Meta Suspends Distribution of Ray-Ban Display Smart Glasses in Multiple Countries
During the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, Meta announced that it has suspended the distribution of its Ray-Ban Display smart glasses in Italy, the United Kingdom, France, and Canada. The company cited “unprecedented demand and limited supplies” as the reason for this decision. As a result, there is currently no timetable for the arrival of the glasses in these countries, which were initially scheduled to launch at the beginning of 2026.
Focus on US Market and International Availability
According to a statement released by Meta, the company will continue to focus on order fulfillment in the United States, while reevaluating its approach to international availability. The Meta Ray-Ban Displays, which were announced in September, are the first models produced by EssilorLuxottica for Meta, featuring a display on the lens for reading notifications and more advanced features, such as conversation with the Meta AI chatbot. These smart glasses also come equipped with a camera, stereo speakers, six microphones, Wi-Fi 6, and a bracelet control system for tracking finger movements.
Updates and New Features
Meta’s sales strategy in the United States has included scheduled appointments for trying on glasses and “weeks of waiting”. The company took advantage of the CES 2026 showcase in Las Vegas to launch some updates to the Ray-Ban Displays. The ‘smart glasses’ now allow users to write a message by typing with their fingers on a virtual keyboard and reach a destination on foot in 32 cities in the United States. These updates demonstrate Meta’s commitment to continuously improving and expanding the capabilities of its smart glasses.
