Xiaomi has just unveiled a new smart product concept. The new gadget is a Smart Glass that offers various features like calling, navigation, and even houses a camera for live translation and taking pictures.

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.

Xiaomi’s surprising new addition yesterday was none other than the big bezel-less screen Xiaomi Mix / Mi Mix. This is the company’s most revolutionary smartphone yet and comes with the largest screen to body ratio on a smartphone yet — 91.3%. Yes, like you may have already seen in the hands-on images, the display takes up a majority of the phone’s front, and it looks beautiful.

However, if you have been wondering why Xiaomi decided to call it the Mi Mix, today, we have got an answer. A few hours back, Xiaomi’s Director of Product Planning, Sun Peng, threw some light on why the company’s concept smartphone is called the Mix.

He came up with this name a while back for the company’s ecosystem products, but turns out, it suits better for the company’s futuristic smartphone.

MIX is an acronym for ‘Made In Xierqi’. The company seems to be moving its office in Xierqi after two years and naming it as the MIX hints that the phone is from the future.
