Not sure if all of those can be called "specs", really.

They're very much on the soft side of things, instead of giving voltage and capactity (in Ah) of the battery, all you get is a very approximate runtime.

The "spec" for the display, which arguably is the core piece of tech in a pair of electronic glasses doesn't even use the word "pixel".

It's interesting that the recommended format for photos is 640x360, on a device that is said to be 720p capable. Of course, 720 / 2 is 360, which is ... weird.
