Oakley Meta preorders open up, and you can get the AI glasses next week


Meta's newest smart glasses pack some significant upgrades over the original Ray-Bans, and now you can finally get your hands on them.

The original Meta Ray-Ban glasses debuted a little more than a year ago to pretty high praise (and they're still widely loved). The Oakley glasses also include a significantly upgraded camera (from 1080p to 3K "Ultra HD"), and an IPX4 water resistance rating, a step-up in durability from the Ray-Bans. Ortiz spent a week with the Oakley Meta glasses and came away fairly impressed with the high-resolution camera and battery life, and our own Jason Howell tried them as well, pointing out that while they're designed for "athletes, adventurers, and creators who want an easy way to grab immersive POV clips in action-oriented environments," they're useful for anyone who wants quick, off-the-cuff social videos (as long as you're fine with the sports-focused design).
