Snap releases new SPECS AR smart glasses to accelerate spatial computing strategy
Snap, the social media and augmented reality giant, has officially announced the launch of SPECS, a wearable computing device with built-in transparent AR glasses. The move deepens its AI and spatial computing ecosystem into consumer hardware. Pre-orders are now open on SPECS.COM at $2,195, with a $200 refundable deposit to reserve a unit. The first batch is expected to ship in the US, UK, and France this autumn.

SPECS is the result of years of Snap’s research in display, optics, and computer vision, designed for everyday wear to seamlessly merge digital computing with the physical world. The hardware uses high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and comes in 47mm and 52mm sizes, weighing 132 grams and 136 grams respectively, with support for removable prescription lenses.
Under the hood, SPECS features a rare dual Snapdragon processor: one handles high-speed gesture tracking for computer vision, while the other runs the AR app ecosystem. This dual-chip design, paired with Snap’s proprietary Snap OS, delivers an ultra-low response delay of just 7 milliseconds. Battery life reaches up to 4 hours under typical use, extendable to 20 hours with the charging case, providing stable power for AI assistants, audio and video interactions, and Bluetooth notifications.
Snap OS has undergone ten version updates over the past 18 months, unlocking over 40 new APIs, and developers have already built hundreds of Lens applications. Industry analysts note that the launch of SPECS not only highlights Snap’s full-stack AR expertise backed by over 7,000 patents, but also confirms that in the age of AI large models and multimodal interaction, tech giants are moving beyond traditional screens toward a more natural, human-centered “screenless” connection with the real world.
