Solos launches lighter camera-free AirGo A6 smart glasses

Solos added a camera-free AirGo A6 to its smart glasses line, cutting the weight to about 19 grams and making privacy a central selling point. The new model drops camera hardware entirely, a change that helps it land far below last year’s AirGo A5, which weighed 36 to 40 grams depending on frame style.

The A6 pushes Solos further into an argument that smart glasses may need to become less visually disruptive before they can feel normal enough for all-day use. Rather than chase visual AI features, the company is positioning the A6 as an audio-first wearable built around voice interaction, hands-free control and everyday AI tasks. That includes the same kinds of functions Solos has emphasized across the line, such as translation, reminders and voice-based access to assistant tools.

The move also sharpens the split inside the AirGo family. In June 2025, Solos launched the AirGo A5 alongside the AirGo V2, presenting the A5 as an audio-focused model for hands-free access to everyday AI and the V2 as its more advanced visual AI glasses. The V2 came with a 16MP camera and live video capabilities, making the contrast between the two lines unusually clear: one is built to see, the other to stay out of the way.

That divide matters because Solos is not treating the A6 as a replacement for its existing glasses. The AirGo A5 remains listed as available on the company’s current site materials, which suggests the A6 is an addition to a broader lineup rather than a wholesale shift. Solos has also said its AirGo app works with multimodal AI models including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, tying the glasses into a wider software stack that supports voice, text and image interactions.

The company has been building that ecosystem with outside partners as well. In late 2025, Solos announced a partnership with Deutsche Telekom to expand AI services, data and security on the AirGo platform. For a category that still struggles to balance usefulness, comfort and social acceptability, the A6 is Solos’ clearest attempt yet to argue that the path to mainstream adoption runs through lighter frames, fewer cameras and less friction in public.
