Xiaomi challenges Ray-Ban: new AI glasses with long battery life and smart features

Smartphones have undoubtedly become an important part of our everyday lives. But smart glasses are becoming increasingly important. They can be a great companion, as they can easily replace both smartphones and computers in certain areas.

It's no surprise that Xiaomi is also active in this area. The computer giant recently introduced its AI glasses, which seriously compete with the leaders with a number of features. These include a 12 MP IMX681 camera with a 105-degree viewing angle and support for 2K recording (30 frames per second, up to 10 minutes), video calls via applications and even live streaming.

In addition to the hardware, advanced artificial intelligence also stands out. Super XiaoAI enables real-time translations, QR code payments, and more. Despite all this technology, the novelty weighs only 40 grams. The glasses also serve as headphones, with stereo speakers and five microphones.

They are powered by a Qualcomm AR1 processor and a Hengxuan 2700 coprocessor. One of the key advantages of the new Xiaomi smart glasses is their battery life – a whopping 8.6 hours of operation thanks to a 263 mAh battery and USB-C charging. This is more than twice as long as Ray-Ban's competing smart glasses.

There are three versions available:

– Basic version: converted 260 euros
– Monochrome electrochromatic: converted 350 euros
– Color electrochromatic: converted 390 euros

The electrochromic lenses can change color in just 0.2 seconds. The frames are available in three colors. The buyer can choose between classic black, parrot green and transparent brown.
