Important context	Designed for in-person audio; these wearable models do not capture phone-call audio directly. Recording endurance is not an estimate of continuous cloud AI usage. Offline recording does not imply offline transcription or summaries. Plan prices are current US annual list prices; other markets, taxes and promotions differ. Disabling Cloud Sync does not make transcription an on-device AI process. Provider-retention claims have not been independently audited here.	Manufacturer immediate cloud-audio deletion promise applies only when Cloud Storage is disabled. The 8GB and 64GB configurations must not be presented as interchangeable exact offers. January 2026 reviews without a web app predate the portal now advertised by the manufacturer.

Battery claims use different conditions and are not a controlled benchmark. “Not verified” is an evidence gap, not a missing feature. Prices are dated regional snapshots. Deposits, bundles and historical launch prices are labelled. Brightness measurement methods and battery workloads vary by manufacturer.
