New & Next

What just landed, what's about to, and what you can finally buy.

Ray-Ban Meta Audio

OCT 13, 2026

Ray-Ban Meta Audio

Camera-free glasses with open-ear speakers

$349

Meta leaves the camera out completely, so the only way in is your voice: you ask Meta AI a question or take a call, and the answer comes back through open-ear speakers that leave your ears uncovered. Meta lists 43 grams and up to 12 hours of listening on a charge, three hours more than the Gen 3 frames that still carry a camera, plus up to another 48 hours from the case. Pre-orders are open now and Meta says they ship October 13.

OCTOBER 2026

Nikon Z5IIC

Full-frame camera that drops the viewfinder

$1399.95

Losing the eyepiece is what makes the body flat and small enough to live in a bag; you frame on the 3.2-inch vari-angle screen instead. Autofocus built on deep learning detects and tracks people, dogs, cats, birds, vehicles, aircraft and fish and holds focus on the eyes, and an AUTO mode reads the subject and the scene and then sets aperture, shutter speed and ISO. The $1,399.95 is body only; Nikon prices the 24-50mm kit at $1,699.95 and says both arrive mid-October.

SPRING 2027

Meta VR Glasses

100-gram headset tethered to a pocket puck

$1299.99

The glasses carry only the sensors and the display; compute, battery and storage move into a puck that clips to your pocket on an optical tether, which is how Meta gets to 100 grams, five times lighter than a Quest 3. There are no controllers, so you talk to the Meta AI agent built into the operating system or use your eyes and hand gestures to open an app or move a screen. Meta rates the puck at up to three hours of continuous high-resolution playback, which makes this a per-session device rather than an all-day one.

How we pick

What this ranking is, and what it is not.

The whole market, not our shelf
Entries are consumer AI and smart-living devices from anywhere. Most of them are products we do not sell.
An editor decides the order
Positions come from an editor reading the week's coverage. There is no score and no formula behind them.
Platforms are read separately
We look at YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and Reddit. Numbers from different platforms are never added together.
Published weekly, then frozen
A week runs Monday to Sunday in America/Los_Angeles and publishes on Tuesday. Once published, a past week is never recalculated.
