Even though Google Glass seems like the most cutting-edge technology an early adopter can own, the actual system-on-a-chip that powers the spectacles is in fact two years old.
This surprising discovery was made by Android developer and new Glass owner Jay Lee, who dissected the new wearable computer specs this week.
Specs with Galaxy S2 specs
The OMAP 4430 chip and estimated 1GB RAM are joined by 16GB of flash memory and 5MP camera.
Lee also confirmed that the Google Glass runs Android 4.0.4.
To put the Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 into perspective, it's the same system-on-a-chip that runs the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Tab 2.
Since the Samsung Galaxy S4 just released, Google Glass' specs might be seen as a little dated.
However, Lee noted that "with innovative products like Glass, the experience is more important than the hardware specs."
We'll see what changes Google makes to the fashionable hardware before customers can get their hands on them in a "year-ish" time, which we're fairly confident is a given.
