These Good Glasses Make Posting Straight to TikTok Much less Annoying

In the event you thought that Meta made essentially the most social media-friendly smart glasses cash should buy, you would possibly wish to suppose once more. Rokid, a wise glasses purveyor out of China, unveiled its Rokid Ai Glasses Type (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 best side ratios for the digital camera.

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

Now, whether or not you’ll get clocked within the face whereas making an attempt to movie utilizing your new good glasses is one other query solely, however at the least the cropping half can be simple.

Whereas side ratios is likely to be extra conducive for social media, the Rokid Ai Glasses Type are about the identical within the digital camera division as different good glasses. They’ve a 12-megapixel sensor, which is identical 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 Type don’t have a display 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 someway 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/normal 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 quite a bit to be desired (it barely understood a phrase I mentioned). On paper, at the least, the Rokid Ai Glasses Type seem like a fairly respectable different to the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses.

And befitting the “Type” title, the AI Glasses Type will are available two body colours and work with 11 interchangeable colourful lenses. The good glasses additionally assist 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.
