/in /tarafından

Meta announced the expansion of its AI-powered smart glasses lineup with the launch of Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles on Tuesday. The smart glasses are the optical-first styles from the company designed for prescription wearers. Developed in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the new lineup marks a continuation of the companies’ multi-year collaboration, following the earlier introduction of Ray-Ban Meta glasses, Oakley Meta Glasses, and Meta Ray-Ban Display models.

Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles Price, Availability

The new lineup includes Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics (Gen 2) and Ray-Ban Meta Scriber Optics (Gen 2). They are priced at $499 (roughly Rs. 41,500). The glasses will be available for pre-order in the US starting March 31, with sales beginning April 14 across Ray-Ban stores, Ray-Ban.com, and select EssilorLuxottica retail outlets such as LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut.

As per Meta, the smart glasses will also be sold across multiple global markets, including the UK, Canada, Australia, Europe, and the UAE. Expansion to countries like Brazil, Mexico, and India is expected later this year.

Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles Features, Specifications
The new Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles are designed with a focus on comfort and customisation, the company explained in a blog post. The frames feature a slimmer design, interchangeable nose pads, overextension hinges with an additional 10-degree rotation, and adjustable temple tips for a more personalised fit.

Both Blayzer Optics and Scriber Optics frames support a wide range of lenses, including single-vision, progressive, and Transitions lenses. According to Meta, this means users can switch between indoor and outdoor environments without changing frames.

On the performance front, the Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles retain core smart features seen in earlier models. They are equipped with a 12-megapixel camera, which can capture photos and record videos in 3K resolution. There is also a six-microphone system for improved audio recording and clearer calls. Users can listen to music and podcasts via platforms like Spotify and Amazon Music, take calls, send messages, and interact with Meta AI using voice commands.

Gmail’s AI Inbox Feature With Smart Prioritisation Rolls Out for Google AI Ultra Subscribers in the US

Gmail is rolling out its AI-powered Inbox feature to select Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US, expanding on the Gemini-driven updates it introduced earlier this year. The new feature adds a dedicated AI view within Gmail that highlights priority emails, surfaces actionable tasks, and groups less urgent updates into summaries. It is said to be designed to reduce inbox clutter and help users quickly focus on what matters most, building on Google’s broader push to integrate AI more deeply across its email experience.

Gmail’s AI Inbox Feature Splits Email Into Two Sections
Gmail said in an X post that it has introduced an AI-powered Inbox with smart prioritisation and personalised briefings, now rolling out in beta to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US. The new AI Inbox appears as a separate view alongside the traditional inbox and is designed to surface priority information, rather than requiring users to scan individual emails.

The AI Inbox feature splits emails into two sections. While suggested to-dos highlight messages that need action, such as bills, reminders, or deadlines, and show what needs to be done, topics to catch up on cover less urgent updates, grouping things like travel plans, events, and purchases into quick summaries. These appear as interactive cards that link back to the original emails.

AI Inbox was first introduced to a small group of testers in January and is now rolling out in beta. It runs on Gemini 3 and processes data within what Google describes as a dedicated privacy environment. Users can turn off AI features through Gmail settings, and the company says personal Workspace data is not used to train its AI models.

 

Google Pixel 11 Pro Leaked Renders Indicate It Might Sport Thinner Bezels Than the Pixel 10 Pro

Design renders of the Google Pixel 11 were recently leaked, suggesting that the rumoured smartphone from the Mountain View-based tech giant could launch with subtle design adjustments. Expected to be unveiled later this year, the Pixel 11 lineup could feature at least four models, including the standard Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Now, computer-aided design (CAD) renders of the purported Google Pixel 11 Pro have also surfaced online, hinting that the company might redesign the rear camera module of the handset. Its dimensions, key specifications, and features have also been leaked.

Google Pixel 11 Pro Design, Specifications (Expected)
In collaboration with tipster Steve H. McFly (@OnLeaks), Android Headlines has published CAD renders of the rumoured Google Pixel 11 Pro, revealing the design of the handset. While the phone appears to have a similar design to its predecessor, the Google Pixel 10 Pro, the leaked renders suggest that it could be launched next year with a few changes. It is shown to feature a larger, tinted glass cover for the rear pill-shaped camera module, which might house three cameras and an LED flash. This year’s Pixel 11 Pro could feature an LED flash under the glass cover, instead of the outside, like the Pixel 10 Pro.

The purported Google Pixel 11 Pro appears in a silver colourway, featuring a flat rear panel and a flat metal frame. The centred Google branding appears in the middle of the panel. A power button and volume controls could be placed on the right side of the phone, with multiple antenna bands placed on either side of the phone. It is also expected to feature a USB Type-C port on the bottom. Moreover, it will reportedly boast thinner bezels than its predecessor, measuring 1.1mm.

Along with the renders, the dimensions of the phone have also been leaked. The Google Pixel 11 Pro is said to measure 152.7 x 71.8 x 8.4mm in dimensions. While it will reportedly be identical in terms of height and width to the Pixel 10 Pro, the handset is expected to be slightly thinner than its predecessor. It is expected to be powered by Google’s proprietary seven-core Tensor G6 chipset, along with a MediaTek M90 network chip.
