- The next smart sunglasses can cost $ 800 (£ 590 / au $ 1,230)
- That is much lower than the previous rumored price of more than $ 1,000
- We will know more in Connect goal in September
The next -generation smart glasses may not be as expensive as it was originally afraid, since the new rumors point out that they cost $ 800 instead of starting in more than $ 1,000.
That is according to the details shared by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg on social networks, who said: “The first intelligent goal glasses with an exhibition in September will now have a price of $ 800”, and adds that this price change comes from the goal of being open to accepting lower margins to increase early demand.
While rumors should always be taken with a pinch of salt, Gurman’s privileged information is often reliable, and this would conform to the usual goal strategy. Just look at their chest 2 glasses with an affordable price and Ray-Ban Meta Smart Smart, which were sold as hotcakes.
It is interesting to note that $ 800 is also only the rumored starting point. Like the specifications of Ray-Ban and Oakley Smart that we have, it is expected to put more for different styles and prescription lenses.
With luck, this will not mean that transition lenses cost too much.
I love my intelligent Ray-BAN specifications, but only since I got a pair with transition lenses that can change between shading and of course, since it allows me to use them indoors and outside, regardless of the weather. My completely shaded pair was good, but nowhere as versatile.
We will have to wait and see what Meta announces in Connect in a little less than a month to find out precisely what their plans are, and also what it will charge outside the United States. While the exchange rates would nail their glasses somewhere around £ 590 / au $ 1,230, goal does not directly follow these rates in their price conversions. As we have seen with its previous technology, its launches from the United Kingdom and Australia generally cost more than its equivalent to the price of the United States.
But a lower price than previously anticipated would be fantastic news. Not only to make technology more accessible, but also to feel more valuable, since, although I am sure that a screen will be useful, I have not yet convinced that it is a sufficient game change to guarantee such a large price increase.
