Bloomberg reports Meta's Muse Charm handheld will recognize and interact with other nearby Charms when it launches later this year. The device runs Meta's Muse AI agent, includes a built-in 5G modem so it does not need Wi-Fi, and adds a two-inch OLED touchscreen, fingerprint sensor, cameras, speakers, microphones, and USB-C charging. Setup is through the Muse app on iOS or Android. Mark Zuckerberg said Meta aims to ship it for the December holidays; pricing is unconfirmed, though sources expect a smartwatch-like price and carrier 5G fees are still unset.

Meta’s handheld AI gadget, called the Muse Charm, will be able to recognize and interact with other nearby Charms when it launches later this year. That’s according to a report from Bloomberg, which includes more details about the device that the company teased during its Meta Connect keynote on Wednesday.
The Muse Charm houses the company’s buzzy Muse AI agent and comes with a built-in 5G modem, meaning you won’t need to connect to Wi-Fi to interact with the AI agent, according to Bloomberg. It will come with a two-inch OLED touchscreen, a new operating system, and a fingerprint sensor you can use to start interacting with Muse AI.
The Charm will also feature cameras designed for taking photos and videos, as well as for providing Muse with visual information about its surrounding environment, Bloomberg reports. It will have built-in speakers, microphones, and a USB-C charging port as well, while offering music and video playback, according to Bloomberg. You’ll also be able to set up the device through Meta’s Muse app on iOS or Android.
Zuckerberg says Meta plans to launch the device “in time for the holidays in December,” but didn’t confirm any pricing information. Sources tell Bloomberg that the Charm will likely cost as much as a smartwatch, though the company still hasn’t determined mobile carrier fees for 5G access.
