Meta and EssilorLuxottica have officially launched Meta Glasses, an entirely new line of AI-powered smart eyewear distinct from the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta lines already on the market. Available in 26 style combinations across three frame designs, Meta Glasses start at $299 (around ₱18,300) and went on sale immediately in 17 countries through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, and Sunglass Hut.
Key Takeaways
- Meta Glasses are a new product line from Meta + EssilorLuxottica, separate from Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta.
- 26 style combinations across three frames: Meta Adventurer, Meta Fury, and Meta Glasses by Kylie.
- Starting price: $299 (around ₱18,300), available now in 17 countries.
- Powered by Meta AI (Muse Spark) with a dedicated action button and a 12MP camera capable of 3K video at 30fps.
- Over 8 hours of battery life; foldable charging case adds 40 hours more.
- Supports prescription lenses via the Rx Lens Swap feature.
Three Distinct Frame Styles
Meta is launching with three frame families to cover a range of aesthetics:
- Meta Adventurer — A clean rectangular shape, available in Standard and Large sizes. The most versatile of the three, aimed at everyday wear.
- Meta Fury — A bold, expressive statement frame with a stronger silhouette.
- Meta Glasses by Kylie — A slim oval design created in collaboration with Kylie Jenner, her first foray into wearable technology.
Colorways span Classic Black, Classic Tortoise, Racing Green, Linen, Merlot, Mahogany, and Sandstone. Lens options include sun, Transitions, polarized, and clear — with prescription lens support through the Rx Lens Swap system built into the frame design.
AI Features and Camera Capabilities
Meta Glasses ship with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark, Meta's upgraded language model. The action button on the frame gives quick access to the AI assistant — hands-free, without reaching for a phone. This positions Meta Glasses as an ambient computing device: ask questions, get directions, or trigger photo capture without breaking stride.
On the camera side, the glasses carry a 12MP sensor capable of:
- Still photos at 3,024 × 4,032 pixels
- Video up to 3K resolution at 30fps
- Hands-free capture triggered by the action button or voice
Audio comes via open-ear speakers paired with a multi-mic array that includes wind noise reduction. Upcoming features include dynamic photo capture, pedestrian navigation for display-free frames, and live translation for 14 additional languages.
Battery and Everyday Use
The glasses deliver over 8 hours of battery life on a charge — enough for a full workday of on-and-off use. The foldable charging case adds 40 additional hours, making extended trips feasible without hunting for a cable.
Pricing, Availability, and the Bigger Picture
At launch, Meta Glasses are available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and other markets (17 countries total). Philippine availability has not been announced; given the limited local footprint of Ray-Ban Meta glasses, buyers in the Philippines may need to import or wait for a regional expansion.
The launch deepens Meta's smart glasses strategy considerably. The company already has Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta in the market, but the new Meta Glasses line expands into fresh frame silhouettes and a broader range of aesthetics — all at $299 (around ₱18,300), positioning it below some Ray-Ban Meta variants. At 26 style combinations on day one, this is a much broader opening lineup than any of Meta's previous glasses launches.
FAQ
How is Meta Glasses different from Ray-Ban Meta?
Meta Glasses is a new brand and frame family under the "Meta" name rather than the Ray-Ban sub-brand. The frames, silhouettes, and Kylie Jenner collaboration are unique to this line. Both share open-ear audio, Meta AI, and a camera, but the style direction and pricing tiers differ.
Are Meta Glasses available in the Philippines?
As of the June 23, 2026 launch, Meta Glasses are not officially available in the Philippines. They are sold in 17 countries across North America and Europe. No Philippine launch date has been announced.
Do Meta Glasses support prescription lenses?
Yes. The Rx Lens Swap feature is built into the frame design and supports prescription lenses across the Meta Glasses lineup.
