    No display(s) is so baffling especially from Samsung and Google considering they already have established ecosystems

    • @OneManOnFire

      July 29, 2026 at 12:13 pm

      The rumor is Meta will come out with a dual display glasses and will announce it in September

    • @gokou06

      July 29, 2026 at 6:04 pm

      Because it is first gen. They will sell one with display in future generations.

    Nothing beats Apples ski goggles 🥽😂

  3. @AquaTechFantasy

    July 29, 2026 at 9:20 am

    Zero display was wack . I get first gen but they was talking like they about to be better than the displays. Normal glasses have audio now . I like the battery life but nawhh. Meta displays for the win sadly .. until Samsung and Google drop displays

  4. @MACS0462

    July 29, 2026 at 9:37 am

    Are they compatible with iOS?

  5. @laborspy

    July 29, 2026 at 9:38 am

    coool … more pervert glasses

  6. @937553

    July 29, 2026 at 9:52 am

    Too expensive for tech that will be outdated. The Snap specs quickly became garbage

  7. @Royce16727

    July 29, 2026 at 9:59 am

    I’m blind, and I think I could really benefit from a good pair of AI enabled smart glasses, but I’m willing to wait to see what everyone else is going to come out with in the fall before I just go with The Meta glasses. Or maybe with the Echo Vision Pioneer glasses from a “blind focused” company called Agiga.

    I want a smart glass that doesn’t have a camera but a display. Glasses without a display are not smart glasses, they are just glasses with camera.

    • @OneManOnFire

      July 29, 2026 at 12:12 pm

      Those currently exists and you buy them right now. No camera with a display

    • @ElAteoMexicano

      July 29, 2026 at 1:46 pm

      Depends on what you want to get out of them but I would say for maximum functionality you want cameras displays over the ear speakers and microphones.

  9. @SlayerEddyTV

    July 29, 2026 at 10:17 am

    No displays. End of watching video.

  10. @NYCUptown1972

    In a connected surveillance world that we live in there is no privacy except in a bathroom or maybe inside your home. First thing people do if something happens is pull out the phone and start recording. So why are you crying about privacy.

    • @jupiterkansas

      July 29, 2026 at 2:05 pm

      It’s just because it’s new. Once it becomes commonplace and everyone’s doing it, people will just accept it and move on just like they do with surveillance cameras and phones.

  11. @urbanstrencan

    July 29, 2026 at 10:50 am

    Can’t wait to see what Samsung brings to the smart glasses world

  12. @Kayniq3

    July 29, 2026 at 11:00 am

    So everyone will be wearing glasses now

  13. @MyYoutubesChannel

    July 29, 2026 at 11:23 am

    Wearing cameras on your face all day is so stupid.

  15. @leonnewhall7088

    July 29, 2026 at 11:34 am

    This whole stupid thing about being recorded is freaking ridiculous we all have cell phones we can record anyone we want when we want and no one says anything about a cover on a cell phone

    • @rarestparrot547

      July 29, 2026 at 2:05 pm

      I’m pretty sure it’s about people not being aware that they are being recorded, even with the light. Some people find ways to hide the light, but maybe they have fixed that already. Anyways it’s easier to tell someone is recording you when they are pointing their phone at you but if you don’t notice the light on their glasses, it may go unnoticed.

    • @CometoJesus_2026

      July 29, 2026 at 4:48 pm

      ​@rarestparrot547 hey duck brain. You’re always being recorded

    • @rarestparrot547

      July 30, 2026 at 1:37 am

      @CometoJesus_2026okay so I’m laying down in my room right now, not being recorded. I guess you’re dumber than a duck lol.

    • @rwyo83

      July 30, 2026 at 4:00 pm

      @rarestparrot547 Cell phones are worst, you can record people from the distance with zoom. Most people will buy these glasses is to make content, besides that, they’re really not useful

  16. @barrsm

    July 29, 2026 at 11:38 am

    Scott, at Google I/O it was said that these glasses would work with iOS. Any details on that? Will they just work as well as Meta’s glasses or is there deeper integration?

  17. @jobutl

    July 29, 2026 at 12:58 pm

    Some kind of flip down privacy cover for the camera is a must-have if I’m ever going to feel comfortable owning or being near smart glasses. Are you listening Apple?

  18. @SirCamWA

    July 29, 2026 at 1:16 pm

    Ban them all, massive privacy concern with the camera- not just for others but for the user themselves.

  19. @BobbyMcGee_2023

    July 29, 2026 at 1:48 pm

    No display = no sale.

    Really odd decision by Samsung to omit a display.

  20. @pabloescobar1225

    July 29, 2026 at 5:07 pm

    I really hope they add accessibility options for the low vision people as that would be a major step forward while using AI.

  21. @QuincyGadgets

    July 29, 2026 at 5:25 pm

    Meta has the advantage in design and real-world adoption, but Google’s AI and Samsung’s hardware could be a powerful combination.

  22. @AndreiBelski-fs6ot

    July 29, 2026 at 5:55 pm

    Why are they so stubborn to understand that it’s mostly gimmick

  23. @AndreiBelski-fs6ot

    July 29, 2026 at 6:02 pm

    Please someone tell them I don’t want to wear a phone on my eyes all the time or looking from some mixed reality headset at world.
    Also bending or fluxing my phone is not the best idea, I just want take it out of the pocket without any folding or flexing . Thanks

  24. @BigORider

    July 29, 2026 at 7:29 pm

    The only glasses I need to enrich my life can create subtitles because hearing aids are not good for tinnitus and hearing loss only in the vocal range😢

  25. @benji0boi92

    July 29, 2026 at 8:18 pm

    Maybe the Microsoft Hololens set my expectations too high. This product genuinely feels boring to me.

  26. @chris50966

    July 29, 2026 at 9:35 pm

    Too early for my liking.

    I want a display and for them to not be chunky.

  27. @Echolonious

    July 30, 2026 at 12:56 am

    Google has no excuse to not have a privacy shield on the camera lenses. Their Chromebooks very often have them, it’s not a new concept or problem they’ve treaded.

  28. @domlarry

    July 30, 2026 at 7:41 am

    Nothing smart about those glasses 🕶️ nothing beats the apple so called vision ski goggles 🥽😂

  29. @Godfrey_Mutunga

    July 30, 2026 at 8:19 am

    Do we really need them????????

  30. @boweassange2023

    July 30, 2026 at 9:35 am

    Itsy-bitsy camera drones flying across the continent? What’s the hang? Range/propulsion considerations? R/c signal range?

    If you don’t want people to record you then don’t go in public. It’s a simple fix. Stop creating problems that is really not a problem.

  33. @anthonylamberta4085

    July 30, 2026 at 12:09 pm

    I think if people want to have a spy cam on their glasses thats their choice

  34. @kingof9x

    July 30, 2026 at 1:43 pm

    remove the AI. If they were Bluetooth audio devices with stand alone or no camera I would have already bought a pair.

  35. @Keulseobang

    July 30, 2026 at 2:04 pm

    Not buying, until we can see people’s level and XP on the display

  36. @remmiallimacse8407

    July 30, 2026 at 2:14 pm

    When buying Tech I wait till the 3rd Generation comes out because the first and second always suck.

  37. @Ricky-ez2nh

    July 30, 2026 at 5:19 pm

    I will never buy any of these stupid glasses. I value my sanity and my privacy. Well what privacy we have left nowadays anyway.

  38. @blackistheword7

    July 30, 2026 at 5:42 pm

    Trust me ,if they say 9 hours of battery,it’s going to be 5, meta glasses advertisement is 8 that’s in low case uses. I get 2 to 4 hours don’t believe the hype .

  39. @frozenkingdomBM14

    July 30, 2026 at 8:29 pm

    I need some Samsung x Pit Vipers
