Meta's smart glasses are having a huge moment, but Samsung's competition is coming soon

EssilorLuxottica said AI smart glasses sales doubled in the April-to-June period, boosting its overall revenue.

Meta is continuing to push its Ray-Ban and Oakley-branded smart glasses while preparing new Meta Glasses.

Samsung and Google are expected to launch competing smart glasses later this year through partners including Gentle Monster and Warby Parker.

The strong sales suggest smart glasses are gaining mainstream traction, even as new rivals could challenge Meta’s lead.
