Forget Meta Ray-Bans: These smart glasses are customizable from the lenses to the frames
The Memomind lineup includes three models, including one under 30 grams. XGIMI, best known for making projectors, announced its first-ever AI glasses series, the Memomind. It consists of three models: the Memo One, Memo Air, and Memo Air Display. Also: CES 2026 live: Biggest news on TVs, laptops, weird gadgets that stole our attention I went hands-on with the Memo One AI Glasses at CES 2026 and returned delighted. They're lightweight, easy to navigate, and eerily similar to my favorite Even Realities G1 glasses, which I reviewed last year and still wear daily. The XGIMI Memomind Memo One AI Glasses (I know, that's a mouthful) are the flagship option. They feature a display on each lens, which use waveguide prisms for a bigger screen. These screens are bright and easily legible in indoor lighting. You get integrated speakers and microphones to chat with the company's AI assistant, which runs on a multi-LLM hybrid OS that automatically selects the "most suitable" AI model for each task, including OpenAI, Azure, and Qwen. Rokid said the same thing about its AI on the new Style glasses, where it uses Azure for translation and ChatGPT for the rest of the AI. Also: The 7 weirdest tech gadgets I've seen at CES 2026 - so far Using the Memo One reminded me of the Even Realities G1 in more ways than one. First, they're lightweight and feel comfortable enough to be worn throughout the day. Second, their functionality is similar -- you can use them to translate, take notes, add reminders, navigate, and get contextual guidance. Third, the app is similar and easy to use. Fourth, their integration with Google Maps for navigation is also "in progress." When you put them on, you're greeted with a dashboard that can be customized through the app. So, you can add notes, reminders, and more alongside the date and time in various pane designs. You can tilt your head up to activate the dashboard. I tried the translation feature and AI search, and both of them worked well, albeit with pauses due to slow internet. You can choose from three frame styles and six color options for these glasses. XGIMI claims they're designed to last all day on a single charge and come with a charging case -- although it wasn't on display at the demo. The Memo One AI Glasses are unobtrusive and fun to use, and XGIMI has two more options in its Memomind range. Those who want the lightest pair possible can opt for the Memo Air Display glasses, which weigh just 28.9 grams. They're close to regular glasses but with a display on one lens and integrated AI features. The Memo Air, on the other hand, only features speakers (no display on lenses), but the prototype is heavier than the Air Display AI Glasses. I loved my short demo of the XGIMI Memo One glasses. I expect it to take this category forward, alongside the new Even Realities G2. A no-camera design with displays that blend into lightweight everyday specs is both functional and fun. Also: The most exciting AI tech I've tried at CES 2026 so far (including a cleaning robot) XGIMI says the flagship Memo One AI Glasses will be available to pre-order "soon," most likely after MWC in March. They will cost $599, with prescription lenses available for an additional charge (unspecified as of now).

Xgimi's New AI-First Smart Glasses Will Come in Three Tiers
Xgimi has announced it's getting into the AI smart glasses game this year, and isn't shy about it. The company is launching three new glasses under the MemoMind family, the projector maker's new AI hardware brand. In a press release during CES 2026, Xgimi posits that many AI wearables "feel experimental or obtrusive," and that its MemoMind glasses are "designed to blend seamlessly into daily life." Following that thread, the company says it focused on smart glasses that are comfortable to wear all day, intuitive to use, and feature AI that "works quietly in the background" and only shows up when it's needed. The AI system involves multiple LLMs in a "hybrid operating system" that will choose the proper model for a given task, be it translation, summarization, note-taking, or more. Memo One is the premium pair, with speakers and displays for both eyes. The company doesn't go into specifics about its makeup in the press release, but an animation at the top of the MemoMind site reveals a bit more about the makeup of the Memo One. It shows displays featuring a simplistic monochromatic operating system in green and Harman-Kardon-branded speakers in the earpieces, along with a touch point or button near the front of the temples, where they meet the frame. Then there's the Memo Air Display, which, at 28.9 grams, are lighter than the Memo One (Xgimi doesn't say by how much) but only have one display. Xgimi doesn't mention speakers in these smart glasses, but does say that they're "fully customizable across frames and temples." They've also got all-day battery and a charging case that can get them up to a week, according to the release. Xgimi also says it will officially announce the third pair, which is "designed to feel even closer to normal glasses," sometime later. The company plans to take preorders "soon," but only offered an approximate price of $599 for the MemoMind Oneâ€"I guess we'll just have to wait on pricing for the Air Display.

The AI glasses you might actually wear: XGIMI MemoMind debuts at CES with a feather-light design
The Memo One will cost approximately $599 with preorders beginning soon. Pricing and availability of the Memo Air Display and the third AI glass model will be revealed later. XGIMI is well-known for its projectors, with the latest being its TITAN Noir Max flagship projector, which it is showcasing at CES 2026. However, that's not all the company is presenting at the event, as XGIMI has also unveiled its new MemoMind hardware brand, which is launching the Memo One and Memo Air Display AI glasses. MemoMind's AI glasses prioritize all-day comfort, intuitive interaction, and AI that operates quietly in the background. The result is a light design that weighs just 28.9g and doesn't feel intrusive or experimental. These are glasses after all, so there's plenty of room for customization, with eight frame styles and five interchangeable temple designs, along with full prescription lens support. XGIMI also promises full-day battery, and the glasses come with a charging case that extends use up to a whole week. MemoMind's AI glasses run on a multi-LLM hybrid OS that automatically selects the "most suitable" AI model for each task, including OpenAI, Azure, and Qwen. Users can look forward to features like translation, summarization, note-taking, reminders, and contextual guidance. Despite being AI-centric, XGIMI promises that interactions are kept brief, relevant, and unobtrusive. The Memo One is expected to be priced at approximately $599, with preorders opening soon. Details on other models will be revealed at later dates.

Xgimi debuts three AI smart glasses models under its new brand, Memomind
Xgimi is relying on its years of experience in professional projection technology to fuel a new smart glasses brand called Memomind, and it's already releasing three different models. Xgimi confirmed at CES 2026 that Memomind would offer three different glasses models, with only two with a concrete release period. The brand is in its infancy, but Xgimi appears to have seen a void in need of filling in the smart glasses industry, which is also incredibly new in itself. The first model, called the Memo One, will offer an experience closer to what users think of when they hear "smart glasses." That includes speakers and a dual-lens display, allowing for both eyes to see Memomind's OS in full. Memomind notes that the Memo One will be aimed at users who want the most out of their smart glasses, as far as technology goes. There is, however, a strong subset of users who want smart glasses that feel and look like traditional glasses, like me. The second model will have its targets on that niche, with a single monocular display and customizable frames and temples. Memomind will release that model under the name Memo Air Display. The third model is in the works, according to Xgimi. Beyond that, there are no further details available other than a possible release at a later date. As far as the AI portion of these smart glasses goes, Xgimi notes that they'll run on a hybrid-LLM that picks and chooses from available models to present the best one for the task. For instance, one task might require OpenAI while another might require Qwen or Azure. The glasses will feature functions such as translation, summarization, note-taking, and contextual guidance that operate in the background with minimal digital interference. Memomind's new glasses will be available for pre-order after CES 2026, with a starting approximate price of $599.

MemoMind AI glasses aim to look like your glasses, not a gadget
XGIMI says the first-gen lineup prioritizes all-day comfort and brief, unobtrusive help like translation, summaries, notes, reminders, and contextual guidance. CES 2026 Read and watch our complete CES coverage here Updated less than 0 just now ago XGIMI is stepping into wearables at CES 2026 with MemoMind, its first lineup of AI glasses, built around a simple idea. You should be able to wear them because you like how they look, not because you're willing to tolerate a tech prop. XGIMI says the first lineup focuses on all-day comfort and brief help like translation, summaries, notes, reminders, and contextual guidance. Recommended Videos If you've ignored smart glasses so far, MemoMind is trying to remove the usual friction. It's aiming for a normal eyewear vibe, plus customization that lets you make the frames feel like yours. Built to match your style MemoMind's big differentiator is modular design. XGIMI says you'll be able to choose from eight frame styles, pair them with five interchangeable temple designs, and keep full prescription lens support. That's a practical move for anyone who already wears glasses daily and doesn't want a second set of frames just to get the smart features. It also gives MemoMind a better shot at looking intentional. Instead of one fixed design, the lineup is built to adapt to your face and your style, which is the kind of thing that decides whether these glasses leave the house or stay in a drawer. The AI side stays subtle On the software side, MemoMind runs a multi model hybrid operating system that can pick between OpenAI, Azure, and Qwen depending on the task. The promise is less chatter and more utility, with features designed to stay in the background until you want them. The lineup shows two approaches. Memo One is positioned as the most feature complete model, combining integrated speakers with a dual eye display for both audio and visual interaction. Memo Air Display goes lighter and simpler with a monocular display, a 28.9 gram target weight, and a charging case that the company says can stretch use up to a full week. What to watch after CES MemoMind still needs specifics before it feels buyable. Memo One is expected to cost about $599 and preorders are set to open soon, but there's no firm preorder date, shipping window, or regional availability yet. After CES, the most important update will be the full spec sheet, especially battery details, display brightness, field of view, and how usable the audio is in real world noise. If those basics land, customization could be the reason these AI glasses don't feel weird to wear.

XGIMI's MemoMind Glasses come with AI and a Modular Design - Phandroid
XGIMI Goes Beyond the Screen at CES 2026 with MEMOMIND, Its First Pair of AI Glasses It's safe to say that there's no shortage of cool tech products at this year's CES 2026 convention, with tons of brands showcasing the latest hardware (and software that they have to offer). That in mind, XGIMI -- usually known for its projectors -- unveiled MemoMind, its new line of AI-powered wearables. The lineup includes two models, one of which is the flagship Memo One with dual-eye displays and built-in speakers for both visual and audio interaction. There's also the more minimalist Memo Air Display which weighs only 28.9 grams and uses a single-eye monocular display to provide essential information. Both models are powered by a hybrid operating system that can select between a handful of AI models (such as OpenAI, Azure, or Qwen) to handle tasks like real-time translation, note-taking, and contextual reminders. In addition to the AI features, the new MemoMind wearables will come with a modular design with eight frame styles and five interchangeable temples, allowing users to better personalize their look with support for full prescription lenses. The MemoMind glasses also feature batteries that can last a full day and a charging case that extends total use to an entire week. The Memo One is expected to be available for preorder soon at a price of approximately $599, with additional models to be launched at later dates.

These are the first smart glasses I've tried that I could actually wear all day
The MemoMind AI glasses look almost indistinguishable from normal specs. Plus, they're light, comfortable, and offer every feature I want I've worn my fair share of smart glasses over the past couple of years, but most of them have ended up stuffed in a drawer next to a tangle of USB-C cables. I even went as far as putting my prescription in the Meta Ray-Bans, but they're just too uncomfortable. So when MemoMind, a new offshoot from projector brand Xgimi, asked me to put its AI-powered specs on my face, I wasn't expecting much. But instead, I found myself thinking that I could actually wear these all day. For a start, MemoMind's glasses don't look like a piece of tech, unlike every other pair I've tried. Rather, they look like normal specs - lightweight, understated, and dare I say stylish. That part's up to you, since you can essentially build your own frames, with eight frame styles, five swappable temples, and full prescription support. The Memo Air Display clocks in at just 28.9 grams. That's lighter than most traditional eyewear and yet it crams in a monocular display, battery, and plenty of AI smarts. MemoMind hasn't crammed in features just for the sake of spec sheet glory. Instead, everything here feels like it was designed with actual use in mind. The Air Display's single-eye setup serves up just the right amount of visual info without turning your glasses into another screen. Memo One, the more feature-packed sibling, adds speakers and a dual-eye display for those who want the full experience without strapping a tablet to their face. MemoMind's operating system uses multiple AI models, picking between OpenAI, Azure, and Qwen depending on what you're asking. You get features like translations, summaries, reminders, and the answer to ask any question. There's even a nifty "Question & Answer" feature that displays the answer to any question on the display. I'll definitely be wearing them text time I play trivia. Of course, it also pairs to your phone to sync your calendar and notifications, while you can play music and take phone calls. Battery should last a full day, and with the included charging case, you can stretch that out to a week before needing to think about power again. MemoMind showed of its range of smart glasses at CES 2026. Preorders for the Memo One will begin within the next two months, priced at $599. The other models will follow shortly after.
