Qwen launches N1 Pro AI glasses starting at 2,600 yuan

Qwen has released its new generation AI glasses, the N1 Pro, starting at 2,600 yuan. The device features an always-on visual perception system that proactively anticipates user needs without voice commands or buttons, and supports eye tracking, blink commands, iris payment, health monitoring, and a 50MP camera.

The 2,600-yuan AI glasses: Qwen makes 'perception' the product's main thread

Version 1 · 1 source

Qwen launches the new-generation AI glasses N1 Pro, starting at 2,600 yuan, featuring all-weather visual perception, eye tracking and iris payment, nose-pad health monitoring, and a 50-megapixel camera; the N1 released at the same time cuts eye tracking, iris, and health monitoring, yet its battery life is 1 hour longer. The real question worth asking is: when glasses begin to continuously 'watch' you, are the capability boundaries and permission boundaries equally clear.

  • The N1 Pro starts at 2,600 yuan, and an N1 was also released at the same time.
  • The N1 Pro carries an all-weather visual perception system, relying on a dedicated vision chip to continuously judge the environment, with the chip's operating power consumption nominally 5 milliwatts.
  • The eye-tracking module inside the N1 Pro's frame is 1.7 millimeters per side, tracks stably across a 0 lux to 100,000 lux illumination range, and controls accuracy within 1 degree in the central region.
  • The N1 Pro integrates iris authentication into the glasses form factor, enabling iris payment, with a nominal false acceptance rate below one in a million.
  • The N1 Pro's nose pad integrates a PPG sensor, and a non-contact temperature sensor is mounted on the bridge, enabling continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood oxygen, HRV, and body temperature.
  • The N1 cuts eye tracking, iris identity verification, and health monitoring, while retaining the 50-megapixel camera, 4K video direct output, all-weather perception, three-chip collaboration, and hot-swappable battery swap; its overall battery life is 1 hour longer than the N1 Pro's.

Questions not yet answered

The gaps left by the source are equally important. The specific release dates and launch regions for the N1 Pro and N1 are not stated in the source; the N1's price is not given, and it is only called a 'more budget-friendly choice.'

At the specification level, the 5-milliwatt power consumption, 1-degree eye-tracking accuracy, false acceptance rate below one in a million, and 8-hour overall battery life are all manufacturer-stated figures, and the source provides no third-party verification. The medical effectiveness of the health monitoring and 'AI healing' is likewise unverified.

In addition, the specific effects and available scope of the 'AI Phantom Mode' invoking cloud AI rendering and AIGC capabilities are not stated in the source. These gaps determine that what can currently be confirmed is the product definition and specification claims, not how these capabilities perform in real use.

Credibility boundary

All facts in this article come from a single source (QbitAI, article_id 22267), which is a secondhand report based on manufacturer release information. The N1 Pro's starting price of 2,600 yuan, the simultaneous release of the N1, the N1 cutting eye tracking/iris identity verification/health monitoring, the imaging and perception configuration retained by the N1, the N1's battery life being 1 hour longer than the N1 Pro's, the all-weather visual perception system, the 5-milliwatt vision chip, the eye-tracking specifications, blink shortcut operations, iris payment, the nose-pad health sensor, the 50-megapixel and 4K 30fps, and the three-chip heterogeneous system are all recorded as confirmed facts as stated by the source. The 272 milliampere-hour battery, the 8-hour nominal battery life, the 700 milliampere-hour battery swap compartment, and the specific approaches to permissions and payment control are relayed from the manufacturer's claims in the source and are treated as source claims. All performance metrics (5 milliwatts, 1-degree accuracy, false acceptance rate below one in a million, 8-hour battery life) have no third-party verification; the N1's price, the release times and regions of the two products, the medical effectiveness of health monitoring and 'AI healing,' and the actual effects of 'AI Phantom Mode' are all not provided by the source.

Insight takeaway

The N1 Pro pushes the competitive focus of AI glasses from 'can it shoot, can it answer' to 'can it continuously perceive and proactively serve,' and the 2,600-yuan starting price and the N1's subtraction version show that Qwen is using capability tiers to segment price bands. But key numbers such as 5 milliwatts, 1-degree accuracy, one-in-a-million false acceptance rate, and 8-hour battery life currently exist only as manufacturer claims, and the specific implementation of permission constraints has not been disclosed either—before third-party verification appears, the true boundaries of these glasses remain to be seen.
