Prioritizing Comfort and Privacy
As the competition in the wearable technology market intensifies, Solos is shifting its focus toward making smart glasses indistinguishable from everyday eyewear. At the recent AI Smartglasses Symposium 2026 in Hong Kong, the company unveiled new strategies to address user concerns regarding device comfort and surveillance.
The company’s latest offerings, the AirGo A6 and the AirGo V2, demonstrate a balanced approach to integrating AI features while maintaining a user-centric design philosophy.
The Camera-Free AirGo A6
Solos has introduced the AirGo A6 as a lightweight alternative for users who desire AI functionality without the presence of an integrated camera. Key features include:
- Minimalist Design: Weighing just 19 grams (excluding lenses), it ranks among the lightest AI-powered smart glasses currently on the market.
- Versatile AI Capabilities: Despite the lack of a camera, the device supports SolosChat, real-time translation, voice memos, calendar integration, and open-ear audio for seamless communication.
- Platform Flexibility: The glasses operate on an open AI platform, ensuring long-term relevance through future SDK integrations and software updates.
Addressing Privacy with Physical Solutions
Recognizing the growing unease surrounding camera-equipped wearables, Solos has introduced a "Privacy Kit" designed to offer a physical safeguard. Rather than relying solely on software-based indicators, the kit includes a Clip-On Privacy Shield that covers the camera lens, ensuring users have absolute control over when the device can record.
The bundle also features a ClearView Temple and a polarized sun lens, providing both privacy and UV protection in a modular setup.
Global Availability of the AirGo V2
The company’s flagship, the AirGo V2, is now available worldwide starting at $299. This model is packed with hardware features, including:
- A 16MP camera capable of 2K video recording at 30fps with electronic image stabilization.
- The signature SmartHinge design, allowing for customizable frame styles.
- Up to 12 hours of battery life, with options for swappable battery temples to extend runtime.
Software features remain a highlight, with SolosChat 4.0 providing hands-free voice control. Users can interact with the AI for translations, media playback, and scheduling simply by using a wake phrase.
Future Roadmap
Solos continues to refine its ecosystem. While specific pricing and release dates for the AirGo A6 remain undisclosed, the company has confirmed plans for a dedicated charging case arriving in August 2026. The Privacy Kit is currently priced starting at $39, with a complete bundle available for $79. Whether these physical additions will fully alleviate privacy concerns or act as a temporary measure remains a subject of ongoing industry debate.
