This is yet another example of how aiming at the right public is as important as a good publicity campaign. Snapchat did it just right, they made their glasses for the daily snapper, not to some geek that probably would never upload a video to Snapchat. This is what's killing some wearables, the focus companies give to their products.
This was honestly the best review of Spectacles I found here on RUclips. Thanks for creating such a thorough review. I will be getting mine very soon and I am excited for them.
The best parts of your videos are always the shots of Boston. You obviously like Charlestown. My commute used to take me past Sullivan Sq and seeing that Schrafft's building pop up now and again make me feel nostalgic, especially now living so far.
I dig the idea of you specifically having a pair of these. I think a lot of people wonder what it's like to be able to use and test cool tech in their everyday life. A bunch of little first person perspective videos of that on your Snapchat is a pretty good way to see what that's like. So keep using em if you can 👌🏻
you deserve more subscribers man! I'm happy that I've found you here because I missed you so much on pocketnow! you are the best! I'll make sure to share every video of you !
Reasons I won't buy the Snapchat Spectacles: 1) I don't use snapchat 2) They look stupid 3) They are way too expensive List any more reasons you won't buy it
MrMobile I have been following your videos since pocket now. Way to go in changing my mind about a product. Still would never buy it but before I thought it was extremely useless. Now I see actually that there was a market for them and also don't think they look as "girly"
The only thing with spectacles is that I can't wear them with glasses and I doubt I can change the lenses on them to fit a prescription. Sure, I could "just wear contacts", but what I loved about Google Glass was the ability to have custom glasses frames and custom eyeglass lenses. But this is just snapchat's way of testing the waters, I'm sure. The glasses are cool, just seem to be in the beta phase. Your video was great; I'd own a pair if it would suit my needs.
So it's basically your normal cheap sunglasses that people give out for free, except that it has a small camera feature with questionable quality that is connected to snapchat. Very innovative.
Yeah, a fun take on instant video and pictures.. I would never be seen dead wearing a pair of these out on the streets though. Give me a "sensible" offering and we'll be good to go. Something that obviously works on all platforms and with great image quality. I like 🤓
Hi, great videos man. What is your opinion about the radiation of smartphones and all that kind of devices? It's like...you're surrounded (us too) by too much of that stuff. Just wondering your position about that.
I understand why a lot of folks are concerned about it, but from what I understand there's a large body of very convincing evidence that we're in no danger ... and a very small body of less-solid evidence that we are. Then again, I haven't looked into this stuff for a bit ... and I'm no doctor. :) Suffice to say, I'm not too worried about it.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Thanks for your answer. Really appreciate you look at my comment. I asked because I've seen recently doctors and people of recognized institutions talking about the danger of this stuff. I'm also a passionate about technology and I'm just looking forward to being cautious about this. Blessings!
Did it accidentally once, but people reacted positively to the smoothing effect it had on my transition animations so I decided to keep it. Once I'm able to shoot in 4K60 (instead of 4K30) we'll see what happens.
Being a student, I probably wouldn't get these because of money even as novelty item, especially now that I know that they have really poor build quality (what's so sad is that that doesn't surprise me). But you have to admit, these things are so cool. Just the concept is incredibly exciting. Snapchat is fun, but it is awkward to use and there's nothing that can change that because that's just the way smartphones are. But this is such an amazing concept that I'm really excited about.
Hey Michael Fisher. I am currently using Snapchat on My HTC 10, (your review inspired my to consider getting it) and it seems like all the photos I take come out grainy and horrible, even in a well lit room. I don't know what to do, you didn't seem to have those problems on your phones. Is there a special trick I'm missing, or something, what do I do to be able to get high quality snaps?
in just a few years we went from "oh god not a camera attached to the face, you could be recording everything" to "huh, a camera attached to the face, can i have a go?"
Sorry, but personally I think these look ridiculous, even on the legend that is Mr Fisher ;) Taste is a personal thing though. Hopefully these are just a mini craze phase and then we don't hear about them again, especially coming from a company like Snapchat. Keep up the great videos though Sir Fisher! 👍
Thanks! I think they look ridiculous too, but I'm a guy who wears neon-colored socks on purpose to go through airport security. A little ridiculous never hurt anyone.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Hehe, I must confess to having a few funky pairs of socks myself! Don't go crazy with these Specs and use up all your energy. We're going to need you fresh for next month at MWC to give us the juicy info on the new phones 😁 Are you attending MWC? Would be good to hear your thoughts next month on the new phones, especially Nokia's offerings.
Pause Films what i like is the instant on video. give me a little handheld gizmo i can hang around my neck that does the same thing but gets me 30s clips and i would be very interested. the biggest issue is we have nothing for spontaneous video. the "moment" is always gone by the time one can get the camera opened and recording.
Nerys I completely agree. I've missed so many good videos because I have to unlock my phone, open the app then record. Well said sir. Yea I would take your suggestion also. SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A JOB AT SNAPCHAT!
So is full screen video still supported in SnapChat with these? I was thinking of grabbing a pair (because they are so cheap) and did not know that you cant do 16:9 outside of snap. Im fine with that as long as I can do the rotate video thing inside of snapchat in 2018. Is this still a thing or do you only get circular video?

Yet, Snapchat still hasn't optimize their Android app properly.
Yup. Annoying as hell.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Someone should make a Snapchat client app that works better on Android.
Shellyman 2.0 They don't allow that. They take down any other client and issue an account lock.
Yep. They've got it pretty well locked down. Also the reason Windows Mobile can't have a client.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Damn it! Wow, Snapchat developers are lazy.
I used to have a pair of sunglasses that looked the same.
I was 4.
Nice! Time for another pair!
This is yet another example of how aiming at the right public is as important as a good publicity campaign.

He is so much fun to watch. I love his commentary and sarcasm.
never used snapchat
You're so cool
I have used it...am I cool...also I am 44
I'm still not entirely sure what it really is lol.
Fishkeeper63 You must be the coolest kid around
Extremely...
This was honestly the best review of Spectacles I found here on RUclips. Thanks for creating such a thorough review. I will be getting mine very soon and I am excited for them.
You are one of those people who inspire me to make tech videos !!
Thanks! Happy to hear it!
Totally not worthy but in carnival, maybe.
another top quality review, absolutely love the fresh look and perspective to it
Nice to see that you and pocketnow crew are still good friends.
♩"I wear my sunglasses at night"♩
So I can so I can.
"...Church of the Dancing Ghost..."
Hilarious!
This it's why I'm such a fan.

The Kardashians are gonna Love this
They look like some cheap glasses for kids to play around
Hahahaha The Video ended at 1:47 for me
I dig the idea of you specifically having a pair of these. I think a lot of people wonder what it's like to be able to use and test cool tech in their everyday life. A bunch of little first person perspective videos of that on your Snapchat is a pretty good way to see what that's like. So keep using em if you can 👌🏻
Don't worry: the more people make fun of them, the more often I'll use 'em. :)
Glad to see you and Jaime are keeping up!
you deserve more subscribers man! I'm happy that I've found you here because I missed you so much on pocketnow! you are the best! I'll make sure to share every video of you !
Reasons I won't buy the Snapchat Spectacles:
1) I don't use snapchat
2) They look stupid
3) They are way too expensive
List any more reasons you won't buy it
Darkfire Blast 5) I got better things to waste money on
Darkfire Blast 130 bucks coulda went to a huge hard drive
8)better wait for microsoft hololens
This video felt a lot more absorbing than most tech reviews - nice work!
Much appreciated!
I like the idea but if only it wasn't just 10 seconds and attached to Snapchat. Can you download the videos to the camera roll?
MrMobile I have been following your videos since pocket now. Way to go in changing my mind about a product. Still would never buy it but before I thought it was extremely useless. Now I see actually that there was a market for them and also don't think they look as "girly"
This is quite funny and innovative too.
Yes, the wearables are having the future.
LOVE the way you present your videos man!
this was my favorite review of the specticales man good job!
Best tech youtuber here! Cheers Michael!
You know what else is worth the wait? Your amazing videos MrMobile :) :D
Great video as usual. I actually like them, just wish they were cheaper and more accessible.
I probably never use Snapchat in my entire life....yet I belong to Mr. mobile fan club...I need to watch this!!!
"I wear my sunglasses at night ....." thanks, got the song stuck in my head.....
Gotta say i have seen many great thumbnails but not as hot fire as yours 🔥🔥🔥
The only thing with spectacles is that I can't wear them with glasses and I doubt I can change the lenses on them to fit a prescription.

u make very good videos michael here in KSA we adore snapshot and adore u for sure keep it bro
Snapchat amazes me, everything they do has so much personality.
I still don't love using the app and think the spectacles are ugly af.
you should check out the vue smartglasses on kickstarter.. those look cool. if you could get your hands on them a review would be really awesome
Excellent video Michael, I love my Spectacles!
Maybe there would be a Dual camera version in the future so they can capture 3D
man im a huge fan of your video scripts ! how can you get the inspiration for such a unique expressions ! do you have some useful books to suggest ?
Glad to see a Pebble in the mix!
Killer vid! I'm going to get a pair on ebay to experience the future
Another great review thanks mr mobile.
I paid 280 for mine and regretted it the next day...
Great review. Thanks for sharing!
Loved the 80's reference...
So it's basically your normal cheap sunglasses that people give out for free, except that it has a small camera feature with questionable quality that is connected to snapchat. Very innovative.
I'm not a Snapchatter but this is a great review and video!!
Weather it will be a hit or, miss, that can be known in future....but, it shows the potential & convenience of tech on spectacles....like for AR....
This has been a solid video
Some cool tech videos...I like your channel and i just subbed you!. :)
Thanks! Welcome aboard!
Yeah, a fun take on instant video and pictures.. I would never be seen dead wearing a pair of these out on the streets though. Give me a "sensible" offering and we'll be good to go. Something that obviously works on all platforms and with great image quality. I like 🤓
Excellent take on a less stellar gadget. Bravo!
That little free library stood out more than the glasses.
We've got lots of them around Boston. I like it here.
Dude. It's pink or nothing!
love your reviews!

The spectacles cost about $400 in Kuwait
Al Waleed Hamze Let me guess...In Al-Ghanim?
Perhaps somebody should release another version with cameras on the back and projection screen on the sunnies so you see what's behind you
I have to ask, is everything blue while you wear them?
What made you go up to 60fps in your videos? Just curious!
Did it accidentally once, but people reacted positively to the smoothing effect it had on my transition animations so I decided to keep it. Once I'm able to shoot in 4K60 (instead of 4K30) we'll see what happens.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Fair enough! Thinking of the GH5 for 4K 60fps? Oh and awesome video as per usual my man!

Nerver used Snapchat... I am the only one, rigzt?
Gravity No you are not
Gravity nope
No, you aren't.
you look like tony stark in those snaps from people looking at you while you explain
Nice video! By the way, how would you rate the walli wallet? Thanks
Thanks. And, poorly: ruclips.net/video/cefgZgzv4EQ/видео.html
Oh, I've missed that video...
Thanks, keep up the great work! Cheers
Hey Mr.Mobile!Can you say hi :) You are my favorite tech youtuber
Hi!
OOOOMG THANKS!
Great review
i hate snapchat
but still enjoyed this video 😀👌
Mr. Mobile what's that phone gimbal?
Do you use like beauty face while recording yourself? Because your face looks way too smooth than I actually is irl
can I be the best comment please for once? :(
whoaaaa for the first time ever getting noticed by you! Keep making great tech video and the way you speak is the most unique in the channel :D
I would fall in love with the future and laugh my ass off if the future actually will be goofy :D
they look so similar to the yellow Mr Happy sunglasses I had in 1982 my mum got me to stop me scratching my so heyfeverish eyes 😎
I have Snapchat installed for two people and one of them is my Captain.
Hey Michael Fisher. I am currently using Snapchat on My HTC 10, (your review inspired my to consider getting it) and it seems like all the photos I take come out grainy and horrible, even in a well lit room. I don't know what to do, you didn't seem to have those problems on your phones. Is there a special trick I'm missing, or something, what do I do to be able to get high quality snaps?
They look crazy and funky.
in just a few years we went from "oh god not a camera attached to the face, you could be recording everything" to "huh, a camera attached to the face, can i have a go?"
its 2017 and i still don't use snapchat
what was the wallet tech that was shown towards the end of the video? looks like it has a chip of some kind in it connecting to the phone...
Sorry, but personally I think these look ridiculous, even on the legend that is Mr Fisher ;) Taste is a personal thing though. Hopefully these are just a mini craze phase and then we don't hear about them again, especially coming from a company like Snapchat. Keep up the great videos though Sir Fisher! 👍
Thanks! I think they look ridiculous too, but I'm a guy who wears neon-colored socks on purpose to go through airport security. A little ridiculous never hurt anyone.

Would be good to hear your thoughts next month on the new phones, especially Nokia's offerings.
I'll be there!
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Good to hear, thanks 👍
They're my new bodycam!!
Nokia 6 King is back!
This is interesting, but I don't think I want them.
i have them, they’re AWESOME
they get dusty rlly quick but u blow on em and its fine
they are cool, honestly
I would definitely buy it if you could record to camera without a snapchat account.
I wonder if you could put prescription lenses in that thing lol
3:00 my favorite song is here
3:32 The reunion is real!
You didn't happen to walk out of CES with a new Razer laptop did you?
NOTHING!
I mean ... no! I mean ... what? No. No.
:whistles casually:
Your secret is safe with me.
why did he include that chromebook in the wearables shot
waste product.
snap needs to bring out a photochromatic lens
What you know about Corey Hart youngster?
love your videos but how come you never talk on camera?
And now you're rolling a ten-second snap.
lol
130 dollars to look like a clown? haha! What a joke
and yet these are considered "cool" while Google Glass was tech elitist crap....
Cenot4ph 130 is pretty cheap since people spend 200$ for ray bands. It has a camera that's 1080P.
Pause Films what i like is the instant on video. give me a little handheld gizmo i can hang around my neck that does the same thing but gets me 30s clips and i would be very interested. the biggest issue is we have nothing for spontaneous video. the "moment" is always gone by the time one can get the camera opened and recording.
Nerys I completely agree. I've missed so many good videos because I have to unlock my phone, open the app then record. Well said sir. Yea I would take your suggestion also. SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A JOB AT SNAPCHAT!
Cenot4ph I got mine for free
So is full screen video still supported in SnapChat with these? I was thinking of grabbing a pair (because they are so cheap) and did not know that you cant do 16:9 outside of snap. Im fine with that as long as I can do the rotate video thing inside of snapchat in 2018. Is this still a thing or do you only get circular video?
Yup, can confirm they still support full screen video. You might want to get the Spectacles 2 or 3 in the future year of 2023 though.
This is a neat and fun toy :)
Spectacles are proof that one day we will live in a social media based cyber punk dystopia. Batman Begins meets The Social Network.
is it just me or did Fisher in the recordings of people testing the spectacles oddly sound like Tony Stark
will it come to Asia i.e India
