Lenskart Details ‘B by Lenskart’ AI Smartglasses, Targets December Launch in India

The India-built wearable pairs Qualcomm’s AR1 chip with a Sony camera to run Gemini 2.5 Live as a developer-ready platform.

Overview

  • Lenskart says the device is expected to be available in India by December 2025, with pricing still undisclosed.
  • The glasses weigh about 40 grams and use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 with a Sony camera for hands-free photo and video capture.
  • An on-device Gemini 2.5 Live assistant supports voice interactions, real-time translation, UPI payments and wellness insights.
  • Lenskart will open the platform to Indian developers so third-party apps can integrate the camera and AI for uses such as food delivery, entertainment and fitness.
  • The company plans to scale production through its retail and manufacturing network, faces competition from Meta’s smartglasses in India, and some reports tie the consumer rollout to its Nov 10 IPO listing.
