- Xiamoi could be coming into the good glasses market, in line with a brand new report.
- The rumored glasses will look to undercut the Ray-Ban Meta Good Glasses.
- These ought to provide an analogous characteristic set with cameras built-in.
The Ray-Ban Meta Good Glasses are among the many greatest good glasses (and one of the best AI wearable basically) round. They’ve a glossy, trendy form and stable Meta AI integration (with useful instruments like Look and Ask, which depend on the glasses’ digicam). However they aren’t low-cost, which is the place these rumored Xiaomi good glasses would possibly are available in.
Per a report from Chinese language media outlet 36Kr, trade insiders have mentioned that Xiaomi will launch AI glasses that can “absolutely benchmark in opposition to Meta Ray-Ban,” – suggesting they’ll pack all the identical instruments and options. This would come with a model of the Xiaomi AI – which seems to be awfully much like Apple Intelligence when you ask us – but in addition the cameras and built-in audio system.
There’s no exact phrase on how a lot they’ll price after they launch, however Xiaomi is understood for producing extra reasonably priced tech than its better-known rivals, so we count on its good specs to start out at lower than Meta Ray-Ban’s $299 / £299 / AU$449 beginning value.
Not a shock, not a assure
Although, we shouldn’t have to attend too lengthy to search out out exactly how a lot the Xiaomi glasses price, with trade insiders claiming they’ll arrive in Q2 2025. The Mi Fan Competition is often held in April, which, as 36Kr notes, would align with this schedule, so maybe the 2025 Fan Competition might be the place we see these AI glasses in motion.
Clearly, as with all rumors, we must always take this leak with a pinch of salt. What’s extra, even when these glasses change into actual and arrive subsequent yr, there’s a non-zero likelihood they’ll be unique to China and/or Asia.
Contemplating the Ray-Ban Meta glasses proceed to show wildly standard, we’d be stunned if the Xiaomi specs had been the one AI glasses to reach in 2025. As Xiaomi, Apple, Google, Amazon, and others proceed to push AI developments, it is smart for them to push out AI equipment to rival the Ray-Ban Meta glasses – and hopefully, this competitors means higher costs for us.
