Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2: longer battery life, better camera and a wider colour range

The world’s best-selling smart glasses are back with a number of key improvements.

The partnership between EssilorLuxottica and Meta continues to set the pace for the future of wearables with greater autonomy, a more powerful camera and an amazing array of new colours. Designed to accompany you at any time of day, the new Ray-Ban Meta combines the brand’s timeless identity with an innovation that goes almost unnoticed but really makes a difference: up to 8 hours of battery life, 50% fast charging in just 20 minutes and a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle camera capable of recording in 3K Ultra HD at 60 fps. The result? Sharper, more immersive, share-ready quality content.

The experience is rounded off with creative modes such as hyperlapse and slow motion, as well as a five-microphone system and open speakers that deliver more natural audio. Soon, thanks to a software update, it will also be possible to activate conversation focus mode, which amplifies nearby voices and filters out ambient noise.

‘Ray-Ban is having an extraordinary year, reflecting both our heritage and our ambition. We have always gone beyond eyewear: we once helped the first aviators conquer the skies, and today we are taking another decisive step by merging iconic style with intelligence and connectivity,’ says Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, Chairman of Ray-Ban. ‘This is not about gadgets, but about making technology invisible, easy to wear and desirable, as only Ray-Ban can do. And looking to the future, we will continue to design not only eyewear, but the way people experience vision, style and connection,’ he adds.

This autumn, the collection expands with a colour palette that reinforces its vibrant aesthetic:

Wayfarer Cosmic Blue Shimmer with Transitions® Sapphire lenses.
Skyler Mystic Violet Shimmer with Transitions® Amethyst lenses.
Headliner Asteroid Grey Shimmer with Transitions® Emerald lenses.

In addition, the limited edition Transparent Matte Wayfarer is back, this time accompanied by Transitions® Gen S Ruby lenses, which combine cutting-edge technology and exclusivity.

The new Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 is now available at ray-ban.com, meta.com, and select EssilorLuxottica stores.
