Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 Glasses Features, Specifications

The Ray-Ban Meta Glasses have an identical design to the first-generation model. They feature a 12-megapixel camera and an LED light placed within two circular-shaped cutouts on either side of the frame. The LED light doubles up as a recording indicator when video recording is live.

The camera, however, has upgraded capabilities. As per the company, it can record videos in up to 3K resolution at 30 frames per second. It continues to capture photos in the same 3,024 x 4,032 pixels resolution as its predecessor. The smart glasses are also promised to receive slow motion and hyperlapse modes in the future.

In terms of features, the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 Glasses include Conversation Focus. It leverages the open-ear speakers of the smart glasses to amplify the voice of the person users are speaking to. The five-microphone array has also been optimised for noise reduction and offers greater clarity during voice and video calls.

The biggest improvement, however, comes in terms of battery life. As per Meta, the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 Glasses can deliver up to eight hours of usage on a single charge. Meanwhile, the case is said to offer an additional 48 hours of charging.
