After Meta and Samsung, it is Nothing’s turn: German leaker Roland Quandt of WinFuture posted on Bluesky yesterday that Carl Pei’s company is working on two very different pairs of smart glasses, one with a camera and AI, the other a simple audio pair. A leak, with no official confirmation and no images.

Why it matters

Meta’s glasses are sold officially in the UAE (we covered the prices here) and Nothing is in the Gulf through the big retailers, so any rival means better prices. The camera-free model is what sets Nothing apart: many people here refuse to wear a camera on their face in a majlis, and an audio pair solves that. Photochromic lenses also make sense for Gulf sun.

My take

The audio model is the smartest decision in this leak, and Meta itself caught up with the idea with Ray-Ban Meta Audio. ChatGPT over Gemini suggests Nothing is steering clear of Android XR and building its own experience, a gamble for a company that has launched only three mid-rangers this year. Treat all of it as a leak until Nothing speaks.
