According to the Chinese tech giant’s spokesperson, the brand has no plans on selling these smart glasses as of right now. Although, it did reveal a lot of information and shared videos that hints at what a possible smart eyewear from the company could offer in the future. The smart glasses sports a relatively conventional design but arrives with a monochrome MicroLED display alongside AR features. The brand opted for this display technology due to its “higher pixel density and longer lifespan while having a simpler structure” when compared to OLED.

Furthermore, Xiaomi added that MicroLED displays also “allows for a more compact display, as well as easier screen integration.” While the new display technology has been touted to be a possible successor to OLEDs, it is quite expensive and have only been seen in just a few commercial products. As per official notes, the display has a size of “grain of rice” with its dimensions being 2.4mm x 2.02mm, with a peak brightness of 2 million nits. This high brightness won’t completely reach the user’s eye and is offered to make the information being displayed visible even in direct sunlight.

As per video teasers from the company, we can see various scenarios where the new smart glasses concept would come in handy. This includes live translation, real time navigation, notifications right on the display, and other useful functions as well. Notably, the smart glasses can function without a smartphone and is independent as it is an Android device itself. It sports an unknown quad core Arm processor, with support for WiFi, Bluetooth, houses a battery, and a 5 megapixel camera while just weighing 51 grams.
