Xiaomi intros new affordable smart glasses with up to 11 days of battery life

Xiaomi has introduced new smart glasses to the global market. The eyewear is called the Smart Audio Glasses and is currently available on AliExpress for $86.54. While that's an affordable price tag, the feature set is not as extensive as some of the other options in the market.

To be specific, as the name somewhat suggests, the wearable is basically a pair of glasses with functionalities of Bluetooth earbuds. Of course, given the design, these smart glasses can be considered an alternative to open-ear headphones, and as Xiaomi highlights, there are sound leakage protections for enhanced privacy in public spaces.

The company also notes that the smart glasses feature an SLS0820 ultrasonic speaker and sound cavity structure algorithm. This combination allows the eyewear to offer "optimized sound quality" and deliver "rich, deep bass" along with "vibrant, clear treble." The wearable has an echo-cancelling algorithm as well, which is said to lower distortion and ensure clear audio output.

Another highlight of the Xiaomi Smart Audio Glasses is the battery life. The company claims that in standby mode, the runtime can reach 11 days, while they are said to offer up to 10 hours of battery life when listening to audio. Regarding charging the built-in battery, the wearable relies on a magnetic pogo pin charger, similar to what most smartwatches come with.

Design-wise, Xiaomi highlights that the smart glasses have a frame that weighs 40 grams. With a comfort-forward temple curve and adjustable nose pads, the wearable is said to offer all-day comfort. Other highlights include a detachable hinge design for interchanging frames, an IP54 water and dust resistance rating, and touch controls.
