Oakley Meta glasses review: A familiar formula with some upgrades

Here is a 188-word summary of the news article: Meta's latest smart glasses, the Oakley Meta, are the company's first collaboration with a non-Ray-Ban brand. While the glasses follow a familiar formula, they offer some upgrades over previous models. The Oakley Meta glasses have a longer battery life, both for the glasses and the charging case, as well as the ability to capture higher-quality 3K video. However, at a starting price of nearly $400, these upgrades may not justify the extra cost compared to the Ray-Ban versions. The design of the Oakley Meta is bold, with shiny gold lenses and bright white frames, which some users found unappealing. The glasses function similarly to previous Ray-Ban models, with a 12MP camera, open-ear speakers, and touch controls. Meta has added new AI-powered features, including live translation and "Live AI" capabilities that allow the assistant to visually identify objects and landmarks. While these features show Meta's AI-first approach, they don't always work as seamlessly as promised. Overall, the Oakley Meta glasses represent incremental improvements, but the high price and mixed design may limit their appeal to all but the most dedicated Oakley fans and early adopters.
