Snapchat's camera glasses are available outside the U.S. with Europe's Snapbots

Snap’s camera glasses are now available outside the U.S. for the first time since the Spectacles launched. The company behind Snapchat announced the overseas availability of Spectacles via a tweet on Thursday.

The camera-clad glasses are available from the same happy yellow vending machines that first sold the glasses in the U.S., with the Snapbot map putting the vending machines in London as well as in Barcelona, Spain. The Snapbots move around, however, typically only staying in one spot for a day, with an online map sharing the latest location. Snap Inc. expects to launch more of the vending machines this summer.

The camera glasses are now also available for order online outside the U.S. as well. While the vending machine allows potential users to try the glasses on virtually, users can also use Snapchat to try on the glasses and pick their color.

The camera glasses were first sold exclusively through the moving vending machines in the U.S. after the September launch, before also shipping online. The company’s latest earnings statement suggests that the company sold about 90,000 pairs since, according to Wired estimates.

The $129 glasses shoot 10-second videos at the press of a button using the 115-degree wide-angle lens built into the front of the frame. The videos are then synced to the user’s Snapchat account. The classes charge inside their own carrying case.

The camera glasses came at the same time Snapchat turned from a social media company into a camera brand, re-naming themselves Snap Inc. to move beyond its popular social media app. Earlier this year, Snap Inc. went public, boasting an active daily user count of 158 million at the time. Rumors suggest Snap Inc. is also looking into developing a 360-degree camera and, potentially, a drone.

After North America, Europe is the second most popular region for Snapchat users.

Google launched Gmail on April 1, 2004, and in 2022, the service hit a new milestone, with 10 billion downloads on the Google Play Store -- a figure that represents 53% of the U.S. email market. This makes Gmail the fourth app on the Play Store to achieve this landmark; the first three were Google Play Services (a requirement for nearly all Android phones that use Google services), YouTube, and Google Maps.

As of January 11, the Google Play Store shows that Google Chrome and Google Search have also crossed the 10 billion downloads mark. Meanwhile, Google Photos is trailing a little behind, at over 5 billion downloads.

As AT&T and Verizon prepare to roll out their new midband 5G spectrum this month, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published a list of 50 U.S. airports that the faster 5G coverage won’t be coming to — at least not right away.

Following several weeks of delays as the carriers and the aviation industry wrangled over potential safety issues, it looks like AT&T and Verizon are finally on track to begin the rollout of the new midband spectrum on January 19. While AT&T hasn’t yet outlined its specific plans for the new spectrum, Verizon has promised to use it to expand its 5G Ultra Wideband network to more than 100 million new customers across the U.S.

To help achieve its ambitious targets in the U.S. for the coming year -- it's targeting number one in feature phones, and number three in pre-paid smartphones -- it has announced five new U.S. exclusive phones that will arrive during the first six months of the year. Top of the list is an affordable 5G phone, followed by three 4G phones, and a new feature phone with Kai OS software onboard.
