Li Chuangqi revealed that Xiaomi's first AI glasses were quickly out of stock after their release. The team found that sales exceeded their previous expectations by several times, even though they had already "gritted their teeth" to stock up, with a quantity exceeding half of the industry's startup companies' annual volume.
Li Chuangqi also stated that in order to make this project as successful as possible within a limited time, almost all of them chose the most expensive components. Although the current price of 1999 yuan has a gross profit margin, it is still a loss for the overall investment.

The shipment volume of smart glasses may exceed 50 million. As previously reported, the glasses are priced from 1999 yuan and come in three frame options, supporting both offline and online lens matching; Equipped with a 12MP lens, open headphones, Super Love, and an optional electrochromic lens version.
