No matter which model you buy, you get pretty much the same basic experience. As far as smart glasses go, they are both very stylish and look like a regular pair of Ray-Bans. They also offer the same set of features, allowing you to take photos and short 1080p videos hands-free as well as live stream directly to Instagram or Facebook. Both glasses also double as surprisingly capable open-ear headphones, with great speaker quality for listening to music while allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings. You can also take calls through a set of five microphones that do a good job of keeping your voice clear.
You also get access to all of Meta’s AI assistant features. If you’re planning to travel this summer, for example, the Assistant can translate supported languages like Spanish, French, and Italian in real time, and answer questions about the landmarks you’re searching for. They can also be useful in everyday life, helping you brainstorm recipe ideas based on ingredients you already have in your fridge, reminding you of upcoming appointments, scanning QR codes, and more.
The main difference is that the newer model shoots 3K video at 30fps, compared to 1440 x 1920 at 30fps, which translates to slightly sharper video and improved image quality. The second generation can also last up to eight hours with heavy use, which is twice the lifespan of the original pair, and means you’ll likely be able to wear them comfortably all day before recharging.
