The company originally planned to release the glasses in late 2026, but decided it needed more time to get the product just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to an internal memo seen by Business Insider, Meta executives said the delay gives them more &#8220;breathing room to get the details right.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to deliver a fully polished and impressive device to consumers. This move signals that Meta is willing to be patient to avoid a costly flop in the emerging and highly competitive mixed-reality market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Phoenix glasses are designed as a lightweight, accessible alternative to bulkier headsets. Weighing only about 100 grams, they are expected to have less computing power and lower-resolution displays than high-end devices like the Apple Vision Pro. The technology aims to blend digital objects with the real world seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This strategic delay comes amid a broader reassessment of Meta&#8217;s ambitious metaverse plans. The news follows recent reports that the company is planning to slash the budget for its metaverse division by up to 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This entire project is housed within Reality Labs, the division responsible for all of Meta&#8217;s hardware, including the popular Quest headsets and the Ray-Ban smart glasses. The decision to delay Phoenix shows the company is carefully managing its long-term bets on the future of computing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Points Meta is tapping the brakes on its next big hardware release, pushing the launch of its &#8220;Phoenix&#8221; mixed-reality glasses back to 2027.
