"That's a great deal because, even though Meta released the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) at the end of October, the last-gen glasses still offer great value. They're largely similar, offering much of the same experience - letting you play music, take photos, record 1080p video, and even livestream to Facebook or Instagram without pulling out your phone. And while the newer model shoots sharper 3K video at 30fps, both use the same 12-megapixel sensor so the image quality isn't noticeably different."
"They also offer a five-microphone array for hands-free calls and will include the Gen 2's upcoming "conversation focus" software upgrade, which boosts the voice of whoever you're talking to. The original pair will also receive other planned Gen 2 software updates scheduled for the fall, including new slo-mo and hyperlapse video modes. Additionally, the glasses can perform a range of other tasks thanks to Meta's AI-based features."
Original Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses dropped to $224.25 at Amazon and Best Buy, undercutting the Black Friday price by $15. The first-generation model retains core functionality: music playback, photo capture, 1080p video recording, and livestreaming to Facebook or Instagram. Both generations share a 12-megapixel sensor, though Gen 2 records sharper 3K video at 30fps. The originals include a five-microphone array and will receive Gen 2 software upgrades such as conversation focus, slo-mo, and hyperlapse modes. Meta's AI features enable real-time translation, voice-controlled photos, recipe suggestions, and landmark info. Gen 2 offers roughly double the eight-hour battery life for a $155 premium.
