Lenskart recently entered the smart glasses market with its new smart glasses, known as B, which are the first made-in-India AI-powered smart glasses.
In a smart glasses market dominated by brands like Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley, these lightweight glasses pack features tailored for everyday Indian use.
Let us take a look at the specifications of the B smart glasses by Lenskart.
B By Lenskart: Key Features
Lenskart’s B smart glasses weigh just 40 grams, making them 20% lighter than rivals for all-day comfort.
On the power front, they run on Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chipset with a 12MP Sony camera for hands-free photos and 1080p videos at 30fps.
Other than that, for an enhanced AI experience, it comes with Google’s Gemini 2.5 Live AI, which enables natural voice chats, real-time translation, object scanning, and wellness tips like food logging.
Smart Everyday Tools
For everyday usage, you can pay bills hands-free by scanning UPI QR codes, which means no phones are required during busy markets and rides.
Additionally, live translation helps in multilingual chats during work or travel, while offline AI ensures quick responses even in spotty networks.
The battery can be a weak point as it only lasts 4 hours per charge, up to 48 with the case, and it also supports prescription lenses for specs users.
B By Lenskart Vs Ray-Ban and Oakley
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 matches the price at INR 22,000-25,000 with Meta AI (Hindi support), 1080p video, but it uses Meta apps without Google Gemini or native UPI.
On the other hand, Oakley Meta (INR 41,000+) are glasses that suit sports with better fit and battery, but lack UPI and cost more.
Whereas Lenskart’s B stands out as glasses for daily wear, not just fashion or sports, and it supports Google Gemini and UPI payments.
B By Lenskart: Great Pick for Indians?
Yes, for some users, Lenskart’s B is helpful as it is more affordable compared to other smart eyewear options. It also supports quick AI features, UPI access, and real-time translation, making it a practical everyday companion.
However, the affordability and ease of access also raise concerns in the Indian context. With built-in cameras becoming more widespread, there is a growing risk of misuse in public and private spaces. This is particularly concerning around privacy and consent, especially for women, as discreet photography or recording could become harder to detect.
