Xiaomi AI Glasses: Details

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 chip, the Xiaomi AI Glasses come with 4GB RAM and on-board storage of 32GB. The glasses feature a 12MP camera that supports 2K video recording at 30 frames per second, along with a stereo speaker system for audio output and five microphones for voice input and environmental sound capture.

A 263mAh battery powers the device, with charging supported via USB-C. According to the company, the smart glasses can deliver up to 8.6 hours of typical use, or up to 7 hours of music playback.

 

Weighing just 40 grams (excluding lenses), the Xiaomi AI Glasses are ergonomically designed for Asian facial structures and are IP54 rated for resistance to dust and splashes.

 

For connectivity, the smartglasses support Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, and are compatible with Android devices running Android 10 or later, and iPhones with iOS 15 or above.

 

At the heart of the experience is the XiaoAI voice assistant, which powers real-time translation across 10 languages, including Chinese and English. Users can interact with objects in their surroundings through the AI assistant by asking contextual questions. Additionally, Xiaomi says the glasses can facilitate QR code-based payments, simply by looking at a QR code to scan and pay.

 

Other notable features include voice control for smart home devices and the ability to live stream directly to platforms like TikTok.
