Meta is dropping the Ray-Ban branding for its new smart glasses. While they're still partnered with EssilorLuxottica, these are meant to be cheaper, entry-level devices. Spec-wise, they’re the same as the Ray-Ban Meta Optic style which were the prescription optimized glasses released back in March. Though these have a slightly longer battery life, adjustable nose pads, temple tips and overextension hinges to better fit wider faces.
