Rokid AI Glasses Style Review: Smart, Light and Surprisingly Capable

Rokid AI Glasses Style Review

Rokid AI Glasses Style take a refreshingly straightforward approach to smart glasses. There is no display floating information in front of your eyes and no attempt to turn regular glasses into a miniature spatial computer.

Instead, Rokid gives you a camera, microphones, open-ear speakers and AI inside a frame weighing just 38.5 g. The result feels closer to combining wireless earbuds, a POV camera and an AI assistant than wearing traditional AR glasses.

That simplicity is both the Style’s biggest strength and its biggest limitation.

Comfort is the star of the show

Weight matters enormously with smart glasses because even excellent technology becomes useless if you want to take it off after an hour.

Rokid has done particularly well here. The Style weighs only 38.5 g before lenses, and independent reviewers repeatedly found the glasses comfortable during longer periods. Soft nose pads also help keep them secure without putting excessive pressure on the nose.

The actual styling is more divisive. Some owners like the Wayfarer-like shape, while TechRadar felt the glossy plastic construction looked closer to inexpensive 3D cinema glasses than premium eyewear.

Given that smart glasses spend their entire life sitting in the middle of your face, that matters more here than it would on a smartwatch.

AI is genuinely useful

Rokid supports both ChatGPT and Gemini, giving the Style a welcome degree of flexibility. You can ask questions, identify objects through the camera, get information about what you’re looking at and use voice-guided navigation through the Hi Rokid app.

Translation is another potentially valuable feature, particularly when travelling.

The catch is that these features are completely audio-first. There is no in-lens display, so translated text, navigation arrows, notifications or AI responses cannot magically appear in your field of view.

If you want visual smart glasses, this is the wrong Rokid model.

The camera is good — within limits

The 12MP Sony IMX681 camera captures 3024 × 4032 photos and video at up to 3K/30fps. Digital Camera World found its images vibrant with natural-looking colours, while Notebookcheck reported good results in daylight.

It’s great for grabbing quick first-person moments when pulling out a smartphone would be inconvenient.

Low light is another story. Image quality becomes grainier, and the off-centre camera position can make composition tricky. Because there is no display, you also cannot preview your framing before taking the shot.

Battery depends heavily on what you do

Rokid advertises up to 12 hours of everyday use from the 210mAh battery. In heavier real-world use involving AI, calls, music and camera capture, TechRadar experienced closer to five or six hours.

Notebookcheck measured about six hours of music, two hours of continuous translation and roughly 40–45 minutes of continuous video recording.

That’s respectable for something this light, although the proprietary magnetic charging connection is less convenient than simply plugging in USB-C.

The Canadian price changes the equation

The Style has often been positioned internationally as a cheaper alternative to Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

That argument doesn’t currently work quite as neatly in Canada.

As of September 2026, Rokid lists the AI Glasses Style for CA$549, while Ray-Ban Canada’s Meta Gen 2 Headliner starts at CA$519. Rokid is running Canadian launch promotions, but the headline price nevertheless makes this a much closer fight than its lower US promotional pricing suggests.
