Meta Platforms has announced that the highly anticipated Ray-Ban Meta Glasses will soon be available in India, expanding their availability to include several new regions. Initially launched in the US in September 2023, the smart glasses have gradually made their way to other parts of the world. With their official arrival in India, Meta is bringing new styles and enhanced features, including the much-awaited live translation feature and the ability to send and receive direct messages and make video calls on Instagram.

The Ray-Ban Meta Glasses will be priced similarly to other markets, with the base model starting at $299 (roughly Rs. 25,000) in the US. Developed in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, these smart glasses are equipped with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, open-ear speakers, and integrated microphones, providing users with the ability to take photos, listen to music, and communicate hands-free. Although Meta has not yet disclosed specific details regarding the price and availability for India, the glasses will soon be available for purchase in India, Mexico, and the UAE.

In addition to their expanded availability, Meta has introduced new styles for the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses. Customers can now choose from a range of designs, including the Skyler Shiny Chalk Grey with Transitions Sapphire lenses, Skyler Shiny Black with G15 Green lenses, or Skyler Shiny Black with Clear lenses, offering more options to match different tastes and preferences.
