The company noted that it does not plan to charge users a subscription fee for using the AI. Instead, a one-time fee of $600 and $700 will be offered for the Wi-Fi (16GB) and Wi-Fi + LTE (32GB) models, respectively.
The first variant is expected to require a smartphone to operate, and its runtime on a single charge is expected to be 16 hours. The second model will be able to function on its own, but only 1.5 hours when using the cellular network. Both devices are already available for pre-order. Retail sales are expected to start in winter.
In the future, the manufacturer will also open up access to a ‘growing ecosystem of interface-less voice apps.’
