Xiaomi recently introduced its Wireless AR Smart Glass Discovery Edition.
After the presentation of the new range of Xiaomi 13 smartphones, the Chinese manufacturer has unveiled its revolutionary and innovative smart glasses at Mobile World Congress 2023 under the name Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glass Discovery Edition. The company presented a prototype which, although it offers powerful and very advanced hardware, has a particularly bizarre design…
Without a doubt, Apple should take note of first impressions one of the first people who was able to test the Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glass Discovery Edition prototype. But, although it is not yet a marketable product, it must be admitted that its design is not the most beautiful in the world.
Xiaomi, although the monkey is dressed in silk…
The prototype of the Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glass has two micro-LED screens
The vast majority of the media agree that the design of this Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glass prototype is not the most appropriate. Honestly, they look like some kind of fusion between glass bottom goggles and binoculars.

While in Xiaomi’s promotional images the smart glasses look sleek and futuristic – how well played with lighting and shadows – when you put Xiaomi’s AR smart glasses on an ordinary user, well, the truth is that the result is not as exciting as it seemed. .

The Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glass Discovery Edition have a very light design thanks to the use of materials such as a magnesium-lithium alloy, carbon fiber and electrochromic lenses. In fact, they weigh only 126 grams.
On the other hand, Xiaomi’s smart glasses were developed on the platform Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1, which gives the device a very low wireless latency of just 3ms. And they include two screens micro-LED with maximum peak brightness of up to 1,200 nits.
As for Apple, the company has been developing its own mixed reality headset for several years. According to the latest Apple Glasses leaks, they will be able to run iOS apps and that they will have small motors to adjust and adapt the lenses to the appropriate distance of the pupils of each user. Additionally, they might have a magsafe batterynail digital crownAnd H2 chip low latency, a 120 degree viewing angle and would be made with aluminum, glass and carbon fiber. We hope and wish that its hardware is as advanced as in the case of the Xiaomi Wireless AR Smart Glass Discovery Edition, but Apple, that its design is totally different please…
