Xiaomi capped off a huge event in China, where it announced a handful of new devices. One of the more interesting newcomers are the Xiaomi AI Glasses – the brand’s answer to the Ray-Ban Meta. We also got a new pair of open-back wireless earphones dubbed OpenWear Stereo Pro.
Xiaomi AI Glasses
Xiaomi’s latest glasses offer 2K (1440p) video recording at up to 30fps and rely on a screen-less interface that’s entirely voice-controlled. The right temple features an integrated touch control area and you can outfit the glasses with prescription lenses or optional electrochromic ones.
They weigh just 40 grams and come equipped with a 12MP camera sensor (Sony IMX681), which records first-person videos as well as live broadcasts and photos. There are five microphones with bone-conduction and wind-noise reduction. You also get dual speakers for media playback.

Xiaomi went with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon AR1 chipset and its in-house Vela OS.
The AI Glasses feature a 263mAh battery, which Xiaomi claims will last for up to 8 hours and 36 minutes – double what you get with the Ray-Ban Meta. Xiaomi’s glasses also feature a USB-C port, which means you can plug them directly into any charger without the need to bring their charging/carrying case.
Xiaomi AI Glasses come in Black, Brown and Green colors. Pricing in China is set at CNY 1,999 ($278). Xiaomi has yet to detail if the AI Glasses will be available outside of China.

Battery life from the earbuds is rated at 8.5 hours while the charging case extends it to 45 hours.
