With the influx of people receiving their Google Glass Explorer Edition glasses Google decided to release some of the specs behind their newest tech. Among the 5MP camera and “all day battery on normal use” we saw 12GB of usable memory. What was missing was information about the CPU and the RAM the device was packing. However thanks to tinkerers Jay Lee and Liam McLoughlin we have those now. They were able to use USB debugging and ADB to find the following:
- Android 4.0.4 – Ice Cream Sandwich
- OMAP 4430 CPU – Dual Core
- 1GB Ram (682mb not used by hardware)
While I'm sure the specs will be updated for the retail release of the device these specs aren't bad. There isn't an exact measurement on just how fast the processor is though. For those of you that are more technical you're more than welcome to wade through the details here. Either way it's enough to go on until we get official word from Mountain View. Hit the source link to take part in the discussion about all this information. Otherwise keep it locked here as we'll update you when we find out more.

The 4430 was the same omap in the bionic and RAZR, not a bad chip, should be plenty fast enough for glass. It was the generation before the omap in the G-Nex which most of us should know can hold it’s own.
Agreed. Considering that they could pack it into such a tiny package is pretty amazing.
Seriously! The stupid ad you have on this site makes me never want to return to this site. I clicked on it twice on accident because it jumps around the screen…good to know about the specs though. See how a crappy ad makes people not even care about the article because they spend 75% of the time running away from a bad decision that totally turns them off to your site? Glad I could give you some revenue.
