## What will it have?

- **Will I need a subscription?** No. A subscription is offered but optional, and the hardware works fully without one. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-i-need-a-subscription))
- **Will it still handle a shower or a swim?** No. It is splash resistant, so rain and sweat are fine. The shower and the pool are not, and no depth is rated. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-it-still-handle-a-shower-or-a-swim))
- **Will it work with my phone?** Yes, with an iPhone or an Android phone, over a Bluetooth Low Energy bridge. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-it-work-with-my-phone))
- **Will it be lighter?** Yes. It weighs 46.6g, under Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2's 50g, and it carries a display where those carry a camera. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-it-be-lighter))
- **Will I get prescription lenses?** Yes, on the Standard Edition. Prescription lenses add $280, in single vision only, from -6.00D to 0.00D sphere and -2.00D to 0.00D cylinder. The Custom Edition does not support them yet, and MemoMind says a prescription order cannot be cancelled, changed or returned once production begins. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-i-get-prescription-lenses))
- **Will it work without my phone?** No, it needs your phone.  ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-it-work-without-my-phone))
- **Will the camera be better?** There is no camera at all, and MemoMind sells that absence as the point. These are glasses you can wear into a meeting without anyone in the room having to think about being recorded. If you want a camera on your face, that is Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 at $379. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-the-camera-be-better))
- **Will it connect any differently?** It pairs with your phone over Bluetooth through the MemoMind app, on iOS 15 or later or Android, and MemoMind says most functions require a phone connection. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-it-connect-any-differently))
- **Will the screen be sharper or brighter?** The screen reaches 2000 nits at its brightest.  ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-the-screen-be-sharper-or-brighter))
- **Will it get a new chip?** It runs on Customized embedded SoC platform; exact model not publicly disclosed.  ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-it-get-a-new-chip))
- **Will it run a new assistant?** MemoMind says the experience is primarily powered by Google Gemini, with additional specialized models supporting specific features. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-it-run-a-new-assistant))
- **Will the field of view be wider?** It covers 25 degrees, which is a line or two of text in front of you rather than a screen you look around. That is normal for display glasses at this price, and Snap Specs reach 51 degrees for $2,195. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-will-the-field-of-view-be-wider))
- **How many microphones will it have?** It has three directional microphones, and they are what carry the note taking and the translation. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-how-many-microphones-will-it-have))
- **What kind of screen is it?** A binocular Micro-LED display with a waveguide in both lenses, 640 by 350 at up to 2000 nits. MemoMind says that brightness suits indoor and outdoor use, including under sunlight. The image is single-colour green. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/memomind-one/roadmap#can-what-kind-of-screen-is-it))
