Rokid AI Glasses: Meta's New Competitor?
31 Jan
Summary
- Rokid's AI Glasses Style boast longer video recording.
- Marketing claims of lighter weight were misleading.
- They offer advanced features like offline translation.
The smart glasses market is heating up, with Rokid's AI Glasses Style posing a challenge to Meta's popular Ray-Ban offerings. While initially marketed as significantly lighter, it was revealed the advertised weight excluded lenses, making them only slightly lighter than Meta's devices. Comfort is also a point of contention, with the Rokid design reportedly causing more fatigue during extended wear.
Rokid's AI Glasses Style do excel in certain functional areas, notably offering up to 10 minutes of video recording, far surpassing the 3-minute limit of Meta's glasses. The device also supports offline AI translation for six languages, a feature not available on Meta's current models. These advancements position Rokid as a strong contender, particularly for users prioritizing advanced AI functionalities over comfort and aesthetics.
Beyond recording length and translation, Rokid's smart glasses provide navigation assistance and improved voice assistant responsiveness compared to previous iterations. While audio quality and calling features are competitive, Meta's offering may still hold an edge in overall comfort and sleek design. The battery life is a notable advantage for Rokid, potentially reaching 12 hours of use.
