Meta has officially announced its latest smart glasses, this time teaming up with Oakley. The new glasses offer double the battery life of the previous Ray-Ban Meta model, upgraded video recording capabilities, and improved durability for active lifestyles.
Designed for Active Use, Powered by Meta AI
Unlike previous models focused on fashion and lifestyle, the new Oakley x Meta smart glasses are made for outdoor and sport use. They come with a secure wraparound frame and an IPX4 water-resistance rating, perfect for sweat, rain, or splashes.
These glasses also include:
- 3K video recording, up from 1080p on Ray-Ban Meta glasses
- Up to 8 hours of battery life on a single charge
- 48 additional hours via the portable charging case
- Fast charging, giving 50% battery in just 20 minutes
- Open-ear speakers and dual microphones for immersive sound
- Meta AI assistant, allowing voice commands for recording, music playback, weather updates, and more
Style Meets Tech: Customization and Price
At launch, there will be five frame and lens options available in stylish colorways like black, brown smoke, clear, and warm grey. All versions are prescription-ready, and the limited-edition launch model will come with PRIZM gold lenses and gold detailing for $499.
Standard models will be available starting at $399, with more style options arriving throughout the summer.
Preorder and Global Rollout Details
Preorders for the Oakley Meta Smart Glasses will begin on July 11 in 15 countries including the US, UK, Canada, France, and more. Meta also confirmed plans to bring the glasses to Mexico, India, and the UAE by the end of 2025.
Final Thoughts
With a rugged design, smarter AI, better battery, and clearer video, Meta’s new smart glasses in partnership with Oakley aim to capture the active lifestyle market. Whether you’re cycling, hiking, or just enjoying a day out, these glasses are built to keep up.
