On November 27, the Quark AI Glasses were officially launched, with the initial release offering six models across two series: S1 and G1. The S1 series includes three models available in different frame styles and colors, with the lowest price at 3,799 yuan. The G1 series, which focuses more on fashion and lightweight design, offers two frame styles and a sunglasses version, starting at 1,899 yuan. All six AI glasses models are equipped with Alibaba's latest Qwen AI assistant.
On the day of the launch, the Quark AI Glasses S1 became available for purchase on online channels such as Tmall, Douyin, and JD.com. In 82 cities across the country, 604 offline stores will gradually offer services such as lens fitting, product experience, and purchase. Store addresses can be queried through the WeChat service account of the Quark AI Glasses.
In terms of hardware, the Quark AI Glasses S1 features dual flagship chips, dual light engines, and dual-eye display. It is the first in China to introduce adjustable image distance, with brightness up to 4,000 nits, ensuring clear visibility even in outdoor environments. The product is equipped with a five-microphone array plus bone conduction technology, enabling more accurate voice pickup and noise filtering, allowing users to naturally interact with Qwen in noisy environments such as subways and streets.
Regarding photography, the product can achieve ultra-fast capture in 0.6 seconds, record 3K video, and output 4K video after super-resolution and super-frame enhancement. The industry-first Super Raw low-light enhancement technology brings smartphone-level imaging technology into smart glasses for the first time, combined with a dual anti-shake system, significantly improving image quality and stability in low-light environments.
The Quark AI Glasses adopt an ultra-fine temple and ultra-thin frame design, making their appearance closer to regular glasses. Through custom-developed miniaturized speakers and the design of ultra-narrow integrated FPC, the temples are only 7.5 mm wide, making them the narrowest in the world among similar products. The frame is only 3.3 mm thick, about 25% thinner than industry standards. The product also uses a two-dimensional diffraction waveguide solution and high-refractive-index lenses with coating technology, making the lenses more transparent.
To enhance wearing comfort, the Quark AI Glasses feature biomimetic designs on areas such as the nose bridge and ear pieces, perfectly matching the human body curve. The temples are made of titanium alloy using one-piece injection molding, specifically designed for Asian head shapes. Additionally, the Quark AI Glasses introduce a first-of-its-kind dual-battery interchangeable power design, allowing users to quickly replace the battery by removing the temple, solving concerns about battery life. Furthermore, the product provides an integrated lens fitting solution.
The newly launched Quark AI Glasses G1 focuses more on fashion and lightweight, weighing approximately 40 grams. In addition to not having a display, the G1 has the same hardware configuration as the S1 in terms of chips, acoustics, and photography. The G1 series started online reservations on the same day.
Additionally, the Qwen AI assistant in the Quark AI Glasses is deeply integrated into core scenarios of the Alibaba ecosystem, such as Alipay, AutoNavi, Taobao, Fliggy, and Alibaba Business Travel, creating a personalized operation experience. Moreover, it will collaborate with partners like QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, and Flight Manager to continuously enrich usage scenarios. Jin Xian, the product manager of the Quark AI Glasses, revealed that the product will support the MCP protocol in the future, building a developer ecosystem.
