The introduction of this feature is expected to promote market penetration of smart glasses and create new business growth opportunities for Meizu.

On April 29, 2025, Meizu launched the world's first offline payment function for AR glasses during an event in Hong Kong, integrating this innovative feature into the StarV Air2 smart glasses.

This groundbreaking payment capability was developed in collaboration with Ant International Alipay+, utilizing advanced technologies such as optical waveguide display, voice noise reduction, and camera-based code scanning.

Following its launch, Meizu's StarV series captured a significant 41.5% of the AR smart glasses market, with the StarV Air2 topping JD.com’s Best-Selling Smart Glasses List for three consecutive months in 2025.

Meizu aims to create a comprehensive 'hardware + payment + services' ecosystem, positioning smart glasses as the next-generation smart terminal following smartphones.

By integrating AI capabilities, this payment function not only improves practicality but also enhances the appeal of the smart glasses.

The offline payment function allows users to complete transactions using voice commands, eliminating the need for smartphones and enhancing the overall user experience.

This development not only enhances consumer experiences but also sets new technical benchmarks within the AR glasses industry and its supply chain.

The StarV Air2 features cutting-edge technology, including the world's smallest Micro LED display and optical waveguide lenses, which enhance user experience and clarity.

The launch of the offline payment function garnered significant attention at the Ant International Alipay+ Global Partner Summit, showcasing Meizu's leadership in the industry.

The feature will be gradually rolled out in Q3 2025, with all new smart glasses from Meizu this year including the payment capability.

Meizu is collaborating with major AI models from Alibaba Cloud, ByteDance, and Baidu to further expand the application of AI ecosystems in its smart glasses.
