At Meta Connect 2026, CEO Mark Zuckerberg showcased the next evolution in the company’s wearable technology lineup, introducing the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) smart glasses. Building on the popular foundation laid by previous generations, the new iteration offers key hardware improvements alongside expanded design choices.

The Gen 3 generation focuses on enhanced comfort, refined hardware, and aesthetic variety:

• Bold New Styles: Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) comes in two bold new styles, Aviator and Zena, which join the collection alongside the iconic Wayfarer.
• Refined Design & Audio: The new generation features a slimmer design, a more comfortable fit, and a 6-mic array for clearer audio.
• Extended Power: The longer battery life provides up to 9 hours on a single charge.
• Assignable Action Button: A new assignable action button enables quick access to Meta AI or your favorite feature.

With these additions, Meta is broadening the visual and functional appeal of its wearable tech, offering over 100 different AI glasses style combinations across its smart eyewear portfolio.

The Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) smart glasses are available starting at $449 and are now available for purchase.
