Three months after launch, Rokid AI Glasses Style have improved significantly with software upgrades, offering better stability, AI responses, and niche features, though hardware and design choices remain pragmatic rather than premium.
After three months of use, the Rokid AI Glasses Style appear to have matured from an interesting concept into a more capable product. Tech with Spencer said repeated software updates have made the experience more stable, with better Bluetooth reliability, less strain on the phone battery and faster AI responses. Features such as live translation and custom control settings now feel more dependable, while a new “Helmet Mode” suggests Rokid is still adding niche functionality rather than leaving the product static. Reviews elsewhere have reached a similar conclusion: the glasses are more compelling in day-to-day use than they first appear, even if they remain imperfect.
The hardware is still the clearest trade-off. At 38.5g, the glasses are light enough for extended wear, and several reviewers praised that comfort. But the frame shape is not especially refined, with little curvature, and the plastic finish marks easily with fingerprints. That means the model can feel practical rather than premium. TechRadar and Notebookcheck both echoed that tension, describing a strong feature set wrapped in a design that does not quite match the ambition of the software.
The audio and imaging systems are competent rather than class-leading. The open-ear speakers are clear for calls, podcasts and video, but sound leakage is noticeable in quiet rooms. The 12MP camera supports multiple aspect ratios and can record for up to 10 minutes, with some reviewers also noting good daylight image quality and useful first-person capture. Even so, Tom’s Guide and Notebookcheck reported compromises in low light, slight framing difficulties and occasional blur at capture, while wind noise can still affect recordings outdoors.
What has improved most is the software layer. According to Tech with Spencer, early problems with connectivity and battery drain have been addressed through updates, and the AI tools are now easier to rely on. The glasses support ChatGPT and Gemini features for object recognition, translation and navigation, and the live AI functions are presented as a core part of the appeal. Smartglasses-test.de also highlighted translation across 89 languages, with limited offline support, while Tom’s Guide said the hands-free experience is the main reason the product makes sense beyond simple photography.
The accessories and pricing help explain the appeal, but also the limits. The charging case can reportedly deliver up to 10 full recharges, which is useful for travel, yet the proprietary charging approach reduces flexibility. Pricing has also varied by market and review sample, with reports citing $299, $349 and AU$999, depending on region and bundle. Against the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, the Rokid glasses seem stronger on lightness, AI features, recording length and prescription support, but weaker on design polish and ecosystem integration. That leaves them as a practical choice for users who value function over fashion.
