On April 20, 2026, Huawei officially released its first consumer-grade AI smart glasses. With the core concept of “what you see is what you capture, what you ask is what you get,” the device weighs just 35.5g and is priced starting at 2,499 yuan. This is not only a milestone for Huawei in the smart wearable sector but also marks the official entry of domestic AI glasses into the large-scale implementation stage.
1. Featherlight Design: Wearing Experience Comparable to Regular Glasses
Whether AI glasses can truly popularize depends largely on lightweight design. The Huawei AI glasses weigh only 35.5g with temple thickness as slim as 6.25mm at the thinnest point, making the wearing experience almost indistinguishable from regular prescription glasses. Huawei developed a “Golden Triangle Balanced Weight Distribution Architecture” based on over 300,000 Asian head shape data, paired with titanium alloy constant force hinges to ensure the glasses stay secure during running, bending, and other movement scenarios. Notably, compared to competitors’ products at 40.6g and 36g, Huawei demonstrates superior weight control.
In terms of appearance, Huawei offers three color options: Titanium Silver Grey, Flowing Light Silver, and Modern Black. These come in prescription and sunglasses versions, with custom prescription lens options available. Users can find suitable styles for both business occasions and daily commuting. The minimalist and stylish frame design ensures no awkward appearance during daily use.
2. Kirin-Level AI Computing: Smart Experience Empowered by Self-Developed Chips
The biggest technical highlight of these AI glasses is their self-developed AI glasses chip, working with HarmonyOS to enable all-scenario intelligent interaction. Users can wake “Xiaoyi” through voice commands to complete payments, Q&A, device control, and more. For instance, saying “Xiaoyi Xiaoyi, help me pay 25 yuan” completes the payment effortlessly, truly freeing up your hands.
In terms of recognition capabilities, the built-in AI computing unit achieves millisecond-level wake-up with directional recognition accuracy exceeding 90%, covering over 5,000 famous landmarks and daily objects. Simply look up to ask about what you’re seeing and get relevant information. As officially introduced, when users look at an object, the glasses automatically recognize and provide related information, truly enabling “ask anything you see.”
3. 12MP Ultra-Sensitive Camera: 0.7-Second Snap to Capture Every Moment
Imaging capability is the core competitive advantage of Huawei AI glasses. The device features a 12-megapixel ultra-sensitive camera (1/2.8-inch sensor), with light intake 26% higher than similar products. It’s also the world’s first consumer-grade AI glasses supporting the HDR Vivid standard. This means in complex lighting environments like backlight and low light, the glasses can still capture clear and natural photos.
The glasses support 0.7-second AI instant capture, with users able to start photography through three methods: hand raise, button press, or voice command. Whether capturing children’s smiles, travel scenery, or sudden important moments, everything is instantly frozen. Paired with dual EIS electronic image stabilization and horizontal lock systems, videos remain steady even during movement. Additionally, the glasses support 1440P HD video recording, perfect for Vlog creators, with first-person perspective making content more immersive.
4. All-Scenario Smart Features: More Than Glasses, an AI Assistant
Huawei AI glasses offer far more than photography. They come with a complete Xiaoyi intelligent agent covering all daily needs: 42-language simultaneous interpretation makes overseas travel and business communication completely barrier-free; AI calorie recognition helps fitness enthusiasts better manage diet; Alipay’s “look to pay” feature enables secure payment through gaze and voice dual verification, balancing convenience and security.
In terms of battery life, the glasses offer up to 12 hours of comprehensive battery life, with 8 hours of continuous voice calls and 9 hours of continuous music playback, meeting all-day usage needs. The device supports IP54 dust and water resistance, easily handling dust and light water splashes in daily scenarios. Charging uses a magnetic fast-charging solution, fully charging in 1.5 hours, eliminating battery anxiety for daily commuting.
5. Deep HarmonyOS Ecosystem Integration: Opening a New Chapter in Smart Wearables
Huawei AI glasses require pairing with phones running HarmonyOS 6.0 or higher to unlock full AI capabilities. After deep adaptation, the glasses seamlessly connect with devices like Pura X, Mate series, foldable phones, tablets, and watches, enabling instant message broadcasting and device linkage.
Particularly noteworthy is the glasses’ first-person video livestreaming feature, supporting immersive streaming on platforms like Douyin and Bilibili, delivering an immersive viewing experience. This gives users entirely new perspectives and methods for sharing their lives. Huawei Consumer BG CEO He Gang stated that this product represents years of Huawei’s layout in smart wearables and will redefine industry standards for AI glasses.
6. Sales Information and Market Prospects
Huawei AI glasses pre-sale began at 17:08 on April 20, with official sales starting at 10:08 on April 25. Titanium semi-rim optical frames and classic full-rim optical frames are priced at 2,499 yuan, while classic full-rim sunglasses are priced at 2,899 yuan.

According to IDC data, China’s smart glasses market shipment is expected to exceed 4.508 million units in 2026, with year-on-year growth of 77.7%. With the continuous efforts of domestic brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, and Rayneo, AI glasses are rapidly transitioning from geek gadgets to mass-market consumer products. The launch of Huawei’s first AI glasses not only demonstrates Huawei’s technological strength in smart wearables but will also drive the entire industry toward lighter and more intelligent development.
