- Snap unveiled a new version of its Spectacles camera glasses on Thursday.
- The latest model is a bit slimmer, $20 more expensive, can take photos, offers prescription lenses for an additional fee, and is water resistant.
Snap, Snapchat's parent company, launched a new version of its camera glasses, Spectacles, on Thursday.
The new model is slightly slimmer, can take photos, and they're water-resistant, Snap said in a release.
"Tap the button to record video with new and improved audio, and now, you can press and hold to take a photo! Snaps you capture will transfer to Snapchat up to four times faster, and always in HD," according to the Snap release.
The first version of Spectacles only sold about 150,000 pairs, despite heavy early hype, and Snap was forced to take a $40 million writedown. But Snap says it is a camera company, and it is moving forward with its only hardware camera product.
They cost $149.99, a $20 increase over the first version. You can buy them now at Spectacles.com.
