The shades are water resistant with the camera and the LED ring on top of the frames.Capture 1,642 x 1,642 resolution photos and 1,216 x 1,216 resolution videos at 60fps using the built-in camera.

Snap Spectacles lost almost 290 crore INR in unsold inventory when the first gen of these shades didnt do well in the market. It was almost around the same time when Mark Randall, Snap Inc's vice president of hardware who was heading the Spectacles project quit the company.The new Snap Spectacles 2 Nico and Veronica frames are available for 69,500 INR on the companys website. The older version is also available in the website, in case you want to check it out. These frames will also be sold in Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom stores in the US and by select retailers in Europe.Snap, being cautious this time, only has a limited number of frames with plans to produce more depending on the sales.
