Snap says its Specs glasses last about four hours on a charge.

The included charging case holds four more full charges, bringing the total to about 20 hours. That is four hours at a time, not 20 hours of nonstop use.

Battery life without a phone

True-AR and passthrough devices only. The auto-generated same-category survey mostly hit puck-powered or USB-C-tethered glasses with no comparable runtime figure, so this is hand-picked instead.

Ray-Ban Display
6 hrs (+24h case)
Snap Specs
4 hrs (20 hrs w/ case)
Apple Vision Pro
~2.5 hrs (external battery)

Xreal Aura and Viture Luma Ultra excluded: both are puck/USB-C powered with no standalone-hours figure to compare. Vision Pro included per operator request despite being a different form factor (headset, not glasses) — it's the other real passthrough-AR reference point.
