A new generation of smart eyewear just landed in India. On December 2, the AI‑powered Ray‑Ban Meta Gen 2 Glasses officially became available to Indian buyers. These are the successors to the first‑generation Meta smart glasses now offering upgraded cameras, longer battery life, new colors, and improved AI features. The rollout marks a milestone for wearable tech in India.
As of now, there’s no official word from Meta or Ray‑Ban whether they will offer prescription lenses, polarized lenses, or “Transitions” lens options for the Indian market.
The Gen 2 glasses feature a 12‑megapixel camera that can record video up to 3K at 30 fps. Photo resolution stays at 3,024 × 4,032 pixels (same as Gen 1). Meta also promised future updates like slow motion and hyperlapse modes.
You now get up to 8 hours of continuous use per charge. The carrying case doubles as a power bank and can add another 48 hours of standby battery.
The glasses include a five‑microphone array optimized for noise reduction. There’s a feature called “Conversation Focus” — it amplifies voices of people you talk to, using open‑ear speakers, useful for video calls or noisy environments.
Visually and structurally, the Gen 2 retains the same frame design as the first generation, but the upgrades make it much more capable.
With better battery and video quality, these glasses can serve as wearable cameras or quick video tools — without needing a smartphone.
The new frames, colors, and styles suit more tastes than before.
For glanceable tasks — quick captures, on‑the-go video, or voice calling — these smart glasses may offer a hands‑free alternative to phones.
Because features like slow motion and hyperlapse are only promised for future updates, buyers should treat Gen 2 as a work‑in‑progress rather than a full replacement for cameras or phones.
