New wearable could be an AR offering
Bansal revealed the development of Lenskart's new smart eyewear during a discussion with Savi Soin, Senior Vice President and President of Qualcomm India. While details are still scarce, this collaboration with Qualcomm suggests that the new device could be an augmented reality (AR) offering or a simple pair of artificial intelligence (AI) smart glasses like Ray-Ban Meta.

Possible chipsets for the upcoming device
If the new device turns out to be an AR offering, it could be powered by the Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 SoC. However, if Lenskart opts for a premium AR experience, it might even use the latest Snapdragon AR2 Gen 1 chipset. If it's a simple pair of AI glasses, it may even use the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip.

The upcoming smart glasses will be Lenskart's second offering in this space. The first one, called Lenskart Phonic, was launched in January this year, at a price of ₹4,000.

It promised up to seven hours of playtime on a single charge and supported multi-tasking for a connected experience on the go.
