According to our CES predictions for 2026, everyone is moving towards AI in wearable tech, which got solidified with Project Motoko and the sleek Project Aura making hypes alongside the latest Google AI glasses. But walking past the booths at CES, one thing became very clear: wearables are officially moving away from just being screens on our wrists to actual intelligence on our faces.
I remember when wearable tech just meant a rubber band on your wrist that told you how many steps you took from the couch to the fridge and back. Now my glasses want to be smarter than my phone. Amidst all the flashy AR displays that make you look like a cyborg, the Solos AirGo V2 smart glasses stood out for a different reason.
They are not trying to be a computer for your eyes, they are trying to be a practical AI-first companion for your life. Here I’m going to break down everything you need to know about the Solos AirGo V2 smart glasses and why these might actually be the smart glasses you’d wear to a grocery store without feeling weird.
What Are the Solos AirGo V2 Smart Glasses?
In the simplest terms, you can think of Solos AirGo V2 Smart glasses as normal glasses that can see, hear and answer your questions. They are AI-powered wearables that look and feel like your everyday spectacles and do you know what makes them smart?
- It comes with a tiny camera that is tucked into the frame to see what you see.
- It also has a voice-based AI that works as a digital brain that talks back to you.
- Solos AirGo V2 smart glasses come with an Open-Ear Audio, which means they have tiny speakers in the arm so you can hear music or AI feedback without earbuds.
- As these glasses come with no display inside the screen, you interact entirely through your voice and the camera.
What’s New In Solos AirGo V2 Smart Glasses
- The Solos AirGo V2 Smart Glasses have a built-in 16 MP camera, which helps in taking clearer photos.
- It also supports 1080p full HD video recording.
- It also comes with Live Video Stabilisation that uses Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) to keep the recording smooth even when you walk.
- These glasses support Multimodal AI via Soloschat 3.0, which means the glasses can process images and even voice simultaneously.
- These glasses come with a swappable battery design, which means they are part of the smart hinge system that allows you to swap the arms if the battery gets damaged and needs a change.
Design and Comfort
One of the biggest problems for a smart glass is the size factor. The Solos AirGo V2 Smart Glasses aim to look like standard eyewear. These glasses are Splash-Proof, which means you can use them in outdoor activities too, as they are IP54-rated.
These glasses use an ultra-slim camera module, which helps the frames from getting heavy, as it weighs 42 grams. It comes with a smart hinge system, which means you can swap frame fronts depending on the look you want. These glasses come with swappable batteries, which means you can swap the arms of the glasses if the batteries get damaged.
By placing the batteries and electronics in the arms, the weight is distributed behind your ears rather than on your nose.
Camera Features
These glasses come with a 16 MP ultra-slim camera, which is meant for Point of View (POV) photos. Since it comes with AI, if you see something cool while walking that you want to capture, you don’t need to take your phone out of your pocket. Instead, you can just give a voice command to capture the image, and it will do it for you.
Solos AirGo V2 Smart Glasses are able to record videos in Full HD with video stabilisation. It has a new EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation) that will help the camera to capture the footage without that shaky effect while you are walking.
AI Capabilities
The Solos AirGo V2 Smart Glasses are not just glasses with a camera, they come with AI (Artificial Intelligence), which is powered by SolosChat 3.0 and AirGo V2 that supports Multimodal AI. It means the AI is not just a chatbot you type to. It can hear your voice, see through the 16 MP camera and then respond on the basis of your surroundings.
It can connect with major AI systems, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek, which are similar to the Google AI glasses, but Solos gives you the flexibility to choose your preferred AI.
You can identify objects, like if you are looking at a plant, you can ask, what kind of plant is and how much water does it need? You can also ask the glasses to translate text.
Audio
These glasses use an open-ear audio design because they come with tiny speakers that are pointed at your ears.
The Solos AirGo V2 smart glasses also come with enhanced directional audio that delivers richer sound with minimal leakage. They use a Whisper Audio Technology that reduces ambient noise by up to 45dB. This means even if you’re on a busy city street, the person on the other end of your call hears your voice with crystal clarity.
With Intuitive Touch Controls, the right temple acts as a touch-sensitive surface. You can swipe to adjust the volume, single-tap to play/pause music or double-tap to wake up your preferred AI assistant without ever touching your phone.
Battery Life
The most innovative part of the Solos AirGo V2 Smart Glasses is how they handle power.
These glasses come with Swappable Battery arms, which means the battery is built into the arms of the glasses. If you have battery anxiety, then you can keep a spare battery arm to extend the use.
Solos officially claims that these glasses give you 10 hours of music streaming and 7 hours of phone calls.
You can charge the battery of these glasses by using a USB to a charging puck, which comes in the box.
At CES 2026, Solos also said that they are previewing a new portable charging case with a 1,100mAh battery. This will allow you to charge one set of arms that will help you with infinite battery life for long trips.
Connectivity, Privacy and its Companion App
Solos AirGo V2 smart glasses connect to your phone via Bluetooth, but they also feature low-power Wi-Fi. This Wi-Fi is crucial for live streaming as it handles the heavy data of video without the lag that is usually found in Bluetooth-only devices.
The companion Solos AirGo App uses the SolosChat 3.0 ecosystem to pick which AI platform you want to use.
Let’s be honest, a camera on your face always raises questions. Solos has addressed this by adding a small light that indicates when the camera is active.
It comes with a modular design that means you can easily swap to a non-camera front frame if you are in a sensitive environment.
Price and Availability
The Solos AirGo V2 smart glasses are launched at a starting price of $299 USD. Alongside these, a portable charging case is also expected to launch in the second quarter of 2026, according to Solos.

Wrap Up
I would choose the Solos AirGo V2 smart glasses because they feel like they are made for the real world, not for a sci-fi movie. I love how they focus on AI and audio rather than having a distracting screen shoved in front of my eyes.
The swappable battery idea is a total game changerfor me. There is nothing more annoying than your smart glasses dying halfway through the day and becoming just a piece of plastic on your face. With these, you can just swap the arms of the smart glasses and keep going. Plus, the 16 MP camera combined with the ability to choose between your preferred AI tool makes it feel like truly open-source software.
Between Project Aura, Project Motoko and the upcoming Google AI glasses, Solos has carved out a space for people who just want their glasses to be a little more helpful. If this is where wearable AI is going, then smart glasses might finally be ready for real life.
