Solos debuts an even lighter version of its camera-less smart glasses
TL;DR
Solos has announced the AirGo A6, camera-less smart glasses built around voice access to an AI assistant rather than photo or video capture. The headline spec is weight: about 19 grams for the A6, down from 36 to 40 grams for last year’s AirGo A5 and far below the new Meta Glasses at roughly 54 to nearly 60 grams. The slimmer temples still carry speakers, batteries, and electronics. Solos is pitching multiple frame designs, transparent color options, and full prescription lens compatibility.
Nauti's Take
This is the sensible direction for AI glasses: make them wearable like normal glasses first, then add features. Cameras sell the futuristic story, but they also create immediate privacy and social acceptance problems.
Solos looks less flashy than Meta here, yet closer to something people could wear on a train, in an office, or at a cafe without making everyone tense. The catch: without pricing, battery details, and real testing, much of this is still polished product PR.
Briefingshow
Solos is making a different bet from Meta: fewer sensors, less weight, and less social friction around face-worn cameras. For smart glasses to become everyday devices, AI features matter less than whether people will actually wear them for hours. A 19-gram frame is a strong pitch, but battery life, audio quality, and assistant usefulness still have to hold up outside the demo.
