Qwen Glasses N1: Alibaba bringt neue KI-Brille für rund 400 Euro auf den Markt

Alibaba unveiled its latest generation of smart glasses, known as Qwen Glasses N1, on Tuesday, signaling its push into the consumer electronics market. As a Chinese all-encompassing artificial intelligence provider, Alibaba covers everything from data centers to software and end devices. At a press event in Hangzhou, the company introduced the Qwen Glasses N1 series.

Prices start at 2,999 Yuan, equivalent to approximately $403, before any discounts. This puts the glasses at a similar price point to Meta Platforms' popular Ray-Ban models, which retail for around $313. Rather than focusing on price, Alibaba aims to differentiate itself through quality and functionality. Similar to Meta, Alibaba intends to position these glasses as an entry point for its AI tools and assistants.

Meta recently expanded its glasses lineup with a simplified model lacking a camera, priced at $349, or around $313, designed primarily for interaction with its new AI assistant, Muse. The new Alibaba glasses boast advanced 50-megapixel cameras and sensors. The top-tier Pro version costs 3,499 Yuan, or approximately $471.
