Meta and Ray-Ban have officially launched the second-generation “Gen 2” smart glasses in India in late 2025, bringing advanced wearable AI to Indian consumers. The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 is now available for purchase in India starting at ₹39,900
What Is Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 — Key Upgrades & Features
- Better battery life: The Gen 2 glasses offer up to 8 hours of typical use on a full charge — roughly double the battery life compared to the first-gen smart glasses.
- Enhanced video and camera: Video capture is now 3K Ultra-HD, with improved stabilization and low-light performance — ideal for photos, videos, and hands-free content creation.
- Smart AI features + everyday design: As before, the glasses combine classic Ray-Ban aesthetics (styles like Wayfarer, Skyler, Headliner) with AI-powered functionality: voice commands, media playback, social-media integration, calls and messages, and more.
- Versatility: Users can choose from a variety of frame styles, colours, lenses (sun, clear, prescription, polarized, transitions), making them usable as everyday sunglasses or prescription glasses — now with smart features. The Times of India
What Indian Buyers Should Know
- The starting price (~₹40,000) positions Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 as a premium wearable — more expensive than regular sunglasses but competitive for AI-enabled smart glasses.
- Because of the combination of traditional eyewear features (sun protection, prescription compatibility) and smart-glasses tech, the Gen 2 appeals to both fashion-centric users and tech-savvy buyers.
- Availability includes online platforms and authorised retailers, making purchase relatively accessible across major cities in India.
Why This Launch Matters — For Tech & Lifestyle
The Indian launch of Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 reflects a broader push to usher wearable AI devices from niche tech-enthusiasts into the mainstream. At a time when wearables — smartwatches, earbuds — are already common, AI glasses offer a new kind of hands-free computing: capturing moments, communicating, navigating, and more — all from your glasses. For many users, this could mark the start of everyday smart eyewear becoming part of normal life.
