I really want to like Snapchat’s new camera glasses — but the new model doesn’t solve the biggest problems I had with the first version (SNAP)

Snap

On Thursday, Snapchat’s parent company Snap Inc. introduced the second-generation version of its camera glasses, called Spectacles.

I actually tried the first-generation Snapchat Spectacles in November 2016, and I have to say, as much as I loved the concept behind the camera glasses, I wasn’t impressed with the overall design or execution of this particular vision.

Unfortunately, the new second-generation Spectacles don’t solve the biggest problems I had with the first model. Let’s dive in:

First, the pros: Snap did make some improvements in Spectacles 2.0.

The new Spectacles are slimmer, and so is the charging case it comes with.

Snap also removed those ugly yellow circles around each camera from the 1.0 model, which you can see below.
