Snap on Wednesday unveiled two new — and more stylish — designs
for its Spectacles camera glasses. 

The new styles, nicknamed Nico and Veronica, take a more
fashion-forward approach than previous versions of the
Spectacles, which first launched in 2016. They’re also more
expensive: the new styles will cost $200. The original Spectacles
cost $130, while Spectacles 2 — which were introduced in April — cost
$150.

The key difference between Nico and Veronica and previous
versions of Spectacles is the styling. The new styles look more
like standard sunglasses, and it’s less obvious that they have
built-in cameras. 

And unlike past versions of the glasses, they only come in
black-on-black, have polarized lenses, and instead of the bright
yellow hard case that Spectacles 1 and 2 are known for, they come
with a soft black case.

Otherwise, the new Spectacles have the same internals as
Spectacles 2. They can capture up to 70 videos on a
single charge, can take photos, and they’re water
resistant.

Just like past iterations of Spectacles, Nico and Veronica
require that you have the Snapchat app, and all the photos and
videos you capture will automatically transfer to the
app. 

You can buy the new Spectacles styles on Snap’s website starting today, but they’ll only
be available in limited quantities for now. The new styles will
also be sold in physical retail stores like Nordstrom and Neiman
Marcus, according to The Verge. In the
past, Spectacles were only available to buy online or at one of
Snap’s Snapbot vending machines.
