Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 2024 Skyler still worth buying over the 2025 Enhanced Edition?
It's becoming outdated. While it introduced the fashion-forward Cat-eye silhouette, it runs on the older power profile, meaning you only get 4 hours of battery life. It also only supports static 'Look and Ask' AI, rather than the continuous live-video AI found on the newer 2025 models.
