focuses on computer vision while the other runs AR Lenses. Together they enable fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that anchor digital content in the real world. Snap has not specified which Snapdragon chips are used.

Battery life reaches four hours with a charging case for 20 hours total. The rating accounts for audio and video playback, AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, and more. The included charging case provides four additional charges.

Consumer focus shifts toward AR experiences over content capture. Unlike prior developer-only versions, these Specs target everyday users. Features include games with shared multiplayer sessions activated by eye contact, video watching, point-of-view recording, web browsing, productivity apps, email, and contextual AI that identifies objects. The design resembles Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses but with a central 51-degree AR display rather than a bottom screen.

Pricing positions Specs between Meta’s Ray-Bans and Apple’s Vision Pro. The $2,195 cost exceeds most Meta Ray-Ban models that start at $350 while remaining below the Vision Pro’s $3,500 entry point. Snap CEO Evan Spiegel noted that oversized glasses are on trend but emphasized delivering standout capability over following fashion.
