Huawei officially launched its first AI-powered smart glasses on April 20, 2026, at its “Pura” series and full-scenario new product launch event. This device marks a major evolution from Huawei’s previous audio-only eyewear, introducing an integrated camera and a comprehensive suite of AI execution features.
1. The Breakthrough: Integrated “Vision”
For the first time, Huawei has added a camera to its eyewear, shifting the product from a simple audio accessory to a full-fledged “visual agent.”
- 12MP Camera: Supports rapid image capture in 0.7 seconds, specifically designed for first-person perspective (POV) photography and videography.
- AI-Assisted Framing: The device automatically adjusts the digital frame to ensure the subject is centered even while the user is moving.
- First-Person Video: Enables hands-free livestreaming and recording, positioning it as a direct competitor to the Meta Ray-Ban glasses.
2. Smart Capabilities & Xiaoyi AI
The glasses are deeply integrated with Xiaoyi (Celia), Huawei’s AI assistant, offering several “agentic” features:
- Simultaneous Translation: Supports real-time voice translation in 42 languages, projecting the translated text to the user’s connected device or providing audio feedback.
- Real-Time Assistance: Xiaoyi can “see” through the camera to provide information about surroundings, navigate routes, or act as a teleprompter for public speaking.
- Smart Payments: The glasses support QR code scanning and voice-confirmed payments, allowing for a completely phone-free transaction experience.
