Meta’s push into AI wearables isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

A new FCC filing has revealed that two upcoming Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, namely “Scriber” and “Blazer”. This listing hints at the launch being right around the corner.

It also describes the devices as production units, which means that Meta is already past the prototype stage and gearing up for release.

What’s next in Meta’s smart glass lineup?

The FCC database has confirmed two distinct models: Ray-Ban Meta Scriber and Ray-Ban Meta Blazer. Interestingly, the Blazer model could arrive in two sizes, including a larger variant that Meta hasn’t offered before in the lineup. Both models are also expected to arrive with a portable charging case, continuing the design choice from the previous generations.

It’s not just a new design

While finer details are still unknown, there are clear hints at meaningful upgrades. The new models carry model numbers RW7001 and RW7002, a noticeable jump from earlier generations, which could point to significant internal changes. This might include a newer chipset and support for WiFi 6 UNII-4 band that brings data speeds, connectivity reliability, and access to livestreaming and real-time AI processing.

This might be more than an incremental product update. Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses have already seen strong growth, with millions of units sold and production targets ramping up significantly. At the same time, the company is shifting focus away from VR and toward wearables.

Although there are still plenty of details we don’t have about Scriber and Blazer. Aspects like its final design, camera hardware, and features (like AI) are still unknown. And based on the name, these might be non-display AI glasses rather than AI-focused devices.

For users, the shift is simple. Galaxy AI could move from something you unlock or tap to something you wear, with voice, cameras, and Samsung’s connected-device network doing more of the work.

The company has introduced the Reon Pocket Pro Plus, which is the newest version of its wearable cooling device. The Reon line has been around for a while now, starting as a crowdfunding project back in 2019. After expanding across Asia and a few Western markets, the upgraded model is now heading to the UK and Europe.

Sony’s new luxury headphones could fix the XM6’s biggest problem
Electronics, Headphones

We recently reported that Sony could be working on a new pair of premium headphones that might make even the AirPods Max feel relatively affordable. Now, fresh leaked renders shared by Steve H. McFly, in collaboration with Android Headlines, are giving us our first proper look at what’s reportedly called the ColleXion headphones. And honestly? They look very Sony. The Black and White variants instantly reminded me of the Sony WH-1000XM6, especially with the clean, understated design language. Sony seems to be leaning even harder into minimalism this time around, and personally, I think that works in its favor. A lot of headphones today try too hard to look futuristic or flashy. These, at least from the renders, feel far more refined and grown-up.

What is more interesting, though, is the hinge redesign. The XM6 received its fair share of criticism over hinge durability concerns, and according to the report, Sony is reportedly trying to address that with an entirely new hinge mechanism on the ColleXion. From the renders alone, the design does look noticeably different, so there is a good chance Sony is finally taking those complaints seriously.
