Meta Platforms says the new Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) comes with upgrades in battery life, video capture, and smart AI tools. The latest generation keeps the iconic Ray-Ban style while delivering powerful new technology for everyday wear.

Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses have quickly become the world’s #1 selling AI eyewear, according to IDC report.
Here are the standout features consumers need to know.
- All-Day Power With Faster Charging
Gen 2 doubles the battery life of the first model, lasting up to eight hours of typical use. The charging case provides 48 additional hours on the go, and a quick 20-minute charge restores 50 percent power, perfect for music festivals, city walks, or daylong adventures.
- Ultra-Sharp 3K Video Capture
The new 3K Ultra HD camera delivers smoother, sharper videos with ultrawide HDR and up to 60 fps, more than doubling the pixels of Gen 1. Upcoming updates add hyperlapse and slow-motion modes for creative, hands-free filming.
- Smarter Meta AI Features
A soon-to-launch Conversation Focus feature uses open-ear speakers to isolate the voice of the person you’re speaking with, reducing background noise in busy places like cafes or parks.
- Expanded Live Translation
Live translation now supports six languages, including new additions German and Portuguese. Conversations work even in airplane mode once language packs are downloaded.
- Wider Global Availability
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 is now sold in Switzerland and the Netherlands, with Brazil coming soon and more regions to follow, ensuring easier access for global consumers.
- Stylish New Frame Options
Choose from iconic Wayfarer, modern Skyler, or popular Headliner frames, plus three limited-edition seasonal colors to match any outfit or mood.
