Xiaomi has scheduled a major launch for Wednesday during which it will announce a handful of new products including the Xiaomi 11T series. Surprisingly, it has also announced an impromptu launch event for tomorrow in China where it plans to announce a concept product.

The poster for the event shows a close-up image of the human eye and has a caption that loosely translates into ”See The Future”. While that doesn’t reveal much save for the fact that the product may have to do with the eyes, a popular leaker has let the cat out of the bag about what Xiaomi will announce tomorrow.

According to Digital Chat Station, the product is not related to smartphones but is actually a pair of smart glasses! The translation also mentions luxury eyewear manufacturer, Dior, which means this may be a collaboration between both companies. Considering his track record when it comes to leaks, we do not have a reason to doubt him.

Xiaomi’s smart glasses launch is coming barely a week after Facebook and Ray-Ban announced a pair of smart glasses called the Ray-Ban Stories. We don’t know what features Xiaomi’s own smart glasses but we should find out tomorrow.

The Ray-Ban Stories isn’t the only product Xiaomi is going after with its smart glasses. It is also going up against its local rival, Huawei, which already launched a few smart glasses in partnership with South Korean sunglasses brand, Gentle Monster. Their last product together is the Huawei x Gentle Monster Eyewear II announced in 2020.
