Google has finally unveiled the specifications for its Internet-connected glasses.

We first saw the news over on 9to5Google.

With Google Glass, you'll be able to take 5MP photos and 720P videos. For the sake of comparison, the iPhone 5 can take 8MP photos and 1080P videos.

What's notable is that Google says Glass will be able to last all day on a single charge. But if you're using battery-intensive features like Google+ Hangouts or recording a lot of video, Glass may not last a full day.

Here's the full list of specs:

Fit

  • Adjustable nosepads and durable frame fits any face.

  • Extra nosepads in two sizes.
