Treat yourself: The best smart glasses to buy with your holiday gift money | TechCrunch
"Although smart glasses have been around for a while, the technology is getting more advanced each year, so much so that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg claims the wearables will replace smartphones in the next decade (though many people disagree, of course). Smart glasses are no longer just a futuristic gadget - they've become practical tools that people use to communicate, navigate, track fitness, watch movies, enjoy immersive gaming, and more."
"The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 glasses have a 12-megapixel camera, open-ear speakers, and five microphones. They offer twice the battery life of their predecessor, lasting up to eight hours with typical use. They can charge to 50% in just 20 minutes, and you can purchase a case that provides an additional 48 hours of battery life. The glasses feature 3K Ultra HD video capture, which is two times more pixels than the previous generation."
Smart glasses have advanced into practical, multipurpose wearables for communication, navigation, fitness tracking, media consumption, and immersive gaming. Offerings include models with and without visible displays, tailored for everyday wear, sports, work, and gaming, with more launches planned. The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 resembles regular eyewear and includes a 12-megapixel camera, open-ear speakers, five microphones, and AI voice features like "Hey Meta" for hands-free capture, translation, and queries. The Gen 2 provides up to eight hours of typical use, 3K Ultra HD video, 32GB storage, IPX4 water resistance, and fast charging, priced at $379.
