## Meta's new AI handheld device
The Muse Charm is a handheld gadget housing Meta's Muse AI agent, teased at Meta Connect on Wednesday. It will launch later this year.
## Built-in 5G means no Wi-Fi needed
The Charm includes a built-in 5G modem so you can interact with Muse AI without connecting to Wi-Fi. You won't need a separate internet connection.
## Charms can recognize each other
The Muse Charm can recognize and interact with other nearby Charms when it launches. Multiple devices can communicate with each other directly.
## Two-inch screen and fingerprint sensor
The Charm features a two-inch OLED touchscreen, a new operating system, and a fingerprint sensor to start interacting with Muse AI. It also has cameras for photos and visual context.
## Audio, video, and USB-C charging
The Charm includes built-in speakers, microphones, and a USB-C charging port. It supports music and video playback and can be set up through Meta's Muse app on iOS or Android.
## Holiday launch, smartwatch pricing
Zuckerberg said Meta plans to launch the Charm in time for the holidays in December. Sources tell Bloomberg it will likely cost as much as a smartwatch, though carrier fees for 5G access haven't been determined.
