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.

Chamelo Music Shield Review: These Sporty Speaker Glasses Have One Thing Meta Needs

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.
