FCC listing shows details on Snapchat Spectacles 2

It looks like Snap Inc. isn’t ready to give up on its Spectacles just yet. A new heavily redacted FCC filing shows what could possibly be considered the second version of the social media company’s wearables. As mentioned, the filing is heavily redacted but there are some details that point to what we could expect from Spectacles 2. The filing mentions that it’s for a “wearable video camera” from Snap Inc. and has the FCC ID of 2AIRN-002.

There’s also a proposed packaging label for the device that mentions Spectacles specifically and even the mention of Model 002. It also suggests that the device will support 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. And it’s made for the iPhone but will also support Android. There’s not much else we can say as there are multiple confidentiality requests attached to the filing. For some of the items that are considered short term, things are requested to be kept under wraps until May 26, 2018. Now, the question is whether Snap will release this is another question altogether as filings don’t necessarily mean a product is on the way.

Google stops selling Pixel and Pixel XL on its online store

While you might still find the Pixel and Pixel XL being sold by third-party vendors, you won’t be seeing these Google smartphones in the company’s own online store. Google confirmed with The Verge that they are no longer selling the original Pixel phones. You’ll have to look elsewhere to get one. With Google pushing the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, it makes sense for them to take out the previous generation phones.
