Snap Inc., the company behind the popular social media platform Snapchat, debuted its own smart glasses named Spectacles in 2016. After that, the company has launched two successors — Spectacles 2 and Spectacles 3.
Years after the launch of second-generation and third-generation Spectacles, the company is now finally bringing them to the Indian market. Snap has also created a dedicated website for the Indian market.
As for the availability, the Spectacles 2 and Spectacles 3 will be up for sale in India through the online marketplace Flipkart. While the Spectacles 2 is priced at ₹14,999 (~$198) and comes in three colors — Onyx Eclipse, Ruby Sunset, and Sapphire Midnight, the Spectacles 3 is priced at ₹29,999 (~$397) and comes in Mineral and Carbon color options.
The second-generation Spectacles were first launched in 2018. Along with the built-in camera, it features a water-resistant body and has a 30 percent smaller profile. It also comes with improved audio support.

On the other hand, the Spectacles 3 was first launched in August last year and it comes with a new minimalistic frame and two camera sensors to replicate stereoscopic vision. Unlike its predecessor, it is not water-resistant.
These smart glasses can be paired to the Snapchat account by looking at the user’s account Snapcode and pressing the button on the glasses frame. They can also be connected using Bluetooth for iPhones.
Spectacles glasses records video in a circular format because the company says that it’s closely approximate the field of view of the human eye. The recorded videos are stored internally and can be viewed and uploaded in the “Memories” of Snapchat.
