Ray-Ban Meta glasses launched in India: Prices, availability and more

Ray-Ban Meta glasses, the AI-powered smart specs that bring together iconic design with immersive intelligence, are officially making their India debut. Starting at Rs 29,900, these smart glasses have been teasing the Indian audience for some time now, with rumours, speculations, and expected launch dates doing rounds on the internet.

Hey Meta, tell me more about the smart glasses

At first glance, they’re unmistakably Ray-Bans. But look closer, or better yet, wear them, and the difference is clear. These glasses aren’t just about looking good. They’re about seeing better, hearing smarter, and connecting deeper.

With Meta AI integrated, you can simply say, “Hey Meta,” and get instant answers. Curious about a historic site in Mumbai? Need a recipe idea with what’s left in your fridge? It’s all right there, whispered gently into your ear.

But the real flex is the live translation. Imagine navigating a Parisian café or chatting with a Spanish-speaking cousin without skipping a beat. Once you’ve downloaded the language packs, you can translate conversations in English, Spanish, French, and Italian, even in airplane mode. Real-time audio for you, on-screen transcript for them.

This is something that seemed like a distant dream just a few years ago, but it is accessible now. For a steep price, but if you are one for being a part of the early adopters of tech, you won’t skip a beat before buying them. We know. Moving on.

Style-wise, you’re spoilt for choice. There’s the classic Wayfarer (in standard and large), and the new Skyler, a universally flattering frame available in a fresh Shiny Chalky Grey. You can also pick from the different lens types, including sun, clear, polarized, transitions, or prescription.

And then there’s the Meta AI app. Beyond just syncing, it extends your smart-glasses experience. You can pick up past chats, edit photos snapped through your lenses, and if Meta’s claims are anything to go by, you will soon be able to send DMs, make video calls, and stream your favorite music from Spotify or Apple Music, all without lifting a finger.
