Chinese tech company Alibaba has introduced its Quark smart glasses in the Chinese market. The Quark glasses feature swappable batteries, setting them apart from competing products.
The Quark AI glasses come in two versions: the flagship S1 and the lifestyle-focused G1, available in various colors and lens options. The S1 model is priced at 3,799 yuan ($537), while the G1 is offered at 1,899 yuan ($268). The S1 boasts clear micro-OLED displays.
The glasses are equipped with bone conduction microphones, built-in cameras, and a dual-battery system that provides up to 24 hours of battery life. They are powered by Alibaba’s AI model Qwen and a dedicated app, enabling voice and touch controls.
Alibaba plans to integrate the Quark glasses with its Alipay and Taobao apps, as well as music streaming services like QQ Music and NetEase Cloud Music. The smart glasses will offer features such as real-time translation, instant price recognition, navigation assistance, and meeting transcription.
While international availability is expected next year, specific markets have not been disclosed. The introduction of these AI-powered wearables signifies a competitive move in the consumer tech space, with companies like Meta and Apple also active in the market.
