Snap releases Spectacles v2

May 22, 2018 Staff reporters

Snap recently released the new version of Spectacles, its (more-or-less) hands-free camera, with new features for taking photos and better water resistance. This version aims to solve problems and add functionality following the less-than-spectacular launch of the first version, which users found uncomfortable and more than half stopped using within a month.

“We want Spectacles to be the simplest and easiest way to make memories from your point of view, and we appreciate all of your thoughtful feedback — many of these improvements were inspired by you!”, say the Snap Team. “Spectacles are now more comfortable to wear with a smaller profile, and they're water resistant — so you can bring them to the beach, or your next pool party! 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.”
