Description
Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 3 brings the next generation of hands-free capture and audio to the familiar square Wayfarer silhouette. Compared with the Gen 2 range, Meta says Gen 3 is slimmer and more comfortable, with an extra hour of battery life and a customizable action button for fast access to Meta AI.
Key features
- Capture what you see: 12MP camera and 3K Ultra HD video, with dynamic photos to choose a standout frame.
- Clearer communication: six microphones designed to cut more than 90% of background noise during calls and voice commands.
- Longer wear: up to nine hours of battery life and professionally adjustable temple tips.
- Hands-free control: ask Meta AI, take calls, listen through open-ear speakers and use the customizable action button.
- Capture indicator: a built-in LED helps people nearby know when photos or video are being taken.
Made for everyday moments
The Wayfarer shape works from a commute to a weekend out. Ask a quick question without taking out your phone, take a point-of-view photo while your hands are busy, or listen to directions and calls through the open-ear speakers. The longer battery life gives you more room between charges than Gen 2. Choose a lens for how you wear the frame: clear, tinted, polarized and Transitions options appear in the combinations above.

Accessibility
For people who are blind or have low vision, the built-in camera and spoken Meta AI responses can help answer questions about objects, text and surroundings where visual AI features are available. 180by2 has collaborated with the South African National Council for the Blind (SANCB) to better understand accessibility needs. AI descriptions may miss details; keep using your usual mobility aids and check important information independently. Feature availability varies by region and software release.
