At CES 2026, Chinese AR pioneer Rokid officially launched its new generation AI smart glasses - Rokid AI Glasses Style. This product completely abandons traditional displays, adopting a "screenless" voice-controlled design, weighing only 38.5g, and positioning itself as a "no-burden all-day AI assistant." With an affordable price of $299 and an open AI ecosystem, it directly competes with the Meta Ray-Ban series and is seen by the industry as a key step toward mainstreaming smart glasses. AIbase takes you deep into the analysis of this potential blockbuster product.

Ultra-light Design: A New Benchmark for All-Day Comfort

Rokid Style glasses weigh only 38.5g, making them the lightest full-featured AI glasses on the market, far surpassing most competitors. The product features high-quality frames and ultra-thin scratch-resistant lenses, supporting various colored lenses and two frame styles (Jet Black at launch, translucent gray to be released in March). More importantly, it prioritizes prescription needs, supporting prescriptions from flat to ±15.00D, covering myopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, and progressive lenses, as well as functions such as photochromic, dyed, blue light blocking, and polarized lenses. Visually impaired users can enjoy a $20 official subsidy. This "prescription-first" design makes Style truly resemble a regular fashionable pair of glasses rather than a bulky gadget, perfectly solving the comfort issues of long-term wear.

Innovative Screenless Architecture: Voice Control + Dual Chip for 12-Hour Battery Life

Different from traditional AR glasses' micro-displays, Style boldly adopts a "screenless" voice-controlled interaction mode, completely freeing itself from the weight and power consumption of screens. On the hardware side, it uses a dual-chip architecture: the NXP RT600 handles low-power background tasks, while the Qualcomm AR1 processor manages heavy AI and imaging computations. This combination provides up to 12 hours of battery life under typical usage scenarios, far exceeding the 4 hours of the Meta Ray-Ban. It also features a 12MP Sony sensor, supports 4K video recording, allows continuous shooting for up to 10 minutes, and offers three aspect ratios (landscape, square, portrait), making it easy to adapt directly to different social platforms without post-editing.

 World's First Open AI Ecosystem: Switch Between Multiple Models Freely

The biggest highlight of Style is its open AI ecosystem, which supports multiple large models such as ChatGPT, Qwen, Tongyi Qianwen, and DeepSeek, allowing users to freely switch between them rather than being locked into a single AI engine. It also integrates Google Maps navigation and Microsoft AI real-time translation (supporting 89 languages), enabling seamless global service access. In the domestic ecosystem, it has integrated payment, insurance, ride-hailing, car control, and health services, and launched the AI Agent Store developer platform, allowing third-party AI agents to run locally. This is hailed as the "world's first open AI ecosystem smart glasses," marking a shift from closed systems to a developer-friendly platform.

 Market Pricing and Launch: Starting at $299, Global Release on January 19th

The retail price of Style is only $299 (approximately RMB 2,099), significantly lower than the Meta Ray-Ban series (basic version already exceeds $300, and with prescription lenses it is even more expensive). Pre-orders are now open, and a $1 deposit allows you to get a $20 early bird discount. It will officially be released on January 19, 2026, through the Rokid website and selected online and offline channels worldwide. The product slogan "Twice the Style" perfectly reflects its dual attributes of fashion and intelligence.
