Meta Launches $60 Charging Stand for Smart Glasses, Delivering 50% Power in 20 Minutes

2 articles · Updated · UploadVR · Jun 25

Summary

  • $60 is the price of Meta’s new stainless steel Charging Stand for most of its smart glasses, with the dock delivering a 50% charge in 20 minutes and a full charge in 1 hour.
  • The accessory targets convenience rather than necessity, since all Meta smart glasses already ship with a battery-equipped charging case that supports extra top-ups and USB-C passthrough charging.
  • 108 grams is the stand’s weight, and it uses a stainless steel body, silicone footpad and a USB-C port, but buyers must supply their own cable and power adapter.
  • Compatibility covers Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 and Gen 2, Oakley Meta HSTN and the newly announced Meta Glasses including the Starfire Kylie Edition, but excludes Meta Ray-Ban Display and Oakley Meta Vanguard.
