A report indicates that Snap's augmented reality glasses, named Spectacles, are anticipated to launch in Fall 2026 at a substantial price of $2,500. This information comes from a newsletter by reporter Alex Heath, which also noted that Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, plans to showcase these updated glasses soon.
The Augmented World Expo (AWE) event in June has been confirmed as a venue for Snap to present its latest hardware developments. If the timeline holds, Spectacles will be among the first AR glasses released, ahead of Google's planned display-equipped model for 2027 and XREAL’s upcoming Android XR glasses, which are closer to traditional VR headsets.
In contrast, Meta's Ray-Ban Display glasses are already available, priced at $800, but they serve mainly as heads-up displays, unlike Snap's device, which aims to integrate digital objects into real-world environments.
