Nothing is reportedly preparing its first pair of smart glasses, and the leak points to two separate models. Tipster Roland Quandt shared details on Bluesky on October 13, claiming the UK-based brand is working on one audio-focused pair and a second model with a camera, ChatGPT integration and translation tools. Nothing has not confirmed anything so far, and pricing will be announced closer to launch.
The company has been quietly expanding beyond smartphones. It recently launched two Bluetooth speakers, and earbuds from the brand already sell well in India. Smart glasses would be its first entry in a category that Ray-Ban Meta currently dominates.
Two Nothing Smart Glasses Models Tipped
According to the tipster, the first model works like a pair of headphones built into glasses. It is said to handle music playback, audiobooks and phone calls, and it can talk to the voice assistant on your connected phone. Both versions are tipped to ship with photochromic lenses that darken in sunlight and clear up indoors, similar to the Transition lenses on Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
The second model carries the same feature set and adds a camera on top. This version is also said to get ChatGPT integration and live translation features, which puts it directly against the camera-toting Ray-Ban Meta lineup.
Quandt did not share any images of either model. Design, pricing, battery life and availability details are still under wraps, and there is no launch timeline yet either. For Indian buyers, the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 price dropped to near Rs 15,000 during the recent festive sale, so Nothing will need a sharp price to make a mark.
Smart Glasses Market Getting Crowded
Samsung and Google have already shown intelligent eyewear developed with eyewear brands Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. Apple is also rumoured to be working on smart glasses, though its plans remain unconfirmed. Meta keeps adding features to its glasses as well, with a recent Ray-Ban Meta update adding walking navigation and spatial audio.
Nothing’s usual playbook is to undercut incumbents on price while keeping the design clean. If the camera model lands in India with ChatGPT and translation on board, it could find takers among users who want AI features without paying premium brand pricing. Battery life will be the key number to watch, since audio glasses drain faster when calls and voice assistant queries run all day.
