Alibaba’s Qwen AI Glasses Officially Hit the Market

The Qwen AI Glasses G1 officially hit the market after generating long

queues and strong buzz at MWC 2026. Praised by CNET as “lightweight,

comfortable, and practical - Meta should watch out,” the smart eyewear is now

drawing widespread market interest with its sleek design and compelling price point.

Positioned as a “wearable AI terminal,” the G1 packs dual flagship chips, a dual-

system setup, 64GB of onboard storage, and weighs just 41 g. Built for the outdoors,

it features bone conduction audio and Super RAW low-light tech for clear shots at

night. The right temple supports hot-swappable batteries for uninterrupted use, and

the Wellington frame comes with Zeiss anti-blue light plano lenses. Activity-focused

“Multi-color Editions” and seven colored lenses are also available.

Priced at 2,899 CNY, the glasses are now available across online and offline channels.

Through limited daily “Qwen Lucky Coupons” on Taobao, Tmall, JD, and Douyin,

plus government subsidies, the price can go as low as 1,997 CNY. In a neat touch,

users can simply say “I want to buy Qwen Glasses” in the Qwen app to complete

voice-activated ordering, with same-day delivery in some cases.

By the end of this month, deeper Qwen app integration will allow users to order food,

book hotels, or hail a ride directly through the glasses. Song Gang, Head of Qwen AI

Hardware, noted, “2026 is the year AI defines hardware - and we’re embedding AI

into everything.” The product is slated for international release later this year.
