Even Realities G1 review: Limited but effective smart glasses

Even Realities' G1 smart glasses put a second screen for your smartphone on your face.

Head-mounted display is a dot matrix dot matrix display that'll leap into life when required.

Tap the temple tips (also known as earpieces) and you’ll be able to speak to an AI to answer questions or dictate a note without touching your phone at all.

The G1 doesn't stumble on the essentials, but I do find myself flip-flopping about how much praise they should get.

There is only one size of the G1 available, and the company says it’ll suit anyone with a pupillary distance between 54 and 80 .

The glasses are deactivated by default, behaving like any regular pair of specs as you go about your day.

Even Realities says the glasses can resist a “splash" or "light rain,” but doesn’t include a specific IP rating.

The G1s support real-time translation of 24 languages, including Arabic , Cantonese , Hindi , Japanese , Korean and Turkish .

The ability to project basic information in your line of sight is enormously helpful when it comes to navigation.

Even AI, at the bottom of the screen, will be available for you to ask questions.
