I tested the MemoMind One AI smart glasses — and I think I’m seeing double

Smart glasses with display tech are going through a bit of an awkward teen phase — smart, but a bit too big to wear on your face. But there are some subtle options out there.

Chief amongst them are the MemoMind One AI Smart Glasses, which pairs stylish looks with a waveguide display and on-board AI to replace the need to take that phone out of your pocket.

But here’s the thing…I swear I’m seeing double here because from the features to UI elements, these are extremely similar to the Even Realities G2.

The only differences I’ve noticed are that MemoMind packs speakers in the back, and the “Conversate” feature that saved me from almost certain pain when I stopped listening to my fiancée is named “Conversant” here.

That’s not to say it’s a bad thing. Ideas are very regularly shared across gadgets, but the main question at this point is simple: do these bring anything significant to the table to add more value to that $599 price tag for fashionable display glasses? Let’s take a look at what you get here.

More styles — more tech

So the main differences here come with the multiple styles available. The G2 gives you two options — either rounded frames (which do kind of make me look like a “Harry Potter” character) or squared off.

For MemoMind, you’ve got eight distinct styles and interchangeable temple designs. This modularity does make them heavier at around 45g (compared to the G2’s 36g), but this didn’t create any overtly negative pressure on the tops of my ears. Weight still feels pretty evenly distributed between the back and the front.

Then comes the audio — G2 has nothing, and MemoMind packs dual integrated speakers tuned by Harman Kardon, which did a decent job in audio playback in the very loud surroundings of the MWC 2026 convention center. Though it’s worth noting that it does hit the battery life a little harder with the company claiming 16 hours on one charge vs the G2’s two days.

Wider AI access

But to the end user, probably the biggest differentiator is in the choice of AI to use here. Even AI is a proprietary LLM that powers a lot of the G2’s features, and it’s well-built for the job. But MemoMind One supports multiple — a hybrid system that automatically picks the right model for the right job between OpenAI, Azure and Qwen.

It will be interesting to see what the results of these differing strategies will be. Did Even Realities get it right tailor-making something from the ground up for its hardware? Or is the supermarket sweep for the best models the best approach (ask your British mates about that reference)?

More of the same

But outside of that, you’ll find these are both close to identical. Dual-eye monochrome (green) displays with a similar UI (can be customized on the MemoMind One though), a Magnesium/Titanium build, customization for prescription lenses and even that sunglasses lens attachment.

So more of the same but different in its own way too. And it’s exciting to see this level of unobtrusive smart glasses tech start to build — especially as nobody really notices you’re wearing these in particular.
