Meta's Next Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Confirmed: FCC Filing Reveals 'Scriber' and 'Blazer' Models Starting at $499

FCC filings have confirmed that Meta and EssilorLuxottica are preparing two new Ray-Ban smart glasses models for launch, expanding the Gen 3 lineup beyond the popular Wayfarer frame.

New Models Confirmed

• Ray-Ban Meta Blazer: A rectangular frame design available in Standard and Large sizes — a sportier look compared to the classic Wayfarer
• Ray-Ban Meta Scriber: A more rounded frame style — offering a softer, more academic aesthetic
• Pricing: Both models start at $499, a premium over the $379 base Wayfarer price
• Status: FCC filings describe them as "production units," indicating they are near launch

Why It Matters

Frame variety has been the #1 feature request from Ray-Ban Meta users. With only the Wayfarer style available since the Gen 2 launch, many potential buyers have held off because the frame shape didn't suit them. Blazer and Scriber address this directly — offering rectangular and rounded alternatives.

Meta sold over 7 million smart glasses in 2025, tripling all prior years combined. New frame options could accelerate adoption further by reaching buyers who want the AI features but prefer different aesthetics.

What This Means for Buyers

If you've been waiting for a non-Wayfarer Ray-Ban Meta option, these are coming soon. At $499, the new models carry a $120 premium over the base Wayfarer at $379. Current Wayfarer owners don't need to upgrade — the AI features are identical. For buyers choosing between Meta and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Glasses launching July 22, the expanded frame lineup strengthens Meta's position. Compare all options in our smart glasses guide.
