Huawei is reportedly developing a new AI-powered pair of smart glasses that could launch soon. But early leaks have hinted at its launch timeline, and a new built-in translation feature that would help users bridge the language barrier on the go. So here’s what we know.

New Huawei AI Glasses Features Translation Tools

According to known tipster Digital Chat Station, the next wearable is expected to build on the brand’s existing AI glasses ecosystem by adding more advanced features. This includes a built-in translation feature, which would operate directly from the wearable without needing a separate smartphone app for basic tasks. So users can communicate more easily across more languages. It would also have Huawei’s upcoming smart wearable be in line with other recent smart glasses, which also offer real time translation and AI interactions.

Furthermore, the Chinese tech giant’s new AI smart glasses likely bring deeper integration with the HyperOS ecosystem. Apart from just translation, reports claim the glasses will be capable of taking photos and videos, recording audio, and playing music through onboard speakers and microphones, making them more than just an eyewear accessory. These features hint at a multifunctional device similar to the Meta Ray-Ban AI Glasses.

DCS claims that the new glasses will use three lithium batteries to balance power and weight. It is also expected to come in multiple color variants, namely Streamer Silver, Titanium Silver Gray, and Modern Black. The tipster further adds that the new Huawei AI Glasses could launch in the first half of 2026. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this with a pinch of salt for now.

We’re approaching 2022, almost 9 years since Google made its first and last Google Glass. One might think that the smart glass industry may not be worth venturing, however, Huawei wants to prove otherwise.

In addition to announcing the rumored Huawei Matebook X Pro on the Huawei Winter Flagship Keynote on 23 December 2021, Huawei is also planning to release its first true smart glasses, the Huawei Smart Glass.

The pair of glasses is said to be powered by HarmonyOS, the in-house operating system developed by Huawei. Huawei is calling the glasses “your next smart personal assistant” and from the teaser video that Huawei shared, the glasses feature swappable lenses as well as left and right firing speakers on each arm of the glasses.

This announcement comes in piping hot right after Oppo announcing its first Oppo Air Glass at its Oppo INNO Day 2021 event on 14 December 2021. The glass features futuristic styling with a single lens design and weighs less than 30 grams. The Air Glass is also designed to snap onto custom frames offered by OPPO using magnetic components housed inside the Air Glass frame.

Huawei previously released two glasses under its name, however, both were in collaboration with spectacles maker Gentle Monster. The upcoming Huawei Smart Glass does not feature any collaboration branding and is rumored to be a brand new series in the Huawei family.

The current Gentle Monster X Huawei Eyewear II is currently still in stores for RMB 2499 to 2699 (393 to 424 USD). It comes in 4 sunglasses design options and 6 optical glasses design options. It also supports music playback and voice assistant reminders.

Xiaomi was initially thought to be a copycat which earned it the nickname- China’s Apple as the company was seen as copying the products of the US tech giant. Over time, the Chinese tech giant has been able to broke off that toga with several innovative products of its own. The brand’s R&D efforts have seen it clinch a new patent. The patent was initially filed by Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. for “a smart glasses and glasses case.”

The patent details show that the product is a smart glasses and a glasses case that can integrate detection and treatment. The details also suggest that the product emits some therapeutic signals which include phototherapy signals (ultraviolet signals, visible light signals, infrared signals, and laser signals) and sound wave signals, that can be used to treat brain diseases, mental diseases (for example, depression or anxiety), or eye fatigue.

The light therapy signal can treat brain diseases or mental diseases. The sound wave signal and the sound wave signal can treat mental illness, relieve headache or fatigue. Magnetic waves or electromagnetic waves can promote the absorption of missing elements or effectively promote blood circulation in the brain.

We don’t have further details of the product but it is obvious that the product will also come with several features including a speaker or sound transmission technology such as on conduction. We can’t say for sure if the product will be commercialized any time soon.

If Xiaomi chooses to mass-produce this, it won’t be the first Chinese OEM to launch smart glasses. Recall that Huawei has launched two generations of its Gentle Monster Smart Glasses. The smart glasses offer UV protection and also support taking and ending calls. They can play and pause music as well with dual speakers and a microphone which is assisted by an AI-powered speech noise reduction technology.
