Xiaomi’s AI Glasses come equipped with a 12MP front-facing camera capable of recording 2K videos at 30fps. There’s also a five-microphone system onboard, ideal for voice commands, clear video calls, and crisp audio capture. The glasses support electronic image stabilisation, and you can activate the camera either by voice using the “Super Xiao Ai” assistant or a dedicated button on the frame.

There’s a blinking orange light to let others know when the camera is recording, something privacy-conscious users will appreciate. The glasses support livestreaming, video calling, and hands-free photography.

Design-wise, they look like regular glasses and come in three frame styles, including options with colored or electrochromic lenses. The latter can change tint with a two-finger swipe. You can also adjust the brightness across four levels.
