In Zhu Mingming's view, this is the real "iPhone moment," and smart glasses have officially entered a new era.

He further explained: Rokid Glasses is a "tool," and Rokid Color is "content." In the past, the industry had not formed a closed loop; today, AI glasses products have formed their own closed-loop ecosystem. In the future, content generated by all other devices will be consumed on AI glasses. Rokid will work with the industry to make this happen within 2-3 years.

To solve the interaction problem, Rokid also released the 1,699 yuan Rokid Color "Leqi Magic Ring," enabling "micro-gesture" midair interaction.

Slide a finger to switch songs, snap your fingers to take a photo, rotate your finger to switch apps, and adjust volume.

Zhu Mingming believes that micro-gesture operation through a ring will become an "industry standard" in the future.

Rokid Glasses 2 starts at 3,699 yuan, with a starting price of 3,199 yuan after national subsidies.

Rokid Ring's "close friend presale price (for users who have bought Rokid glasses and have not returned them)" is 998 yuan.

Rokid Color starts at 4,999 yuan, and Zhu Mingming admitted that this price is "not making money, just making friends."

In an interview after the event, when talking about future industry competition, Zhu Mingming said that when supply chain technology matures, the supply chain will become a "common denominator," and at that point each team's characteristics will be fully displayed. Rokid's characteristic mainly lies in its ecosystem; currently Rokid's ecosystem capability is "the only one of its kind in the world," and Rokid's value as a human-computer interaction platform will become more prominent, rather than as a single hardware product.

Facing the AI era, Zhu Mingming said that basically all of Rokid's capabilities are closely centered on AI; for example, the ring can achieve such an excellent interaction experience, which also relies heavily on AI. Faith in AI is the key to Rokid's ability to take off, and the industry reaching an AI consensus is what created Rokid's current situation.

1. JBD exclusively customizes a "mung bean"-sized full-color optical engine, and the ring becomes a new solution for glasses interaction

The binocular full-color display Rokid Color has its weight controlled at 55g, and its positioning remains "all-weather wear."

At the technical level, Rokid and manufacturer JBD exclusively customized a 0.16cc Micro-LED full-color optical engine. This optical engine is about the size of a mung bean, supports 16.77 million colors, and has a color gamut of 167% sRGB.

How exactly should full-color AI glasses interact? This issue is one of the biggest challenges Rokid faces.

In the industry, there are products such as wristbands, hand bands, and touch rings used with AI glasses, but Zhu Mingming believes these are all transitional solutions. To solve the industry's pain points, they developed Rokid Ring, which he calls "the interaction method of the next era." Its Chinese name is "Leqi Magic Ring."

Rokid Ring's control method is "micro-gesture operation," such as lightly sliding a thumb on the index finger to switch songs, snapping fingers to take a photo, and rotating a finger to scroll through the app carousel or adjust volume.

Rokid Ring can also treat any flat surface as a "touchpad" and recognize "two-finger scrolling," with an operating experience like using a mouse.

It is worth mentioning that this ring also has basic health monitoring and management functions.

2. Optimized comfort for all-weather wear, thinner temples but longer battery life

The first new product released today is the Rokid Glasses 2. Although its features have been upgraded, judging from the exterior design, its temples are even a bit thinner than the previous generation. Zhu Mingming mentioned that this would not have been possible without the support of Qualcomm's latest chip.

In response to feedback from first-generation users, the team focused on optimizing the comfort of wearing the glasses. Beta users of Rokid Glasses 2 gave positive feedback, and the proportion of users wearing them "all day" is higher.

For example, one detail is that the temple design is more flexible, and the opening angle of the temples is 22% larger than the previous generation, accommodating users with more head shapes; the nose pads feel gentler to the touch.

In the optical part, the waveguide traces on Rokid Glasses 2 are fainter and harder to notice in daily use. In terms of data, its lens transmittance reaches 98%, with 98% transmittance in non-grating areas. Reflectance and rainbow patterns are reduced by 70% and 60% respectively, while optical efficiency has instead increased by 30% compared with the previous generation.

The magnetic myopia frame can meet the needs of nearsighted users, and users can get an eye exam and have glasses made in stores. Zhu Mingming specifically mentioned that at the flagship specialty store in Hangzhou, monthly sales can reach 200-300 units, which is very considerable.

Rokid Glasses 2 has made key upgrades in sound quality, supports Dolby audio, and the microphone's wind noise resistance is better. Rokid also added a bone conduction microphone to the glasses.

It is worth mentioning that while the temples of Rokid Glasses 2 are one-third thinner, the battery capacity has also increased by 25% compared with the previous generation, and overall battery life is said to reach about 50% longer.

The second-generation charging capsule, together with the charging case, has a total capacity of 2170mAh, can charge the glasses 6 times, and can charge to 90% in 30 minutes, basically freeing users from battery anxiety.

Rokid offers users Rokid Care insurance at 199 yuan/year and 299 yuan/year.

So how does Rokid Glasses 2 actually perform in use? Rokid product manager Zhang Tao provided an explanation.

Overall, the AI in Rokid Glasses 2 is more agile, smarter, and more considerate. Specifically, its wake response is more sensitive, intent recognition is more accurate, it has long-term memory, and it can also proactively provide intelligent reminders.

In terms of features, Rokid Glasses 2's AI meeting notes support one-click AI recording, summarization, and to-dos, automatically generate to-dos, and support mixed recording in multiple languages.

It is worth mentioning that in terms of accessibility, Rokid Glasses 2 supports proactive reminders and proactive obstacle avoidance; during meetings, the AI can understand conversations, distinguish speakers, and summarize.

In terms of core hardware configuration, Rokid Glasses 2 is the first in China to launch the first-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1+ platform, and is equipped with the Bestechnic BES2900BP chip, adopting a dual-chip architecture. This Bestechnic chip uses a 6nm process.

In terms of photography, Rokid Glasses 2 has upgraded its snapshot capability, with shutter speed increased by 100%.

In addition, Rokid Glasses 2 uses a 1GM5P glass-plastic hybrid lens, and the CMOS remains 12 megapixels. Judging from actual photos, there is less noise in low light and darker details are clearer; portrait mode has stronger resolving power, with improvements in skin detail and facial texture; in backlit scenes, highlights are not overexposed and there is more detail in dark areas.

In terms of video, Rokid conducted a year of joint tuning with Qualcomm and launched the industry's first video "Super Night" algorithm on AI glasses. Simply put, it relies on AI noise reduction and hardware acceleration such as ISP and NPU to achieve frame-by-frame optimization of night image quality.

It is worth mentioning that with Rokid's ring accessory, Rokid Glasses 2 can achieve "finger-snap photo capture."

4. Ecosystem becomes Rokid glasses' key killer feature

Cai Guoxiang, vice president of Leqi Rokid and head of ecosystem, took the stage to share Rokid's progress in the ecosystem.

Cai Guoxiang mentioned that Rokid is not simply a smart glasses hardware company, and that the ecosystem is what can bring the greatest value to users. Rokid has more than 47,000 registered developers, more than 700 agents already listed, and more than 130 AIUI agents listed.

In terms of office work, Rokid cooperated with Tencent WorkBuddy to release the first office agent in the AI glasses field, which can organize data, look up information, and write weekly reports; it cooperated with Qoder to release the Xiao Q agent; and it cooperated with Qianwen Office to connect the DingTalk ecosystem, so users can have AI do work for them with a single sentence.

In terms of life services, Rokid cooperated with Xiaohongshu, allowing users to use Xiaohongshu's Mishu agent through AI glasses to find stores and select products; it cooperated with Meituan, allowing users to scan a code through the glasses to open food delivery locker doors.

Through cooperation with Tencent Travel Services, users can also hail a ride with the glasses.

Rokid released Rokid Prism, a desktop agent AI glasses connector. Simply put, various desktop agents can all be connected to, invoked by, and used to execute tasks through AI glasses.

5. "Except for the North and South Poles, wherever there is land, there are Rokid glasses"; in the first half of the year, it ranked global No. 1 in share of AI glasses with displays

In his speech, Zhu Mingming focused on sharing stories between Leqi glasses and users, from which it is not hard to see how this company and its CEO view users.

Zhu Mingming mentioned that almost 2 hours of his workday are spent browsing content posted by everyone on major platforms and communities, and what he cares about most is whether the product truly helps people in daily life.

In Zhu Mingming's words, on Earth, except for the North and South Poles, wherever there is land, there are Rokid glasses, covering 174 countries and regions. The proportion of tech professionals among Rokid users has already fallen below 16%. In his view, Rokid has truly "broken out of the circle."

According to a Nielsen report, as of the first quarter of 2026, Leqi AI glasses ranked first in brand sales share in the Chinese market for three consecutive quarters.

Conclusion: Rokid submits its answer first, and the all-color AI glasses battle is about to begin

Looking at the entire launch event, the upgrades to Leqi Rokid's second-generation AI glasses Rokid Glasses are more about improving the product experience, while the release of all-color AI glasses brings together the strength of the industry to push the development of AI glasses into the all-color stage. All-color is not just a change in display effect; behind it is an overall change in the AI glasses application ecosystem, application scenarios, and interaction logic.

With launches from manufacturers such as RayNeo and Rokid, the battle over AI glasses has already sprinted into the all-color era. In the all-color stage, what new technical challenges need to be overcome, will all-color accelerate the emergence of "killer" applications in the AI glasses field, and how should manufacturers form their own unique differentiated advantages? We will wait and see.
