Huawei launching smart glasses by July

Smartphone manufacturers have made their way into most of our pockets, are trying to get us all to wear one of their watches on our wrists, and it seems the next battleground is for our eyes. So when Huawei announced the P30 and P30 Proin Paris today, it also revealed smart glasses that are expected to launch later this year.

As The Verge reports, Huawei clearly realizes that how eyewear looks is very important to consumers, so it didn’t create these smart glasses alone. Instead, a new partnership has been formed with the Korean luxury eyewear company Gentle Monster. The result is a pair of glasses both companies hope we will all want to wear. You can judge for yourself by viewing them in the tweet below:

These smart glasses will not have any cameras embedded in them, which is sure to calm any privacy concerns as well as allowing battery life to be extended considerably. Instead, the glasses will allow you to answer calls hands-free by tapping the temple. Dual mics and speakers should allow for an easy conversation even in noisy environments.

The embedded battery is 2,200mAh and can be recharged via a USB-C port. The glasses are also IP67 rated for dust and water resistance, so they should hold up well in most weather conditions.

Unfortunately, we don’t know the price yet, but Huawei intends to launch the smart glasses in June or July this year, so we don’t have long to wait to find out.
