Deepika Padukone voice lineup highlights Oakley Meta AI glasses India launch
Meta has introduced the Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses in India, targeting athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. The AI-powered wearable features a 12MP camera, Meta AI voice integration—including Hindi support—and up to nine hours of battery life, blending sports-focused design with smart connectivity.
The Oakley Meta Vanguard was launched in India on Tuesday. These smart glasses, designed for athletes engaged in outdoor activities, come as a redesigned version of the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses. They feature a 12-megapixel camera in the center that supports 1080p video recording at 60 frames per second (fps). Like the Ray-Ban Meta, the Oakley Meta Vanguard has Meta AI integration, allowing users to talk to Meta AI or make calls.
Oakley Meta Vanguard Price in India
The Oakley Meta Vanguard starts at Rs 52,300 in India. It is available for sale at Sunglass Hut, LensCrafters, and major optical stores across the country. Customers can choose from four different variants of the smart glasses:
According to Meta, the Oakley Meta Vanguard is designed for athletes and cyclists involved in high-intensity sports. Unlike the standard Ray-Ban Meta, which features a Wayfarer style, the new smart glasses have a wraparound, eye-protection design inspired by Oakley's signature Vanguard frame. These glasses weigh 66g and have an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.
Meta says it has incorporated Prizm Lens Technology into the Oakley Meta Vanguard, which is claimed to block sun, wind, and dust.
Meta has also introduced several India-specific features. First, users can select Hindi as their preferred language in the Meta AI app, meaning they can ask questions, get information, respond to text, and control media in Hindi. Additionally, there is Hindi support for hands-free voice interaction and UPI Lite payments. Finally, Meta has also added Deepika Padukone as an option to the voice lineup available for the AI assistant.
The Menlo Park-based company has also partnered with Garmin to integrate Meta AI with the company's smartwatches. When paired with a Garmin watch, users can ask the Oakley Meta Vanguard to display health or workout information via the microphone, and the smartwatch will instantly show the data.
In terms of connectivity, the smart glasses support Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E. They come with 32GB of built-in storage. Meta claims the Vanguard offers up to nine hours of battery life with regular use or six hours of continuous music playback. The charging case is claimed to provide an additional 36 hours of battery life.
