Hey, what’s up? Everybody. Sami here.
Today we are going to take a quick look at the Xiaomi Glasses Camera.
OK, let me just take it off, bc it looks a bit weird to wear this, right?
First things first, this is basically a camera, just like the camera on your phone.
And if you think this has something to do with AR or even VR,
like you will get a giant-sized projection or something
and you want to use it to watch some porn, you are totally wrong.
Because I thought exactly the same way at the beginning, that’s why I bought it, but
turned out it’s just a camera in a glasses form factor.
But money is all spent, let’s do a video anyway.
Life really sucks.
Anyway here this video is just an unboxing and design walkthrough, I’ll do an in-depth
review video after using it for more time, so please subscribe if you haven’t.
Yeah, turn on that bell notification so you won't miss any video from me.
Let’s unbox it first.
Currently, there’s no other languge for this device, all Chinese here and there,
You see some highlights, some basic information about the device.
And also I’ve checked their App, it's only Chinese too though my phone is the global version.
It's just no other language.
But no worries I’ll walk you through everything just like I did for other Xiaomi devices.
This is all that’s included in the box.
We have the Glasses Camera, a cloth, a Chinese manual, and a pair of lenses,
in case you are shortsighted you can replace them with the correct lenses and install to the Camera.
A type-c to a proprietary magnetic charging cable,
Yes, it's magnetic.
It's strong, I like it.
Also a C to A dongle, how sweet is that?
Just plug in and you are ready to charge.
And of course, a giant box to put all of these contents in.
This is what's inside.
Now moving to the camera.
This looks really like a classic AR Glasses, isn’t it?
But they are different.
We have a giant camera module here that houses a 50MP main and a secondary 8MP periscope camera
which enables up to 15x zoom.
Here on this side is an AR optical display made by Sony.
It’s adjustable.
You can rotate up and down, left or right to find the best viewing angle for the display.
Also there is an indicator.
Beside is the touch area.
Moving on we have lines of holes on the temples, you might think they are speakers
but actually not.
These actually are mics for audio recording.
The nose pads feel soft.
It’s also adjustable, no matter how small or how giant your nose is, it fits all.
In the middle of the bridge, there is a slot for you to put your corrected lenses.
As you can see there is a round of soft rubber that's wrapped the temples.
It's comfortable to wear.
One thing I want to complain is that it’s not foldable, so you have to always hold like this
or just wear it.
This is what it looks like when I’m wearing it.
Gosh, this is a bit exaggerating and really eye-catching and I bet people would stare
at you like you are an alien if you wear one of these on the street.
I really want to put my daughter’s reaction when she first saw me wearing it.
She is 4 and she said what’s that Daddy?
It looks ugly.
Yeah I think my daughter is just being honest.
So I suggest you use it only when you need to.
It’s comfortable though, it’s tight, no matter how I shake, it stays there.
That's great.
Anyway, I just took it around and shot a few video samples, they are all 1080p/30fps,
which is the only resolution they support so far.
Check it out.
As for the in-depth review like usability, pros and cons, whether you should buy it or not,
I’ll just leave them to the next video.
Please let me know what I should include in the next video as well down in the comments.
Thanks for watching and please don’t forget to subscribe.
I’m Sami and I will see you in the next one.
I'm gonna have fun with it.
