Even Realities introduced the G2 smart glasses, a premium device with a neon‑style heads‑up display, priced at $599. The glasses lack cameras and speakers and are aimed at professionals who need productivity tools while traveling or attending meetings.

Smart glasses have been promoted as the next consumer interface, but most models depend on a smartphone for core functions. Even Realities’ previous G1 model offered a 1,000‑nit display and limited battery life, while the G2 adds a 1,200‑nit screen, a 75% larger display area, four microphones and a 60 Hz refresh rate.

The G2 weighs 35 grams and uses magnesium‑alloy frames with titanium temples, making it lightweight and comfortable for extended wear. The company claims up to two days of battery life per charge, with a case that can recharge the glasses seven times before needing external power.

The heads‑up display shows schedules, reminders and real‑time phone notifications. Users can tap the stem to wake the device and double‑tap to view a dashboard of meetings, stocks and news. A menu accessed by long‑pressing the temple provides translation, transcription, teleprompting, to‑do lists and navigation. Translation works by setting a target language; during a demonstration at the Global Connect Show in China, the feature rendered Chinese speech accurately for the user. Navigation shows turn‑by‑turn directions generated by the Even Realities app, but accuracy has been inconsistent. The built‑in Even AI assistant accepts voice commands via a wake word, though it often misinterprets requests and struggles with background noise.

Even also released the R1 companion ring, priced at $249, which adds health tracking and a touch surface for controlling the glasses. The ring’s functionality overlaps with the glasses’ stem controls, and reviewers have found limited scenarios where it adds value.

The G2 hardware is solid, but outside of use cases that require translation or teleprompting, its everyday utility remains unclear. Even plans to support third‑party applications and improve software to increase daily adoption. The product represents a step toward a camera‑free, productivity‑focused smart‑glass form factor.
