A new report reveals that Snap\u2019s long-in-development AR glasses, \u201cSpectacles,\u201d are finally set to launch later this year, but for a steep price tag.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sources, a newsletter from reporter Alex Heath, reported in April that Snap (the parent company of Snapchat) would be previewing an updated pair of its Spectacles AR glasses soon, with a consumer launch \u201cin the fall.\u201d The report was highlighted by UploadVR this week, which also highlighted another prior report that the price target for these glasses is an eye-watering $2,500.<\/p>\n

Oof.<\/p>\n

Snap has confirmed a keynote address at the Augmented World Expo (AWE) event in June which, based on Heath\u2019s reporting, would be an ideal time to talk about updated hardware.<\/p>\n

Should the Fall 2026 launch timeline pan out, it would see Spectacles beating the first Android XR glasses to market. At I\/O, Google previewed the first audio glasses using the platform, with confirmation that a display-equipped model is planned for 2027. XREAL\u2019s Android XR glasses are also due out before the end of 2026, but they\u2019re a bit closer to a traditional VR headset than smart glasses. Meta\u2019s display-equipped Ray-Ban Display glasses are already out on the market for $800.<\/p>\n

Where Snap\u2019s glasses would differ would be that Spectacles are designed for augmented reality specifically, including the abiltiy to place objects \u201cin\u201d a physical space, whereas Meta and Google are currently focused on glasses that effectively act as a heads-up display.<\/p>\n
