Solos AirGo A6 Smart Glasses Weigh Just 19g, Drop Camera for AI Voice Assistant

Solos has unveiled the AirGo A6, a new iteration of its smart glasses that ditches cameras in favor of a lighter, voice-driven AI assistant design. The glasses weigh approximately 19 grams, roughly half the weight of last year's AirGo A5, which ranged from 36 to 40 grams. The weight reduction is largely achieved through slimmer temple arms that still house speakers, batteries, and other electronics. By comparison, Meta's recently announced smart glasses weigh between 54 and 60 grams depending on the frame style. Pricing and availability for the AirGo A6 have not yet been confirmed, though the glasses are expected to support full prescription lens compatibility.
