Mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) is ushering in a new era of connected experiences as the first and only Philippine telco to offer AI-powered smart glasses bundled with a Smart Postpaid plan, bringing the Rokid AI Glasses—with native access to Google Gemini—to more Filipinos. The Smart-Rokid offer will be available beginning Friday, May 29, 2026.
Through an exclusive partnership between Smart and Rokid, this first-of-its-kind bundle marks Smart Postpaid’s expansion into next-generation devices, this time leading the way in the emerging AI wearables category.
New and existing subscribers of Smart Postpaid Plans+ 1499 can avail of the Rokid AI glasses starting at Php28,800 via straight payment, while Smart Infinity members can get the AI-powered eyewear for free at Plan 5000.
Unlock smarter possibilities with Google Gemini
The Rokid AI Glasses are powered by native Google Gemini integration, enabling users to access Google's advanced AI assistant directly through a lightweight, hands-free wearable experience.
With Google Gemini, users can enjoy natural voice conversations, real-time language translation, intelligent search, content generation, task management, and contextual assistance—all seamlessly accessible without reaching for a smartphone.
Whether answering questions, summarizing information, generating ideas, providing recommendations, or helping users stay productive throughout the day, Gemini transforms the Rokid AI Glasses into an intuitive AI companion that responds naturally to users’ needs in real time.
Aside from Google Gemini, the international version of the Rokid AI Glasses was recently updated to integrate other leading large language models into a unified AI platform: OpenAI's ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Alibaba's Qwen. This multi-model capability gives users greater flexibility in accessing a broad range of AI-powered assistance and services through a single device experience.
From sci-fi to reality
The Rokid AI Glasses turn science fiction into an everyday reality, bringing powerful AI-driven capabilities into a lightweight, wearable device designed for how people live, work, and create today.
For content creators, the glasses unlock a new way to capture and share moments through a hands-free, point-of-view perspective. With a built-in 12MP camera and immersive private audio, users can document experiences as they happen, making it ideal for vlogs, social content, and storytelling on the go.
For travelers, the device becomes an intelligent companion. Real-time translation helps break language barriers, while smart navigation and AI assistance provide timely information and guidance, making it easier to explore new destinations with confidence and convenience.
For professionals, the Rokid AI Glasses enhance productivity in powerful yet seamless ways. A built-in teleprompter supports presentations and content delivery, while AI-powered transcription and assistance help users stay organized, capture ideas, and work more efficiently, even while on the move.
Weighing just 49g, the Rokid AI Glasses combine comfort, portability, and advanced AI features, enabling users to stay connected, informed, and in control wherever they go.

“With its powerful, hands-free capabilities, the Rokid AI Glasses feel almost like a ‘superpower,’ enabling our subscribers to do more, create more, and stay ahead.
