The Glass Enterprise Edition 2 doesn’t stray away from its predecessor’s design. It features a spectacle-like frame, hence the name and a heads up display with a camera on the front. The wearable runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1 platform. It is claimed to feature a significantly powerful CPU over the original Glass. The chipset also has a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine, which enables power savings, better performance and support for advanced machine learning. The Glass Enterprise Edition 2 also boasts of improved camera performance and quality, which will reportedly help in shooting first-person video streaming.

When the first Google Glass was released, it was marketed as a commercial Augmented Reality (AR) headset. But due to complaints regarding the privacy of the users, it was later reinvented for surgeons, factory workers and people working in enterprises. The company has claimed in its blog post that many enterprises have had a profitable outcome since they started using the Glass Enterprise Edition. And the second generation will only see the number going upwards. The Glass Enterprise Edition 2 has been launched at a price of US$ 999 (Rs. 69,700) and will not be available commercially.

Google Glass 2 Enterprise Edition Leaked, May Launch Soon

Google Glass launched back in 2012 with a lot of promises. The tech that the smart glasses offered was ahead of its time but didn’t connect well with the audience. The Google Glass was a flop in the consumer market. Google then tuned the Glasses into an Enterprise model, where it found decent success. These Glasses were meant for better focus and faster completion of tasks in the workers of Enterprises. Looks like Google is all set to release the next iteration of the Glasses. Named the Google Glass 2 Enterprise Edition, these could make their way to the market soon.

This information leaked includes complete certification, prototype images, and benchmark score to prove the product is very real. The Glass 2 Enterprise Edition might make their way to the markets in the coming months.

Google Glass 2 Enterprise Edition

The Google Glass 2 Enterprise Edition was recently certified by the National Radio Research Agency(NRRA) of South Korea. This too confirms the existence of the device. The name of the device is mentioned as a “Certain small-output wireless device”. This description fits into what we know about the device.

The Geekbench scores of the Glass 2 were leaked in November last year. This listing also provides us with more details about the device. According to the Geekbench listing, The Glass 2 will be powered by a Snapdragon 710 SoC with 3GB of RAM. The scores are lower than how the SoC generally performs. That may be due to the underclocked processor. The Glass 2 is listed as running on Android 8.1 Oreo. That may change when it releases as Android 9 Pie has been out for a while.

Google Glass Makes a Comeback With Updated Features

As reports previously suggest, Google Glass is making a comeback with a new pair of spectacles. The latest news, is that Google Glass 2 is actually being tested quietly in various workplaces. Reports also say, that the new version is already being used in “industries such as health care, manufacturing and energy.”

Sources from the Wall Street Journal suggest that the device features “a button-and-hinge system to attach it to different glasses”, instead of it being a full pair of spectacles. Therefore, Google is re-imagining their design to eliminate the previous hang ups of its device, such as style. In the process, we should perhaps soon get a ‘tech wear’ gadget that isn’t ugly or odd looking.

However, the above mentioned design seems to be created as a work tool, although reports suggest, that Google is also looking to make a new consumer version, eventually.

The Google Glass 2 is also reported to come with a better Intel processor, and a longer battery life that will be supported by a magnetically-attached, external battery pack. These improvements have been made due to common complaints about the Google Glass and its technological progress.

The new version is also said to feature a “longer, thinner” display, which can be “moved vertically as well as horizontally,” and will be better proofed against any damage and water.

However, it is yet to be seen whether the Google Glass 2 will surpass the Google Glass in its functionality, practicality and design. Do you think the Google Glass will work this time around? Let us know.
