Xiaomi Clarifies Smart Glasses Account Status Amid Launch Speculation
Xiaomi's Public Relations head, Wang Hua, has addressed recent industry speculation regarding the company's entry into the smart glasses market. The clarification came after a Weibo account named 'Xiaomi Glasses' surfaced, leading to assumptions that it was a newly launched platform for an upcoming product line.
