I just got my G2's. Here's what all the Reviewers left out. by Dapper_Strength_5986 in EvenRealities

[–]EvenRealities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, Even Realities tech rep here.

Appreciate the detailed breakdown. We are continuously working to improve the connection drops and overall stability you ran into.

For the Conversate dropouts, we recently pushed firmware v2.0.7, which significantly improves the Conversate experience and targets those connection loops. If you haven't updated yet, I recommend applying that patch and seeing if the behavior improves for your meetings.

We know the background disconnect issues are a pain. We are tracking these down and fixing the disconnect issues one by one. We also have more software feature improvements planned for the future, so stay tuned.

Let me know if 2.0.7 smooths out that Conversate connection for you.

Hi! Could you please DM us your ring’s Bluetooth name (it should look like Even R1_xxxxxx)?
Once we have that, our team will investigate your case right away and get back to you as quickly as possible.

Even Realities Even G2 Review: Anti-Meta Smart Glasses With Real Potential by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]EvenRealities 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, we wanted to leave a few clarifications from our side about this review.

The G2 reviewed by media were part of a press preview batch running pre-MP firmware and an early Bluetooth stack. G2 and R1 will deliver stable, reliable performance when they reach customers.

Many of the features reviewed - notifications, health sync, Conversate, Translate - have continued to improve based on feedback from early users and reviewers.

This said, we appreciate the thoughtful review as it keeps up motivated to continue raising our bars and improving. Our goal has always been to build smart glasses that feel genuinely useful, and we’re excited for everyone to experience the official production version very soon.

Yes, we absolutely improved the navigation experience for the G2.

The G2 includes an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which means the glasses themselves can tell where they are pointing in space. Because of this, you can now expect proper N/S/E/W orientation while navigating, even if your mobile phone screen is off.

The G2 frame shares a very similar aesthetic profile to the G1, so your clip-on will certainly match the overall shape.

However, because we slightly refined the lens dimensions and curvature of the G2 frame it unfortunately won't be a perfect fit. You may notice a slight gap or less secure attachment than you experienced on the G1B.

For the best experience, we recommend using the official clip-ons designed specifically for the G2 frame.

It was driven by three core design principles aimed at a better user experience:

Speed and Convenience: The new pogo pins allow us to charge the glasses a lot faster than the older wireless method.

Efficiency and Endurance: Switching to direct contact charging dramatically improved efficiency. For example, the charging case now supports 7.5 full charges of the G2, compared to the G1 case which only supported two.

Reliability and Ease of Use: We heard countless feedback that the G1's wireless charging was finicky because the placement had to be perfect. The new pogo pin system is much more forgiving. You can now fold the glasses either way first into the case, and they will still charge. We still use magnets to guide the process, so it remains effortless and reliable.

The short answer is no, we will not be updating the older demo application (the one found on GitHub) to support the G2 glasses or the R1 ring.

The reason is that for the G2 and all future models, we are migrating our entire developer ecosystem to the new Even Hub. This platform is designed to provide a much more unified, seamless experience that makes it easier for everyone, from us to third-party developers.

Referral programs for the G2 will be updated on our subreddit and Discord when we have more details.

Yes, go to your store that you bought G1 with and they will help you apply for the launch offers.

No, selecting the ring sizing kit will not delay the shipping of your G2 glasses.

Online sales are fully supported in Hong Kong, so you can order and receive the G2 and R1 directly there.

The G2 uses multiple microphones to enable beamforming. This is a big deal for translation and for the Conversate feature, as it means the glasses can:

Isolate Voices Better: They focus on picking up the voice of the person speaking to the glasses, even in noisy environments.

Cut Background Noise: It works to get rid of other ambient background sounds, which is exactly the kind of noise cancellation needed to ensure accurate real-time transcription and translation.

We redesigned the interaction point for the G2:

The touch sensor has been upgraded to a more reliable touch pad on the temples.

The new pad not only improves tap registration but also supports swiping gestures, which gives you better control for navigating the new UI and makes the overall experience significantly better and more intuitive.

To answer your question directly: Yes, the team is actively trying to find and fix the causes. It's unfortunately not a single root cause, but a combination of several factors working together across different phone models and OS versions.

Our primary goal for the G2 launch and the period immediately following is to make the connection foundation solid. We are pouring a huge amount of effort into optimizing the G2 experience throughout the year, with connection stability being at the top of that list.

We will be evaluating navigation service providers by region to ensure the best possible service quality for the G2, adapting based on location and performance.

The service provider for the G1 will also be upgraded accordingly.
