Qualcomm hosted its Snapdragon for India XR Day event in New Delhi, where the Xiaomi AI Glasses made a low-key appearance, sparking speculation about a possible India launch. While there was no official announcement from Xiaomi about whether it is launching the smart glasses in India, it’s presence at an event focused on the Indian XR ecosystem suggests that the company might be testing the waters for a future release.
SurveyQualcomm’s XR event focused on the growing role of spatial computing in India and featured remarks from Qualcomm India President Savi Soin and GM, Mobile, Compute and XR (MCX) Business Unit, Alex Katouzian. Both highlighted the growing relevance of smart glasses and spatial tech and how Qualcomm was powering these experiences. In addition, Qualcomm confirmed that Snapdragon chipsets will power a range of upcoming smart glasses in India, developed in collaboration with companies like Lenskart. Xiaomi, however, was not specifically mentioned in the list of partners.

That said, the Xiaomi AI Glasses themselves are already commercially available in China, where they launched in June for CNY 1,999 (approx. Rs 24,000). Weighing only 40 grams, Xiaomi’s glasses offer 2K video recording, a 12MP Sony IMX681 sensor, and feature-rich capabilities like EIS video stabilisation, bone-conduction microphones, electrochromic lenses, and support for live streaming. They even house a 263mAh Surge Battery capable of delivering 8.6 hours of continuous use—double what Ray-Ban Meta offers—charging via USB-C without needing a proprietary case.
The glasses run Xiaomi’s HyperOS, allowing seamless pairing with smartphones, remote camera control, and gesture-based lens switching, all designed to fit into your daily workflow, not disrupt it.
There’s no confirmation yet on global availability or a specific India release timeline. However, Xiaomi’s decision to showcase the glasses during an India-focused Qualcomm event is notable. Whether this was a one-off demo or the beginning of a wider rollout remains to be seen. For now, Indian consumers will have to wait and watch.
