More competition

Since launching the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, Meta has largely owned the smart glasses space but competition is finally catching up. It'll be interesting to see how or if Meta can stay a step ahead of competitors.

Amazon is reportedly designing a set of AR glasses. Several companies already make AR glasses, and a few have landed on our list of the best smart glasses. These include offerings like the Viture Luma Pro, Xreal One Pro, and the Rokid Air Lite.

And rivals like Google and Samsung are coming out with their own versions like the Xreal produced Project Aura, an Android XR-powered pair of glasses and the  Project Haean glasses.

Snap is supposed to launch its fifth-generation Spectacles in 2026.
