Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Headliner compare to the classic Wayfarer?
Internally, they are identical, packing the exact same 12MP camera, 3K video, and 8-hour battery life. The only difference is the aesthetic: the Headliner features a rounded Phantos silhouette, offering a slightly softer, more retro look compared to the Wayfarer's angular design.
What AI features does the 2025 model have?
It marks a major AI milestone with continuous 'Real-time Video Analysis'. Instead of just taking static photos and asking questions, the Meta AI can now continuously stream and understand your live environment, offering contextual advice on the fly.
