Meta announced the Ray-Ban Display smart glasses featuring an in-lens full-color display at the Meta Connect 2025 event. The right lens houses a 600 × 600-pixel display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a 20-degree field of view, and up to 5,000 nits of brightness. For static content like images or videos, the panel refreshes at 30Hz.
The glasses support text messages, video calls via WhatsApp and Messenger, turn-by-turn navigation, camera viewfinder functions, live captions, real-time translations, Spotify display, and Meta AI responses. Since they are lighter and thinner than Meta’s previous Orion smart glasses, these new smart glasses are also easier to wear.
Meta also introduced the Meta Neural Band, an sEMG wristband that allows gesture-based control. It enables all kinds of hand gestures to easily navigate around the UI, such as twisting and pinching for volume control, and you can even write individual letters on your leg while sitting for text input.
The glasses have an IPX7 rating and offer up to 18 hours of battery life.
The Ray-Ban Display glasses include a 12MP ultra-wide camera capable of 3K video at 30fps with 3x digital zoom, two open-ear speakers, and six microphones. They have 32GB internal storage, 2GB RAM, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and support prescription lenses with an Rx range from -4.00 to +4.00.
The glasses weigh 69g, have an IPX4 rating, and offer up to six hours of mixed-use battery life, with the charging case providing up to 24 hours. They are priced at $799 in the US and come in Black or Sand, with availability starting September 30, 2025.
Meta also unveiled the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 smart glasses, which now support 3K video recording at up to 60fps, with battery life extended to eight hours on a full charge. The glasses can be charged to 50% in 20 minutes, and the charging case provides up to 48 additional hours.
The Gen 2 glasses will receive software updates introducing hyperlapse, slow-motion recording, and Conversation Focus, which isolates the voice of the person being spoken to while minimizing background noise.
The Gen 2 glasses are available in Wayfarer, Skyler, and Headliner designs, priced at $379 in the US.
