Upcoming smart glasses in India: launch calendar
Short answer: No major smart glasses have a confirmed India launch date as of 14 Nov 2026. Meta says Ray-Ban Meta Audio is coming to India but gives no date (Meta). Meta Ray-Ban Display, Samsung's Intelligent Eyewear, Snap Specs, Even G2, Rokid AI Glasses Style, RayNeo X3 Pro and Alibaba's Quark glasses are announced or on sale abroad, with no India date. Xiaomi's AI glasses in India remain a rumour.
How to read the labels: Confirmed means the brand has given an India date or opened Indian orders. Announced (no India date) means the brand has announced the product, or sells it abroad, but hasn't given an India date. Rumoured means reports or sightings without a brand statement. Prices abroad are as announced, and any India price may differ.
