Nothing reportedly developing two smart glasses models for 2027

The UK-based technology company Nothing is reportedly developing two distinct models of smart glasses for a potential launch in 2027. According to industry leaker Roland Quandt, the company is pursuing a dual-track strategy to cater to different user needs and privacy concerns.

The first model is expected to focus on audio functionality, acting similarly to a pair of headphones. This version would lack a camera and direct AI integration, instead offering music playback, phone call capabilities, and interaction with a smartphone’s voice assistant. It is also expected to feature photochromic lenses that automatically darken in bright light.

The second, more advanced model would include a built-in camera and more sophisticated artificial intelligence features. This model is rumored to integrate ChatGPT and offer real-time translation capabilities, using the camera to provide visual context for AI interactions. This approach distinguishes Nothing from competitors like Google, which utilizes the Gemini platform.
