Sorry, Europe and Canada, no Meta Ray-Ban Display for you. In a CES 2026 announcement about some new features coming to the Meta Ray-Ban Display, Meta snuck in some not-so-fun news about its smart glasses’ immediate future.

Xreal’s Cheapest AR Glasses Just Got Better (and Cheaper)
Xreal is back at CES 2026 with some improvements to its most affordable AR glasses. The Xreal 1S (a sequel to the Xreal One) are now $50 cheaper at $449 and have improved specs to boot.

If you thought that Meta made the most social media-friendly smart glasses money can buy, you might want to think again.

Chamelo Music Shield Review: These Sporty Speaker Glasses Have One Thing Meta Needs
There are a lot of high-tech “smart” glasses nowadays, and not all of them are created equal. Some of them have screens, some of them have AI, others… well, they don’t have much to offer at all. But if there’s one thing that you might want out of a pair of glasses with wires in them, […]
These Smart Glasses Cordially Invite You to Lug Around an Extra Battery
There are a lot of hurdles to clear before smart glasses go fully mainstream, but one of the biggest is battery life.

Even Realities Even G2 Review: Anti-Meta Smart Glasses With Real Potential
What exactly do smart glasses need to be smart? If you’re Meta, the answer to that question revolves around two things: cameras and audio.
