China’s Xiaomi (1810.HK) has ‘announced’ a pair of smart glasses that are based on a single color (green) micro-LED display that according to the company, due to its ‘higher pixel density and longer lifespan while having a simpler structure” when compared to OLED.  Unfortunately the company also said that they have no plans to put them on sale but are looking at the device as a concept that shows how such AR devices might one day replace smartphones. 
The glasses themselves are quite normal looking but include a quad-core ARM (pvt) processor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a 5MP camera and the tiny (2.4mm x 2.4mm) Micro-LED screen that is said to be able to generate 2m nits of brightness.  The glasses themselves are running on Android and therefore do not need to be paired with a phone and weigh only 51 grams (1.8 oz.), which is exceptional as they contain 497 components, sensors, and modules and a complex light guide and grating structure to focus images on your eye without the mirrors and lenses usually used

​The software is said to understand what notifications the average user wants to see without confusing or over-burdening and allows for direct calling through a microphone and speaker but most impressive is the device’s ability to translate a foreign language document through the camera and allow the user to see the translated image while speaking with a companion or meeting group.  Again we keep in mind that Xiaomi insists it has no plans to commercialize this product, but it seems as if they went to quite a bit of work and detail to make the devices as practical as possible.  Watch the video below:
