Same data as the page, last updated 2026-10-06. > Meta Ray-Ban Display is available from $799, ordered online in the US and sold in Canada and the UK. France, Italy and Germany follow on October 13. - Status: On sale - List price: $799 (The maker's own starting price.) - Released Sep 30, 2025 (source: [Meta](https://about.fb.com/news/2025/09/ray-ban-meta-gen-2-better-battery-life-video-capture/)) - Guide: https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap - Last updated: 2026-10-06 ## Can it do this? - **Do I need a subscription?** No. There is no subscription on the Display, and nothing it does is held behind one. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-do-i-need-a-subscription)) - **How long does the battery last?** It runs about 6 hours on the glasses and the case carries another 24. The Neural Band you control it with runs about 18 hours, so both want charging on the same day. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-how-long-does-the-battery-last)) - **What does it cost?** It costs $799, more than twice what Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 costs, and it is sold through an in-store fitting rather than off a shelf. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-what-does-it-cost)) - **Can it get wet — shower, pool, swimming?** Sweat and rain are fine, the shower is not. Its IPX4 rating covers splashes rather than immersion. If you want a pair you can soak, the Oakley Meta Vanguard is rated IP67 at $499. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-can-it-get-wet-shower-pool-swimming)) - **Does it work with my phone?** Yes. It pairs with an iPhone or an Android phone, and works the same way on both. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-does-it-work-with-my-phone)) - **How heavy is it?** The glasses weigh 69g, the heaviest pair in the Meta line, and the Neural Band adds 42g on your wrist. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-how-heavy-is-it)) - **Can I get prescription lenses?** Yes. LensCrafters glazes the Display to your prescription from -4.00 to +4.00. Anything stronger sits outside that range, and Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 goes from -12.00 to +6.00 at $379. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-can-i-get-prescription-lenses)) - **Is it built for sport?** No. It is an everyday frame, and neither the display nor the Neural Band is made for a run. For the same camera and AI in a frame built for movement, look at the Oakley Meta Vanguard at $499. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-is-it-built-for-sport)) - **Can I take a photo without using my hands?** Yes, by voice or by a pinch on the Neural Band. There is no capture button on the frame. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-can-i-take-a-photo-without-using-my-hands)) - **Does it work without my phone?** No. It needs your phone for the connection and for the AI, so it is not a fully standalone pair of smart glasses. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-does-it-work-without-my-phone)) - **How good is the camera?** It shoots on a 12MP camera with a Sony sensor, the same resolution as the rest of the Meta line. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-how-good-is-the-camera)) - **What video can it shoot?** It shoots 1440x1920 at 30fps, a vertical frame aimed at phone screens, and lower resolution than the 3K the rest of the Meta line records. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-what-video-can-it-shoot)) - **How does it connect?** It connects over Bluetooth 5.3 to your phone, and Wi-Fi 6 for moving photos and video across. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/smart-glasses/ray-ban-display/roadmap#can-how-does-it-connect)) - **What colours does it come in?** It comes in two finishes, Shiny Black and Shiny Sand, on a single frame shape.
