Snap's Spectacles are a one-size-fits-most stylish-looking sunglasses with a built-in camera on their top-right side connectable via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to the Snapchat mobile app. Their top-left side of is equipped with a recording button and a circle of LED lights indicating that the device is connected to the app and/or recording, and also holds a battery, as well as a magnetic contact for recharging. There is also a red light situated on the inner left side of the glasses that lights up when the battery is low. Recharging is provided by the Spectacles' yellow case, which is able to fully charge the device up to four times before it itself needs to be recharged. According to the official information provided by Snap, the glasses are capable of capturing 100 Snaps (i.e. the 10-second short video clips) per one full charge. However, as reported by Matt Swider of TechRadar, "transferring video via Wi-Fi reduced that total by more than half", so it is "best to capture what you see in a single take and move on".<ref name="ref2">SWIDER, Matt.

The camera has 115 degrees field of view, and is able to record Snaps either in a normal 704x704 resolution at the 29,97 frame rate, or in HD 1088x1088 resolution at the 59,97 frame rate.<ref name="ref3">POULSEN, Anders.

This also means, however, that captured Snaps are best viewed through the Snapchat app. Exporting clips can be done rather easily, but they either result in a full circle video that has ugly white borders, or give a cut-off view flanked by black borders. As concluded by Matt Swider of TechRadar, "Spectacles really are meant for Snapchat".<ref name="ref2"/>

Snap's Spectacles might rise some privacy issues due to their ability of capturing video clips and sharing them online on-the-go. However, as written by Victoria Turk of Wired, "Snap has integrated several design features to make it clear when the Spectacles are filming. The main one is a circle of LEDs that light up when the camera is recording, which makes taking a video with Spectacles about as obvious as holding a phone up to snap someone’s portrait".<ref name="ref5">TURK, Victoria.

I’ve gotten comments from fellow tech journalists who have said, “If only the yellow circles weren’t so obvious!”
