Meta Drops $499 Ray-Ban Smart Glasses With Slimmer Designs
Meta's new Blayzer Optics and Scriber Optics frames go on sale April 14 with customizable fits and new AI features.
Meta just expanded its Ray-Ban smart glasses lineup with two new models: the Blayzer Optics and Scriber Optics. Both retail at $499 and hit shelves April 14.
The new frames are slimmer than their predecessors and come with swappable nosepads and adjustable temple tips — a clear push toward making smart glasses feel less like tech prototypes and more like actual eyewear you'd choose to wear.
Beyond hardware tweaks, Meta is rolling out new software capabilities across its entire smart glasses range. Translation features and food-tracking abilities are coming to all Ray-Ban Meta frames, not just the new models.
It's a steady iteration play from Meta, which continues to bet big on face-mounted computing as its near-term hardware strategy while the full AR headset remains further out.
