The next evolution of Meta AI glasses is taking an unexpected turn. The company announced three new styles today, one of which is co-designed with Kylie Jenner, but none of the new styles use familiar designer glasses brand names. Instead, 2026’s new Meta AI glasses prominently sport the company's branding, and I got to try them all on at a hands-on event in New York.
Meta Fury, Meta Adventurer, and the Kylie Jenner-styled glasses are all launching at a lower price point than the previous generation because of it, enabling more people to experience Meta AI glasses.
In a Q&A, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth told Android Central that these glasses are still built by EssilorLuxottica, the brand behind Ray-Ban, Oakley, Prada, and countless other popular fashion brands, so customers can expect the same quality and lens customization options as previous entries.
Meta showed us just a handful of the 26 total new styles it's launching, which include color and lens options from each of the three designs. Meta Fury are the thickest pair of the trio, Adventurer is a slimmer design than Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, and Kylie's design is all its own.
The new designs all come with more personalization options than ever, including 3-way adjustable nose pads to fit a wider variety of nose shapes, as well as adjustable temple arms that move 5 degrees inward and outward for added comfort. While the temple arms didn't feel like they did much for me, the adjustable nose pad angle made an immediate comfort difference.
Meta also added a new customizable action button on the top of the right glasses arm, which defaults to starting a Meta AI conversation so you can skip the “Hey, Meta” hot word. Alternatively, it can be used for different image capture modes, to start a live translation, to call the Be My Eyes service, to play music, or to start Meta AI in various ways.
All three glasses come with a charging case design that looks identical to Meta Ray-Ban Display, but now feature a detachable soft outer layer that you can swap out for different styles. Just like the Ray-Ban Display case, the sides can be folded inward and the case folded up to make it more pocket- or bag-friendly.
The Kylie Jenner “Starfire” model includes several special features over the other two models, as well, including metal nose pads (which Meta says are easier to clean), special action sounds, a custom Meta AI voice modeled after Kylie Jenner’s, and even a mirror inside the charging case.
Even more surprising is that these new glasses use the upgraded chipset that debuted with Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses late last year, giving them a slight advantage over other Ray-Ban- and Oakley-branded Meta AI glasses. While Meta was conservative with battery life estimates — which the company says is possibly slightly better than previous generations — they highlighted the smoother Meta AI conversations the spec bump brings.
These glasses also include turn-by-turn audio directions, bringing the feature over from the Display glasses. With the new glasses, Meta is also launching a bevy of new features for new and existing Meta AI glasses owners.
A whopping 14 new languages have been added to live translation: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese. While all of the new ones require cloud processing to work, that brings the total number of supported languages to 20.
A Meta representative had me run through a real-time demo while he spoke Chinese, a language Meta says is particularly difficult because words often require some context to understand. Processing latency on Chinese translation was noticeably longer than in other languages; however, the Meta AI app shows real-time progress and translations into both languages, so the person you're speaking to can understand what you say by reading the screen.
Meta AI glasses can now also help with food logging by analyzing photos of food with Meta AI. Just ask Meta AI how many calories are in whatever you’re eating, and it’ll give you a breakdown to help you more accurately log your food.
Meta Fury, Adventurer, and Meta Glasses by Kylie are available right now for $299 at Meta.com, Lenscrafters, Sunglasses Hut, Best Buy, and Amazon. You can order clear lenses, sunglasses, and prescription lenses for prescriptions from -12 to +2.25.
