The Ray-Ban Stories have two 5MP cameras that can snap both photos and up to 30 second videos. There's built-in storage for 500+ photos and around 30 videos. The triple mic array uses beam-forming technology and noise cancellation to provide good voice recording during video recording.

The sunglasses support computational photography, HDR, low light fusion (Night Mode), video stabilization and denoising to pamper up your photos and videos.

These are stored on the new Facebook View app, which can edit them and send them off to your social app of choice - Instagram, Messenger, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat and more.
