Here's What Snap's Expensive Specs Can Actually Do Snap thinks its chunky, pricey smart glasses are the future of human computing, powered by a new AI app and features that do everything from translating languages to improving your golf swing. Snap, the company behind Snapchat and a new pair of $2,195 augmented-reality smart glasses, is finally sharing more about what its glasses can actually do. Details came at a launch event in Los Angeles, where the company also announced a new AI service that anticipates what you want to do while wearing the glasses--or even just using your phone or laptop. Snap announced its latest Specs in June at the Augmented World Expo tech conference. It says it will begin shipping them to buyers sometime this fall.

You shouldn't have to spend a fortune on a great robotic pool cleaner--but apparently, you do. More difficult to clean than it should be. The market is stuffed to the gills with pool-scrubbing robots that cost thousands of dollars, and consumers are well justified in worrying whether that level of expense will ultimately be worthwhile. But there's also a subset of pool robots that go the other way--much simpler devices that cost well under $500, sometimes much less. It's here where we find the Poolease X1, a pint-sized robot that can be yours for barely over 100 bucks.

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. It's the usual 27-inch, 1440p, 240Hz setup, and don't expect any extras. But this is the cheapest name-brand OLED monitor on the market right now. Since we can't afford any of the components that actually go inside our gaming PCs, 2026 is a great time to upgrade the stuff on the outside. Fortunately, those slick OLED monitors have never been more affordable.

The Honor Robot Phone has been on our radar for a while now and it's finally available to preorder, though just in China for now. The "robot" in the name refers primarily to the automated pop-up camera gimbal, which does seem like a boon for photographers and videographers. This gimbal is made from titanium and can move in various directions, including a full 360-degree rotation. This obviously allows people to get difficult shots that normal smartphones would struggle with. It supports a wide range of cinematic movement modes.

Machine learning is a vital part of many real-world systems, but concerns remain about the lack of interpretability, explainability and robustness of black-box AI systems. Concept Bottleneck Models (CBM) address some of these challenges by learning interpretable concepts from high-dimensional data, e.g.

Evan Spiegel doesn't want you to call Snap Specs AI glasses Evan Spiegel doesn't want you to call Snap Specs AI glasses Snap's CEO sat down with Engadget after his keynote at AWE. Snap's newly announced AR Specs might seem similar to other smartglasses, but Snap CEO Evan Spiegel says that's the wrong way to think about the product. Specs, he says, is a new type of computer, a see-through computer. Shortly after unveiling Specs at AWE, Spiegel sat down with Engadget to tell us more about the device we got a glimpse of onstage. The CEO repeatedly referred to Specs as a computer and that really is core to understanding how Snap is positioning the product (and justifying the price). Specs, Spiegel said, is able to overlay computing on the world around you and bring computing into the world, which is so important if you want to make computing feel more human. But Snap will have to do more than just persuade people to buy a computer for their face.
