Xiaodu Pro AI Glasses vs Even G1 in 2026

Xiaodu Pro AI Glasses

The Baidu Xiaodu Pro AI Glasses are camera-and-audio AI glasses with no display (explicitly not AR glasses): 39 grams, titanium hinges, a Sony 12-megapixel camera (4K photo, 1440p/30fps video), a four-microphone array, and prescription-lens support, in Boston and Cat-Eye styles. They went on sale in China on November 11, 2025 via JD.com and Tmall at 2,299 yuan, roughly $322, with next-day delivery.

The AI is genuine and primary, built on Baidu's ERNIE large language model (first-person 'ask about what you see' Q&A, object and calorie recognition, encyclopedia lookup, audio and visual translation, reminders), and made via Baidu's Xiaodu Technology subsidiary; the assistant runs on ERNIE, not on Xiaomi's XiaoAI. They complete the Chinese consumer wearable-AI cohort alongside Xiaomi AI Glasses and the RayNeo V3.

Cap-flag: pricing is China-market CNY (the USD figure is a conversion) and the glasses are not officially sold outside China; the AI is cloud-dependent rather than on-device.

Even G1

The Even Realities G1 is minimalist display HUD smart glasses (44g, magnesium/titanium, looking like ordinary eyeglasses) with a monochrome green waveguide display and, deliberately, no camera, speakers, or audio. It does turn-by-turn navigation, teleprompter, real-time translation, notifications, and transcription well; its 'Even AI' is a thin cloud Q&A wrapper (Perplexity/ChatGPT), placing it at the veneer end of the AI-substance spectrum: the glasses are a good display device, the 'AI' is a light add-on. Pricing is $599 base, plus $150 for prescription lenses and $100 for a sun clip; about 1.5-day battery.
