The company behind the popular social media platform Snapchat, Snap will now be launching the Spectacles 2 and the Spectacles 3 in India priced at Rs. 14,999 and Rs.29,999 respectively on July 4th, 2020. With these new Spectacles, consumers will be able to grab images or videos using digital camera lenses that are present on either side of the body. Users can also straight then add the captured contents to their connected Snapchat account via Wi-Fi.

After the company previously unveiled their first-generation Spectacles with an in-built camera, back in 2016, the company has now decided to launch their next-generation Spectacles 2 and the Spectacles 3 in India. The Spectacles 2 coming over as an improvement over the first-gen spectacles brought a water-resistant body, improved audio, 30% smaller profile, and more. The Spectacles 3 debuted in August last year with a better, strong and lightweight steel frame, two HD cameras on either side of the frame to capture depth, adjustable tips, and some new augmented reality creative tools to enhance the snaps while compromising on the water-resistance.
