Ray-Ban Meta
Gen 1
Official price: from 247 €
The 2023 generation, still on sale and being cleared out: the cheapest AI glasses from a name brand. Same AI as the Gen 2, half the battery and 1080p video instead of 3K.
This review covers 3 frames: Wayfarer, Skyler, Headliner. Same electronics, different shape and price. Frames →
