Save launches its first connected glasses at 115 euros

Save, a French company best known for device repair and refurbished tech, has unveiled its first pair of connected glasses.

Connected glasses are gaining momentum, and the biggest names in technology are all developing their own versions - but smaller players are entering the category too. Save is one of them, and it is clearly banking on an aggressive price point to win people over.

Save moves from repairs into connected glasses

As one of France’s leading specialists in repairing tech products and selling refurbished devices, Save already markets a range of accessories under its own brand. With this new product, however, the company is stepping further into mainstream consumer tech. These connected glasses - which do not yet have an official name - aim to deliver an experience comparable to premium models such as Meta’s, while coming in at a far more accessible price.

Connected glasses built around AI

Save is introducing a 43 gram pair of glasses with a clean, understated look, available in black or white. Like competing products, they include a camera built into the frame: an 8 megapixel sensor that can record in 1080p.

There is no display embedded in the lenses. Instead, the focus is on an integrated AI assistant that can be triggered by voice. It is designed to handle tasks such as instant translation and answering user queries.

Battery life and connectivity

On the power side, the battery is rated at 260 mAh, with Save promising up to a full day of use. Beyond that, the feature set is positioned as comprehensive, including Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and a companion app.

A low price against Meta Glasses

On paper, Save’s connected glasses tick the usual boxes for this product format. Even so, hands-on testing will be needed to judge what they can truly deliver in real-world use.

Save has also shared relatively few technical details so far. For instance, it has not provided additional information about the built-in AI. Likewise, it remains unclear who actually manufactures the device.

What does stand out is the price. Already available to buy in Save shops, the glasses are set at 115 euros. For comparison, the newer Meta Glasses - positioned as more affordable - sell for just over 300 euros.

A growing market, with privacy still in question

These Save glasses are not meant to take on Meta directly on its own turf; the aim is to offer a cheaper alternative. The more notable point is that connected glasses are no longer the preserve of only two or three huge multinational tech firms. Other brands can now make a play here too, as previously seen with Krys.

The market is still in its early stages, but it is expected to attract heavyweight entrants soon, including Samsung, Amazon and Apple, all of which are said to be working on their own alternatives. The open question is how society will adapt as these products spread - particularly given the serious concerns they raise around privacy protection.
