Xiaomi Just Dropped AI Glasses That Rival Meta’s — And They Look Good Doing It
Xiaomi AI Glasses: A Powerful Competitor in the Smart Glasses Market
Xiaomi has entered the burgeoning smart glasses market with its new AI Glasses, unveiled alongside other exciting devices like the MIX Flip 2 and Pad 7S Pro. These glasses represent a direct challenge to Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, offering a range of AI-powered features in a sleek and lightweight design.
Challenging the Status Quo: Xiaomi's AI Glasses vs. Meta's Ray-Ban
Unlike glasses with built-in displays, Xiaomi's AI Glasses rely on voice and touch controls, interacting with the user through the Hyper XiaoAI voice assistant. This AI assistant offers a wide array of functions, including real-time object recognition (imagine instantly identifying a landmark or product), text translation for seamless communication across languages, calorie tracking for health-conscious users, and quick access to information via voice commands. The focus is on seamless integration and discreet functionality, rather than a bulky display.
Powering the Intelligence: Hardware and Performance
Under the hood, the Xiaomi AI Glasses utilize Qualcomm's Snapdragon AR1+ chip, designed for low power consumption while delivering high-performance AI capabilities. This dual-core architecture cleverly separates the workload, with the main Snapdragon AR1+ processor handling demanding AI tasks and a lower-power co-processor managing everyday functions like music playback. Paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, the glasses provide ample resources for smooth operation.
Camera Capabilities and Battery Life
The Xiaomi AI Glasses feature a high-resolution 12-megapixel Sony IMX681 camera capable of capturing stunning 4032 x 3024 pixel photos and smooth 2K video at 30 frames per second. Seamless integration with Xiaomi's HyperOS ecosystem allows users to easily switch between the glasses' camera and their paired smartphone for live streaming or first-person-view video calls. Adding to the immersive experience, the glasses include dual symmetrical speakers and a sophisticated five-microphone array, even incorporating a bone-conduction microphone for superior audio quality.
For convenience, a Meeting Assistant offers real-time transcription and translation in 10 different languages. The dedicated Xiaomi Glasses smartphone app provides centralized management of captured photos, videos, and translations. Powering this feature-rich device is a 263mAh silicon-carbon high-density battery, providing up to 8.6 hours of typical usage on a single charge. Conveniently, charging is handled via a standard USB Type-C port, eliminating the need for a dedicated charging case.
Design and Durability: Style Meets Substance
Xiaomi designed the AI Glasses for everyday wear, balancing style and functionality. Weighing only 40 grams, the glasses boast a classic D-shaped frame crafted from durable TR90 nylon. The frame's aerospace-grade titanium alloy hinges have undergone rigorous testing, surviving 18,000 open-and-close cycles. The IP54 rating ensures resistance to sweat and water splashes, making them suitable for various environments.
The Xiaomi AI Glasses are available in three stylish variants: the Standard Edition, the Single-Color Electrochromic Edition (allowing for tint adjustment), and the Multi-Color Electrochromic Edition (offering a wider range of tint options). Pricing is competitive, with the Standard Edition starting at 1,999 Yuan (approximately $280 USD), while the electrochromic editions are priced slightly higher.
Availability is currently limited to Xiaomi's website and select partner channels in China. However, there's currently no official word on global availability – a factor that will significantly influence its market success.
