Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses launch in India: price, AI features, specs, and availability

New Delhi: Meta is bringing its AI-powered Ray-Ban smart glasses to India, and the official sale begins on May 19. The glasses, first introduced globally in 2023, are priced at ₹29,990 in India and are now available for pre-order on the Ray-Ban website. They will also be sold through Ray-Ban stores across the country.

The company says it has already shipped 2 million pairs globally. With the launch in India, Meta is now pushing its wearable AI strategy into one of the world’s fastest-growing tech markets. While the AI in the glasses currently supports only English, French, Italian, and Spanish, there’s no official word on when Indian language support will arrive.

Features and hardware in Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses

The Ray-Ban Meta glasses come with a 12MP ultra-wide camera that can take photos and shoot videos at 1440 x 1920 resolution at 30fps. They include a five-mic system for better audio capture and run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chipset. Battery life clocks in at around 4 hours, and the glasses come with a charging case that provides up to 8 full charges on the go.

Other key specs include:

• Storage: 32GB
• Weight: 48.6g, 50.8g, or 49.2g depending on the variant
• Water resistance: IPX4 rating
• Speakers: Open-ear speakers with directional audio for calls and music

What can you do with Meta AI on your face?

These aren’t just glasses with speakers. Meta AI adds a layer of interactivity. By saying “Hey Meta,” users can ask for translations, get real-time information, scan QR codes, find out the name of a song, or even ask for recipes based on what’s in their fridge.

The glasses can also livestream to Facebook and Instagram. Users can take calls, switch between their phone and glasses camera during video calls, and control everything with either voice commands or a touchpad on the frame.

Not just tech, but fashion too

Meta and Ray-Ban have kept the classic Wayfarer design but added a bunch of tech under the hood. So if you’re someone who doesn’t want to look like you’re wearing a gadget on your face, these might fit your vibe. The frame blends into casual looks, while quietly packing in AI-powered features.

The glasses pair with the Meta View app for managing settings, syncing content, and taking guided tours of features. You can also use the app to apply effects or share photos with friends.
