Solos, the company behind the AirGo 3 smart glasses, continues to add new functionality to the cutting-edge wearable. The latest update is a live search feature where you can ask the AI-powered smart glasses a series of questions following a tap of the frame to wake the system up. Because it understands context, you can phrase your questions naturally.

The Solos smart glasses come in several different styles and are audio smart glasses, unlike Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which incorporate a camera. What makes them stand out in comparison is that the “smart” technology is built into the arms, allowing you to change the face and lenses at will. This allows you to use the AirGo3 glasses for everyday, sport, or casual wear without losing functionality.

The Live search update uses Solos’s own SolosChat software and AI services like ChatGPT. Solos suggests use cases, including searching for prices and information on products when out shopping or as a tour guide in a new location. The smart glasses will follow the conversation without you having to repeat or specifically phrase questions to get an answer.

Kenneth Fan, co-founder at Solos, said:

“By adding live search to smart glasses, we’re allowing people to have the power of an AI assistant and teach engine instantly available anytime with just a natural voice interface. Our open and modular technology architecture enable Solos to integrate the latest innovations in artificial intelligence and software services.”

Live Search joins other AI software features, including live translation, text-to-speech support for messages, and access to an AI assistant to help with organization and work. Live Search will be added through an over-the-air software update that will be delivered to the smart glasses starting today. Solos AirGo 3 smart glasses start at $199 and are available in several different styles and colors, with the option to add prescription lenses.

An AI assistant is available for the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in the U.S. It makes use of the camera to provide more information on your surroundings. Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses also come in different styles and colors, with or without prescription lenses, and start at $299.

Meta just launched a vibe-coding app for games, and it’s called Pocket
The new AI-powered app lets users create, play, and share mini-games using natural language.

If "vibe coding" wasn't already everywhere, Meta is making sure it is now. The company has quietly launched Pocket, a new AI-powered app that lets users generate, play, and share interactive mini-games simply by typing what they want. No game engine, no programming language, and definitely no debugging at 2 a.m. Just prompts.

OPPO’s Bubble made me wish magnetic accessories were this fun
This magnetic OPPO accessory is more useful than it looks
Oppo Bubble Featured

Some smartphone accessories, like power banks, are quite useful, while others are cute for about five minutes before the novelty wears off. The Oppo Bubble looked like it was going to be part of that latter, but I had too much fun with it, and now I want more accessories to be this way. One that doesn't take itself too seriously, without missing out on some well-thought-out functionality.

I used it with the Oppo Reno 16 Pro, which already has one of the flashier phone designs I have seen this year. The Pop White version has Oppo’s 3D Pop Planet look on the back, giving it this floating, toy-like visual effect. Snap the Bubble onto the rear, and it's all iced out.

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide just leaked again, and this time the biggest takeaway isn't the cameras or the color — it's the shape. Two fresh leaks are painting a clearer picture of Samsung's next book-style foldable, suggesting the company may finally be addressing one of the Galaxy Z Fold lineup's longest-running complaints.

Sometimes wider really is better
