NEW YORK, N.Y.—Today, SPECS Inc. and Verizon announced an exclusive U.S. partnership that will reshape the way people interact with technology. With the introduction of the innovative Charging Case with Cellular for SPECS AR glasses, Snap and Verizon are helping people stay connected wherever they wear SPECS. 

For years, the promise of wearable computing was held back by smartphone tethering and low-range Wi-Fi networks. By bringing Verizon’s fast, reliable 5G network directly to the SPECS Charging Case, SPECS Inc. and Verizon are offering a true heads-up, hands-free experience that keeps users present in the real world while they access real-time digital content.

• Contextual insights & navigation: Receive in-the-moment suggestions based on your surroundings, heads-up directions and travel tips to navigate spaces seamlessly.
• Live translations: Access real-time translations directly in your line of sight to easily break language barriers.
• Spatial timers & measurements: Take and store physical measurements hands-free and place spatial timers in your field of view for uninterrupted chores, cooking or work tasks.
• Hands-free calling & audio: Manage incoming calls with intuitive gestures while enjoying crisp Bluetooth audio for streaming music.
• Large private display: Never miss a game or a new episode with a large, vibrant virtual screen with 16 million colors made for watching your favorite content, wherever you are.
• Shared & immersive AR experiences: While SPECS unlock incredible single-person experiences, they really shine when connected to another person wearing SPECS. With Connected Lenses, digital experiences can be shared in the same physical space, turning any space into a playground for games, learning, collaboration, creativity, and more.
• Power & storage: Includes up to 4 hours of mixed-use battery life and a 5G-enabled charging case that provides cellular connectivity and multiple full charges.

Goodbye activation and upgrade fees: All postpaid customers on all phone and connected device plans can opt-in to Verizon’s Loyalty program and say goodbye to activation and upgrade fees—that’s up to $40 in fees per device.

Verizon Dollars: A program that rewards customers with 3% back in Verizon Dollars every single month, just for being a customer. Verizon Dollars can be redeemed for devices (including SPECS), accessories, gift cards or use them on hotel rewards. Opt-in into Verizon Dollars in one simple step through the My Verizon app.

Verizon Shine, every Monday, every day, all year-round: The loyalty program that gives customers a reason to look forward to Monday, all year-round. All Verizon customers on any plan can enter weekly for a chance to win once-in-a-lifetime experiences, alongside daily drops including tickets to concerts and sporting events, exclusive merchandise, gift cards and more.

SPECS will be available at verizon.com, the My Verizon app and at select Verizon stores, where customers can also get hands-on with the product. SPECS customers will have access to custom data plans, flexible financing and an intuitive digital setup experience.

The SPECS Connected Case bundle will be available for $2,395. Connected Wearables data plans start at $10/month for Verizon customers and from $20/month for non-Verizon customers. Verizon’s standard 36-month payment plan will be available to eligible customers for the purchase of a device with a monthly plan.
