Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Available Now With Up to 2x the Battery Life and Better Video Capture
The world’s best-selling AI glasses* just got even better. Announced today at Connect, Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) features up to 2x the battery life and 3K Ultra HD video capture, and it’s available right now** — pick up your pair at meta.com and Ray-Ban.com starting at $379 USD.
It’s been an exciting year for Ray-Ban Meta, with the release of multiple new styles, groundbreaking new features like live AI and live translation, and appearances at Paris Fashion Week and the Met Gala. Ray-Ban Meta glasses have become the #1 selling AI glasses in the world, with millions of units sold since launch. People love them — as a hands-free camera for life’s most important moments, a convenient AI assistant, a real-time translator, and an open-ear audio player that lets you stay engaged with your surroundings, all within iconic styles that are perfect for everyday wear.
With Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2), we’ve maintained all the features you love, but with some key under-the-hood improvements that will make them an even better companion.
First and foremost, we’ve enhanced the battery life. A fully-charged pair of Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses can last up to eight hours with typical use. That’s almost twice the battery life of Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 1), making them perfect for morning-to-night music festivals or your outdoor adventures.
We’ve also added 3K Ultra HD video capture to Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2), which is 2x more pixels than the previous generation. And later this fall, you’ll be able to capture sharper, smoother, and more vivid videos in ultrawide HDR and up to 60 frames per second. Hands-free filming is also getting upgraded with two new capture modes: hyperlapse and slow motion.
New capture settings are just one example of how Ray-Ban Meta glasses continue to get better and more capable over time with regular updates and new features. At Connect, we revealed conversation focus, a new feature coming soon to AI glasses. Conversation focus uses AI glasses’ open-ear speakers to amplify the voice of the person you’re talking to, helping distinguish them from ambient background noise in cafes and restaurants, parks, and other busy places. Conversation focus will soon be available as a software update on Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta HSTN glasses.
We’re also expanding live translation to support German and Portuguese starting today. Soon, you’ll be able to have back-and-forth conversations between six languages — even when you’re in airplane mode, so long as you’ve downloaded the language pack in advance.
