- Mark Zuckerberg teasing third gene smart glasses for 2025 in investor call
- He also called 2025 a “Defining Year” for Meta’s smart glasses plans
- We have no official release date yet or Price Info
Recent leaks suggest that Meta is ready to launch a new generation of smart glasses in year-them, which is like its existing meta-beam ban, but with a built-in display to show you previews of the images you click on with their camera plus messages from your phone. While Mark Zuckerberg did not reveal any specific details of these rumor specifications in the company’s recent Q4 2024 investor call, his comments about a “third generation” of the technology and saying 2025 will be a “defining year” for meta in smart glasses category makes me think , that a release is all guaranteed.
Here’s exactly what Zuckerberg said according to the call’s official transcription on the topic of Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses: “Our Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses are a real hit and this will be the year when we understand the course for Ai- Glasses like a category. Many breakout products in the history of consumer electronics have sold 5-10 million units in their third generation. This will be a defining year that decides whether we are on a path to many hundreds of millions and eventually billions of AI glasses. “
It is noteworthy to shine on the ambitious “billions of AI glasses” goals, which is remarkable is that Zuckerberg highlights the importance of the third generation of technology to determine the success of future iterations of this hardware, and in the next Breathing says that 2025 will be the crucial year of meta in terms of smart glasses antidities that the year will be defined by the success of Meta’s own third-genes.
Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses So far have two generations under their belt-the original Ray-Ban stories launched in 2021, and Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses came out in 2023. Then for a third generation hardware to Bring a defining year in 2025, Meta should first launch it.
Zuckerberg was careful not to promise a launch explicitly, but his comments hardly go from a hair from crossing that line, and in connection with leaks we have heard that I feel we are getting new meta specifications this year. So what could they have in waiting for us and what do I want to see?
What i want to see from the next ray-ban meta smart glasses
1 .. Display in full color
Leakies have not gone into detail about the exact quality of the hardware’s components, but they have effectively promised us the existing smart glasses with a “single small in-line screen”, per. People who are familiar with the project. After testing other smart glasses, it means that the screen will effectively be half in your vision. This will have the advantage that it should not be too hidden, even if it focuses on what it shows that you might take some to get used to.
Given that other leaks suggest that this display can show you previews of the photos you take with the specifications, I hope it means it will be full-color-min’s main request for this display upgrade and while preferring a two- Lens solution There is a potential advantage that a single lens would have: Price.
2. Not for animals
I expect Ray-Ban Meta glasses with a display will cost more than the standard (display-less) pairs we currently have at $ 299 / £ 299 / AU $ 449, although I hope rumors can cost $ 1,000 (about £ 800 / AU $ 1,600) is not correct. I understand that innovation is not cheap, but $ 1,000 feels too expensive – especially for a product Zuckerberg and Meta Hope will see mainstream success.
My hope is that they cost somewhere about $ 650 (£ 550 / AU $ 1,050), where lens upgrades are what might be pushing them against the higher $ 1,000. If the default model is so expensive, I would expect a few upgrades-such as transitional lenses by default (like my smart beam beaming with transitional lenses is a game switch), improved speakers and an upgrade I hope they get regardless of a price increase: Better cameras.
3rd upgraded camera
12MP snapping the existing model can boast is fine for Meta AIS Look and ask the tool (which allows AI to see what you see for context for your requests), but I have found that the quality is not the best – nine times out of ten I’d rather use my phone.
There are occasions that the smart glasses have been great for first-person footage-I have recorded clips and taken pictures at concerts without losing at the moment because I’m behind a phone screen-but a quality improvement would make my snaps higher quality and would mean that I would trust them much more frequently.
We are unlikely to get 50mp cameras in smartphone quality, but a boost to the 12MP counting or some other sensor upgrades to improve their performance-ville certainly won’t go wrong.
4. Longer battery life
Finally, the most important factor that needs an upgrade is battery. While Meta boasts a four-hour maximum battery life, the specifications can only really achieve this with more intermittent use-such as occasionally asking questions or taking snaps. If you want to stream music or livestream your perspective on Instagram, you burn faster through their battery and I expect a display not to help things.
Ideally, the next gene specifications would boast at least one actually four-hour battery life with the display on, though I would accept three hours as perhaps a more reasonable goal. If they can only approach one or two hours of the display on, I was concerned about how useful the specifications will be, although the project will be a balancing action from Meta between battery, specifications, price and weight.
