Engadget reports a price hike and Meta's promise of up to nine hours of battery life. Trusted Reviews says the recording light could still be easy to miss.
TLDR
Engadget reports that Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 starts at $449, adding Aviator and Zena frames alongside Wayfarer, plus adjustable temple tips and a programmable action button. Meta claims up to nine hours of battery life and says the six microphones should reduce background noise; Engadget hadn't yet tested the battery claim. Landscape photo and video capture and Dolby Atmos video recording were not yet available at its hands-on.
Trusted Reviews says the recording LED could be easy to miss for people unfamiliar with smart glasses, despite Meta describing it as a light people can't miss.
Separately, Engadget reports that Meta's own-brand glasses lineup adds two $399 editions made with Blackpink's Lisa and a $249 black Adventurer with a plug-in charging case. Those are distinct from the Ray-Ban Gen 3 models.
