Xiaomi AI Glasses to Launch Alipay “Look and Pay” Feature Around September


ree

Xiaomi’s first AI glasses were officially launched in late June this year, starting at

CNY 1,999. The device is available in three frame styles and supports both online

and offline lens customization. It features a 12MP camera, open-ear speakers, the

Xiao Ai voice assistant, and an optional electrochromic lens version.

According to the latest update on July 31, at the Snapdragon Gaming Technology

Awards during ChinaJoy, Zhang Lei—Vice President of Xiaomi’s Mobile Department

and General Manager of the Wearables Division—announced that the Alipay “Look

and Pay” QR scanning feature for Xiaomi AI Glasses will roll out around September.


As explained in Xiaomi’s official guide, users wearing the AI glasses can complete a

payment simply by saying, “Xiao Ai, scan to pay,” without needing to take out their

phone. The feature supports Alipay merchant QR codes, personal payment codes,

order codes, and some aggregated codes. However, it cannot process payments

involving product selection or additional input after scanning.

Zhang Lei also mentioned that the Xiaomi AI Glasses are equipped with the

Snapdragon AR1 chip, enabling a first-person camera experience.

The Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 platform has been optimized for low power consumption

under thermal constraints, making it suitable for lightweight smart glasses. It supports

direct photo-taking, sharing, or live streaming from the glasses, freeing up the user's

hands.

Moreover, on-device AI enables enhanced audio, visual search, and real-time

translation. The platform also supports heads-up display for seamless content

consumption—including video—within the user’s field of view.
