Meta may have just released the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2)<\/a> at the end of October, but they\u2019re not significantly different from the last-gen model introduced in 2021. The overall experience is very similar, which is why the original Ray-Ban Meta<\/strong> smart glasses<\/strong> remain a great buy, especially now that they\u2019re on sale for an all-time low of around $238.99 ($60 off) at Amazon<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a>, and Target<\/a> for Black Friday.<\/p>\n

Like their successor, the first-gen Ray-Ban Meta let you listen to music, snap photos, record 1080p video, and make hands-free calls thanks to a five-microphone array. You can upload the resulting photos and videos \u2014 and even livestream\u2014 to Facebook or Instagram via the companion app. The glasses also support a host of AI-powered features, letting you use your voice to take photos, pull up the history of a landmark, ask questions, or get recipes based on what\u2019s in your fridge. They can even translate multiple languages in real time, helping you with Spanish, Italian, French, and other languages you may be less familiar with.<\/p>\n

Additionally, many of the same software upgrades currently slated to roll out to the Gen 2 model<\/a> \u2014 including the new slo-mo and hyperlapse video modes, as well as the new \u201cconversation focus\u201d feature that boosts the audio of whoever you\u2019re talking to \u2014 will also roll out to the original pair. The forthcoming software update, which is scheduled for the fall, will also improve the live translation feature by expanding it to support additional languages, including German and Portuguese.<\/p>\n

The biggest upgrade with the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 is that they have twice as much battery life: they offer up to eight hours of continuous use and a charging case that adds an additional two days of runtime, compared to 32 additional hours with the first-gen model. You\u2019ll also get slightly sharper 3K video at 30fps, but since both models use the same 12-megapixel sensor, the difference isn\u2019t all that significant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta may have just released the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) at the end of October, but they\u2019re not…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":409473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[171114,240,705,242,158,67,132,68,176667,3075],"class_list":{"0":"post-409472","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-black-friday","9":"tag-deals","10":"tag-gadgets","11":"tag-tech","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us","16":"tag-verge-shopping","17":"tag-wearable"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115624488796517752","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
