Solos has released the AirGo V2, the fourth generation of its smart glasses line, which features an integrated camera and real-time translation capabilities. The device is now available for purchase, offering hardware modularity for privacy-conscious users.
Why it matters
The AirGo V2 attempts to balance the utility of wearable cameras with user privacy concerns through a swappable hardware design. By integrating translation tools into a standard-weight frame, Solos continues to iterate on the usability of smart eyewear for everyday communication.
The AirGo V2 weighs 40 grams and features a 16MP camera capable of recording 2K resolution video at 30 frames per second. Users can achieve up to 12 hours of operation per charge, with an optional battery temple extending this to 5 days.
The players
Solos
A developer of wearable technology specializing in smart glasses and audio-enabled eyewear.
The details
The AirGo V2 utilizes a modular system that allows users to swap the camera hardware for a ClearView Temple, which removes the camera entirely. For those concerned with video recording, a dedicated privacy kit—a clip-on front frame—physically blocks the camera lens. The glasses integrate with SolosChat 4.0, a software layer that provides translation across 28 languages.

The Tech Race
The AirGo V2 enters a crowded market of smart eyewear, competing against established options like the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses. It distinguishes its roadmap through modular hardware components, allowing users to physically remove sensors to prioritize privacy.
The AirGo V2 retails for $299, with a $79 privacy kit available to block the onboard camera. These glasses are intended for users seeking real-time language translation in a 40-gram wearable form factor.
The takeaway
The AirGo V2 suggests a pivot toward modular wearables where users exert physical control over sensor suites. Prospective buyers should watch for user benchmarks on the accuracy of the SolosChat 4.0 translation engine compared to standard smartphone-based alternatives.
