Yes, These Ray-Bans Take Photos, Videos and They're 20% Off Right Now
Sometimes you want to record a moment without pulling out your phone and making it obvious. Other times, you just want to look cool while taking a call through your facewear. These Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses do both without making you look like a walking tech demo. And right now, they're $239.20—that's 20% off and way more interesting than regular sunglasses.
These glasses come with built-in open-ear speakers that let you take calls, stream music, or hear voice commands while still being aware of your surroundings. You can control everything using voice prompts, so you don't have to fumble for buttons or look like you're talking to yourself in public. The audio is surprisingly clear, and the dual beamforming mics pick up your voice even in loud outdoor spaces.
These glasses also include a discreet 12MP camera capable of capturing photos and HD video straight from your line of sight. You can instantly share to social or archive footage without awkward angles or selfie sticks. The touchpad on the arm lets you adjust volume, skip tracks, or take a quick snap with one swipe or tap.
And these glasses actually look good. The classic Wayfarer style stays true to Ray-Ban's original design, so no one has to know you're wearing something smart unless you tell them. They're lightweight, durable, and include a charging case that gives you multiple recharges on the go. You get about four hours of use per charge, which covers most daily wear without worry.
At $239.20, these Ray-Ban Meta Glasses feel like a tech upgrade that doesn't ruin your outfit. They do more than your average wearable, and you won't feel weird wearing them outside.

Leaked render reveals Meta's Hypernova smart glasses and wristband controller
TL;DR A newly leaked render shows off Meta's upcoming 'Hypernova' smart glasses alongside its wrist controller accessory. Hypernova is expected to feature a screen in the right lens, an upgraded camera, and the ability to launch apps for taking photos and accessing maps. Users will also be able to see notifications. The 'Ceres' neural wristband will reportedly power gesture-based controls for the device. Hypernova is expected to cost $1,000–$1,400 and is said to be coming by the end of the year. Meta's smart glasses with Ray-Ban have been a runaway hit, and the company is doubling down with more style variants. Beyond these, the company is also rumored to be working on a higher-end version of the smart glasses with a built-in screen, which is expected to launch by the end of the year. These glasses, codenamed Hypernova, have now leaked, giving us our first look at the next generation of Meta's AI smart glasses. Leaker Arsène Lupin has shared a render of a pair of smart glasses and a wrist accessory, claiming the pair to be the upcoming Meta Hypernova glasses. Granted, this is a rather low-resolution render, but it at least gives us a fair look at the wrist accessory. What is this wrist accessory, you ask? A previous report claims that the Hypernova glasses will come with a 'neural' wristband controller, codenamed Ceres. These controllers were in the works for Meta's Orion AR glasses, but they could also seemingly be used by Hypernova to recognize hand gestures such as rotating the hand to scroll through apps, and pinching fingers and thumb to select items. It's unclear if the pictured wristband controller is the Ceres controller, but it likely is. As for the Hypernova glasses themselves, they don't look all that different from the current generation Meta Ray-Bans, but previous leaks suggest these include a built-in screen. The monocular screen will only be visible in the lower-right quadrant on the right lens, but we can't make out the screen in this low-resolution render. When turned on, the display will show a home screen comprised of circular icons laid out horizontally, similar to the app dock that we see on a lot of devices. Users will be able to use dedicated apps to take pictures, view photos, and even access maps. Other expected functions are said to include notification support for phone apps, including WhatsApp and Messenger. These glasses are said to be controlled using hand gestures using Ceres and capacitive touch on the sides of the frame. Meta is also said to be working to upgrade the camera on board the glasses. Meta's Hypernova smart glasses are expected to be priced between $1,000 and $1,400. The final price (and potentially the final marketing name) will be decided closer to the announcement. Meta is also said to be already working on a second-generation version of the product, codenamed Hypernova 2, which will have two screens but won't come out until at least 2027. Got a tip?

Apple smart glasses just tipped for 2027 launch — and there's 6 other 'head-mounted' wearable devices on the way
We've heard a bunch of rumors about Apple's plans for smart glasses, and other wearable head gear, but those plans may be grander than we initially thought. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple has at least 7 different head-bound devices in development right now. According to the analyst's report, "Apple views head-mounted devices as the next major trend in consumer electronics." Which may explain why it's putting so much work into developing different options. Apparently this includes three Vision series products and four different kinds of smart glasses. None of these are expected to arrive in 2026, and the first releases are planned to arrive from 2027. Kuo claims that 5 of these products have "confirmed development timelines," while the final 2 are still TBD. The first new product set to arrive is apparently the Ray-Ban-like smart glasses, with projected shipments of 3-5 million units in 2027. However, he believes an M5-powered Vision Pro, which is otherwise unchanged from the current model, is set to go into mass production in Q3 of this year. Kuo claims that these glasses will have no display functionality — instead relying on audio playback, cameras, video recording and an AI that can analyze the world around you. There will also apparently be voice and gesture controls to go along with it. Kuo's report predicts that a lightweight "Vision Air" will enter mass production in Q3 2027, with a 40% reduction in weight, lower price tag and "Apple's latest flagship iPhone processor." Meanwhile, the 2nd generation Vision Pro is expected to arrive in late 2028, with a new lighter design, a lower price and a "Mac-grade processor." Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In terms of glasses, late 2028 is also when Kuo predicts a set of XR glasses will arrive, complete with a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) color display — plus voice and gesture controls. AI support is said to be critical to its success. Some kind of tethered display accessory is also said to have been in development, but has been paused since last year. Apparently, this was delayed because it doesn't have what Apple needs to better compete with rival products. It's unclear what the final seventh device actually is, and Kuo doesn't go into details about what might be involved. Between Meta, Google, Samsung and upstarts like Xreal, Apple really has its work cut our for it. The competition is heating up, and right now 2027 seems like a very long way away.
