Meta and Ray-Ban have launched the second generation of their AI-powered smart glasses in India. The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 glasses are now available through Ray-Ban India and authorized retailers, with prices starting at ₹39,900 ($444) and going up to ₹45,700 ($508) depending on the frame and lens combination.
Specifications
The new model features a 12MP ultra-wide camera capable of recording 3K Ultra HD video for up to three minutes. Meta has improved image quality with ultrawide HDR and plans to roll out new camera modes like slow motion and hyperlapse through future software updates.
Meta has also upgraded the audio system. The Gen 2 glasses use a five-micro speaker setup that offers louder sound, deeper bass, and better directional audio. The touchpad and capture button support tap-based controls for music playback, photo capture, and messaging.
Battery life now lasts up to 8 hours on a single charge. The included charging case provides an additional 48 hours of power. Fast charging allows users to reach 50% charge in just 20 minutes. Meta says the glasses also support up to 5.4 hours of voice calls and 5 hours of music playback.
The Meta AI assistant now supports full Hindi voice functionality, which users can initiate by saying “Hey Meta.” This allows the assistant to handle commands for actions like snapping photos, dispatching messages, and regulating music. The assistant can now speak using Deepika Padukone’s AI-generated voice, which joins Meta’s global lineup of celebrity voices.
Meta is also set to introduce support for UPI Lite payments in India. This feature will allow users to scan QR codes using the glasses and finalize transactions through WhatsApp-linked bank accounts.
The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 collection includes updated versions of the Wayfarer, Headliner, and Skyler styles. Seasonal colors such as Shiny Cosmic Blue and Mystic Violet are also available.
