XGIMI is stepping into wearables at CES 2026 with MemoMind, its first lineup of AI glasses, built around a simple idea. You should be able to wear them because you like how they look, not because you’re willing to tolerate a tech prop.

XGIMI says the first lineup focuses on all-day comfort and brief help like translation, summaries, notes, reminders, and contextual guidance.

If you’ve ignored smart glasses so far, MemoMind is trying to remove the usual friction. It’s aiming for a normal eyewear vibe, plus customization that lets you make the frames feel like yours.

Built to match your style

MemoMind’s big differentiator is modular design. XGIMI says you’ll be able to choose from eight frame styles, pair them with five interchangeable temple designs, and keep full prescription lens support. That’s a practical move for anyone who already wears glasses daily and doesn’t want a second set of frames just to get the smart features.

It also gives MemoMind a better shot at looking intentional. Instead of one fixed design, the lineup is built to adapt to your face and your style, which is the kind of thing that decides whether these glasses leave the house or stay in a drawer.

The AI side stays subtle

On the software side, MemoMind runs a multi model hybrid operating system that can pick between OpenAI, Azure, and Qwen depending on the task. The promise is less chatter and more utility, with features designed to stay in the background until you want them.

The lineup shows two approaches. Memo One is positioned as the most feature complete model, combining integrated speakers with a dual eye display for both audio and visual interaction. Memo Air Display goes lighter and simpler with a monocular display, a 28.9 gram target weight, and a charging case that the company says can stretch use up to a full week.

What to watch after CES

MemoMind still needs specifics before it feels buyable. Memo One is expected to cost about $599 and preorders are set to open soon, but there’s no firm preorder date, shipping window, or regional availability yet.

After CES, the most important update will be the full spec sheet, especially battery details, display brightness, field of view, and how usable the audio is in real world noise. If those basics land, customization could be the reason these AI glasses don’t feel weird to wear.

Google could soon let you unlock your Pixel Watch with your phone

If you've set up a PIN on your Pixel Watch, you already know the prompt that shows up every time you slip it back on your wrist. It's a useful security measure, but entering a PIN on that small screen multiple times a day gets old fast. A new report suggests Google may be working on a way to let you skip it.

A new iPhone app can sniff out Meta smart glasses lurking nearby
Your iPhone can now keep an eye on the glasses keeping an eye on you
The Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses and case.

Android users got an unusual privacy tool earlier this year that could alert them when smart glasses were nearby. Five months later, iPhone owners finally have something similar, and its name makes its feelings about Meta pretty obvious.

AntiZuck is a $2.99 iPhone app that scans for Bluetooth signals associated with smart glasses and alerts you when it thinks one is close. It supports devices including Meta Ray-Bans, Snap Spectacles, Amazon Echo Frames, and RayNeo glasses, while the developer says additional hardware is being added.

Apple’s smartwatches will look the same for at least another year, or two
Apple's Series 12 and Ultra 4 are reportedly skipping a redesign this year, leaving chip upgrades and health tracking to carry the entire generation.

For the last few years, every single Apple Watch has looked identical to the last. The Apple Watch Series 11 shared its dimensions and looks with the Watch 10, and the Watch 10 with the Watch 9. Turns out that streak might not break in 2026 either.

So what's actually changing this year?
