These Good Glasses Make Posting Straight to TikTok Much less Annoying

In case you thought that Meta made essentially the most social media-friendly smart glasses cash can purchase, you may need to suppose once more. Rokid, a wise glasses purveyor out of China, unveiled its Rokid Ai Glasses Model (sure, the “I” is lowercase like Humane’s Ai Pin), and so they have one factor that no different pair of good glasses has: the fitting side ratios for the digicam.

It’s small, however the Rokid’s Ai Glasses Style are the primary good glasses to my data that permit customers to shoot in three completely different side ratios for footage and movies, together with 3:4, 4:3, and 9:16, the final of which is good for Instagram Reels and TikTok. In Rokid’s phrases: “No cropping, no post-editing—excellent for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Shorts, vlogs, journey diaries, and POV storytelling.”

Now, whether or not you’ll get clocked within the face whereas attempting to movie utilizing your new good glasses is one other query fully, however a minimum of the cropping half will likely be straightforward.

Whereas side ratios may be extra conducive for social media, the Rokid Ai Glasses Model are about the identical within the digicam division as different good glasses. They’ve a 12-megapixel sensor, which is similar because the sensor on the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, and built-in picture stabilization so your movies don’t look tremendous shaky.

Just like the Ray-Ban AI glasses, Rokid’s Ai Glasses Model don’t have a display screen and are additionally fairly normal-looking and light-weight. They weigh simply 38g in comparison with the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 AI glasses, which weigh about 50g. Regardless of that weight discount, they’re by some means rated for 12 hours of battery, which is spectacular if it really seems to be true. For reference, the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 ought to get about 8 hours on a cost with intermittent/basic use.

If there’s one factor that I’ll have my eye on with these good glasses, it’s the voice assistant. I examined Rokid’s display glasses earlier this 12 months, and so they left so much to be desired (it barely understood a phrase I mentioned). On paper, a minimum of, the Rokid Ai Glasses Model seem like a fairly respectable various to the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses.

And befitting the “Model” identify, the AI Glasses Model will are available two body colours and work with 11 interchangeable colourful lenses. The good glasses additionally help prescription lenses. Rokid hasn’t introduced pricing or launch date data but. We should always hear extra at CES 2026 in just a few weeks.
