Huawei, the known electronics brand, is collaborating with Gentle Monster to bring a new pair of smart glasses. The announcement for the new wearables arrived during the flagship Huawei P40 series launch yesterday (26th March 2020) and should serve as a unique peripheral to the series as well.

The new pair of smart glasses with Gentle Monster marks the first major upgrade after the company launched a similar product last year. For those unaware, Huawei had previously collaborated with the sunglasses maker last year as well, with the announcement arriving during the launch of the P30 Pro. Gentle Monster is a known luxury brand from South Korea and had launched the GENTLE MONSTER X HUAWEI smartwatch alongside 2 sunglasses and 3 optical glasses in March 2019.

Now, the Spring and Summer 2020 collection for eyewear has been launched, with two new styles. The first is the Smart MY MA 01 and Smart HER 01, the former features round glasses while the latter has a large square share. The new smart glasses adopt the new FLATBA lens inlay technology with the new frame and edge lens fitting perfectly together in order to achieve a stylish look.

Apart from offering UV protection, the smartglasses also support taking and ending calls. They can play and pause music as well with dual speakers and a microphone which is assisted by an AI powered speech noise reduction technology. In other words, this makes it a worthy upgrade over the smart glass launched back in 2019. This might become a new annual tradition for Huawei, but we will have to wait another year to know for sure.
