Kwai’s new camera sunglasses look like Snap Spectacles

Which only makes it all the weirder that it two years later, short video app Kuaishou (known as Kwai overseas) launched a pair of camera glasses… and they look suspiciously like the Snap Spectacles.

Same as the Spectacles, the Kwai glasses let users take photos and videos by tapping on the frame. And just as you can only sync your Spectacles with Snapchat, the Kwai glasses only export content to the Kwai app.

Both also have their cameras on the same side of the frame, with indicator lights on the opposite side. But there are a few differences.

In China, Kwai is one of the most popular apps for short video sharing and live streaming, which is why their glasses support live streaming -- but only at the low, low resolution of 360p. And unlike Spectacles, which only let you shoot a circular format, users can shoot in portrait mode with the Kwai glasses.
