This week, Huawei\u2019s CEO of Consumer Business, He Gang, confirmed in a <a href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/3097378697\/QzSaCzPXX\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">post on Weibo<\/a> that its first <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/meta-to-smart-glasses-owners-stop-hitting-yourself-2000742835\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">smart glasses<\/a> with an integrated camera will be released on April 21. While we haven\u2019t seen what they look like, everything we do know suggests that they might be awfully similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/ray-ban-meta-gen-2-review-still-the-best-non-display-smart-glasses-2000664295\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Huawei hasn\u2019t share exactly what the AI glasses will do yet, but the confirmation of a camera coupled with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/New-Huawei-AI-glasses-with-translation-tool-could-be-on-the-way.1208405.0.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">early rumors<\/a> suggests a similar feature set and hardware to Meta\u2019s non-display smart glasses. According to a leak from January, the smart glasses will likely center on photography and video as core features, as well as AI, including translation and computer vision that can identify things in your surroundings.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2000743995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/huawei-post.jpg\" alt=\"Huawei smart glasses post\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\"  \/>Note the \u201cHuawei AI glasses\u201d watermark. \u00a9 Huawei \/ Screenshot by Gizmodo <\/p>\n<p>This is pretty much the standard playbook for AI glasses as it stands, and one that\u2019s already been outlined by Meta and its growing Ray-Ban and <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/oakley-meta-hstn-review-sporty-ai-glasses-with-a-confusing-game-plan-2000665008\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Oakley iterations<\/a>. It\u2019s also the general feature set of existing smart glasses in China, including those <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/rokid-ai-glasses-style-review-surprisingly-tough-competition-for-metas-ray-ban-2000716034\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">made by Rokid<\/a>, which even look like less stylish Ray-Ban dupes.<\/p>\n<p>Like the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses and Meta\u2019s smart glasses with a screen, the <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/meta-ray-ban-display-smart-glasses-review-is-this-the-future-we-really-want-2000679520\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Meta Ray-Ban Display<\/a>, the AI glasses are almost sure to rely on your phone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to do almost all of the heavy lifting, though I\u2019m interested to see what kind of integration it has with Huawei\u2019s phones. As is the case with <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/samsungs-smart-glasses-might-not-have-to-do-much-thanks-to-meta-2000734490\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/xreal-project-aura-ui-details-galaxy-xr-warby-parker-gentle-monster-2000696882\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google<\/a>, there\u2019s a major opportunity for phone makers like Huawei to deliver a pair of AI glasses that feels more seamlessly integrated into the smartphone experience.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Huawei\u2019s camera-clad AI glasses are shaping up to be very similar to Meta\u2019s, it won\u2019t really matter much from a business perspective, given the fact that Meta doesn\u2019t currently sell its smart glasses in China. Likewise, Huawei certainly won\u2019t be worried about competing against Meta in the U.S. for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/crs-product\/R47012\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">obvious geopolitical reasons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Huawei will surprise me with a different look or some aesthetic flourish, but for now, it looks like we\u2019re getting exactly what 2026 has already foreshadowed: <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/2026-is-about-to-be-a-blockbuster-year-for-smart-glasses-2000715511#:~:text=Heated%20competition%2C%20legal%20drama%2C%20and,the%20movie%20now%2C%20I%20guess.&amp;text=If%20there&#039;s%20one%20thing%20we,a%20lot%20of%20smart%20glasses.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more AI glasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everyone wants in on AI glasses nowadays, and that includes Chinese tech titan Huawei.
