Meta has launched two new smart glasses under the Ray-Ban brand, bringing exciting upgrades and new technology for Indian users. These are the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) and the Meta Ray-Ban Display AI glasses. Each model targets a different kind of user with unique features and prices.
Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Smart Glasses: Stylish and Practical
The Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) builds on the success of the first-generation smart glasses with familiar Ray-Ban styles like Wayfarer, Skyler, and Headliner. Priced at about ₹33,500, these glasses are ideal for everyday use. They are lightweight and come with improved battery life, allowing up to 8 hours of use plus 48 hours with the charging case.
The Gen 2 offers a 12MP camera that can shoot 3K Ultra HD videos at 60fps with HDR. It includes Meta’s AI assistant, live translation in six languages, voice amplification, and a “Find My Glasses” feature. Controls are via touch gestures and voice commands, making it simple to snap photos, listen to music, and get AI help on the go.
This model is perfect for users who want smart, stylish eyewear with useful AI functions without too much complexity. It supports regular, polarized transitions, and prescription lenses.
Meta Ray-Ban Display AI Glasses: The Next Level of AI Wearables
For tech enthusiasts and professionals looking for advanced features, the Meta Ray-Ban Display starts at around ₹70,500 (includes Meta Neural Band). This model has a bold, bigger Wayfarer-inspired frame and weighs about 69 grams. Its standout feature is the full-colour, high-resolution in-lens display that shows notifications, navigation, live captions, translations, and even video calls.
The glasses enable control via subtle hand gestures using the Meta Neural Band wrist device, which recognizes muscle movements for touch-free interactions. The battery lasts up to 6 hours, with an additional 30 hours from the charging case.
This version brings a near-AR experience with AI tools designed to boost productivity and communication, but at a higher price and availability limited mostly to select markets for now.
