Along with the launch of Huawei P30 and P30 Pro,the Chinese firm introduced a number of additional devices during its launch event on 26 March in Paris, France, and its pair of smart glasses was a surprise "one more thing" announcement.
These smart glasses are made in partnership with Korean fashion brand “Gentle Monsters”.

While 'smart' is in the name, don't expect anything on the level of Google Glass, as these glasses are simply equipped with a speaker and microphone fused with a Bluetooth headset.
Design
The idea of Huawei smart glassesis they're glasses first and smart second, which means they look and feel like an ordinary pair of glasses.
In fact, the front frame that holds the lenses is just like any other pair of glasses, all the technology found in the side arms.
There are no buttons, ports or visible sensors, which further states their 'ordinary pair of glasses' trait - and that's a good thing. Instead, you just tap the side of the glasses to answer calls or trigger Google Assistant (via a Bluetooth connection from your phone).

They have tried a dummy pair at the P30 launch event and they felt just like a regular pair of glasses.
With a built-in microphone and speakers, these glasses serve the purpose of a Bluetooth headset without making you look dorky.
It will be packed with a 2200 mAh battery with wireless charging which is pretty amazing considering everything will be housed in the temples of the glasses.
You'll get a charging case with the glasses allowing you to charge your eyewear, and the case itself can either be wireless charged or plugged in via a USB-C port.
The prices are not public yet but its release is expected in the month of July.
