B by Lenskart AI glasses: price, specs and how it compares
Short answer: B by Lenskart is Lenskart's own AI camera glasses, with a Google Gemini-powered "Hey Buddy" assistant, a 12MP Sony camera and 1080p video (Digit). Early access opened in May 2026 at ₹22,000, against a ₹27,000 regular price (Beebom). That's about half the ₹44,300 entry price of Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 (Ray-Ban India), but B records 1080p rather than 3K and lasts about 4 hours per charge rather than 9 (Meta).

The Mainstream names Hinglish among them. - Camera: a 12MP Sony sensor, 1080p video at 30fps and an LED that lights while recording. - Battery: up to 4 hours, up to 48 hours with the case, and 50% in about 15 minutes (Beebom). - Storage: 32GB. - Audio: 2 speakers and 3 microphones. - Weight: about 40 to 45 g (Digit). - Phones: Android 12 or later and iOS 18 or later, over Bluetooth 5.3. - In the box: blue-light lenses, a charging case and a cable (NewsBytes).
Can you buy B by Lenskart now?
Probably, but we couldn't confirm today's price. - 31 Mar 2026: the waitlist opened, and over 35,000 people signed up by mid-May (The Mainstream). - 5 May 2026: early access opened on Lenskart's website and app at ₹22,000. Buyers register, then pick frames and prescription lenses through a private order link (Beebom). - 4 Nov 2026: on Lenskart's Q2 FY27 earnings call, management said the glasses had reached about 500 stores 1 to 2 weeks earlier, and that about 90% of buyers bought them with a prescription and an eye test. That comes from a third-party, AI-assisted summary, not a transcript (CompoundingAI). The same summary puts the sign-up list at a few hundred thousand.
We couldn't load lenskart.com, so we can't say whether ₹22,000 still applies or the ₹27,000 price now does.

Who should choose B over a Ray-Ban Meta?
- Prescription wearers who want the eye test, lenses and glasses from one Lenskart store. Ray-Ban India lists no online prescription option for Gen 3. More options: Smart glasses with prescription lenses in India: options and costs.
- Google users who'd rather have Gemini than Meta AI.
- Budget buyers who want a new pair for under ₹30,000 rather than Gen 1 clearance stock.
Watch out: B is a first-generation product with 1080p video, about 4 hours of battery and no published warranty terms. Pick a Ray-Ban Meta if you want 3K video, a full day of battery or confirmed Hindi. Other routes: Ray-Ban Meta alternatives you can buy in India.
