When I first heard about Jio Glass, I was curious but also confused. Was it just hype? Or was this the future of smart glasses in India?
So, I ordered one as soon as I could and tested it for seven full days. This is not a techy review full of big words—just my honest experience in simple language.
📦 Day 1: First Impressions
The box was small. Inside, I found the Jio Glass, a charger, a Type-C cable, and a simple manual.
The glasses looked modern and a bit bulky. Not heavy, but you feel them on your face. The build quality? Decent – not premium, not cheap.
I charged it fully before using.
👓 Day 2: Setting It Up
It connects through JioMeet or JioHome on your phone. You need to scan a QR code and follow some steps.
The setup was smooth, but you need WiFi or a mobile hotspot. It doesn’t work without the internet.
You can control things by touching the side of the glasses. A small speaker sits near your ear. It’s not very loud outdoors.
🧑💼 Day 3: Trying Work Mode
This is where Jio Glass feels useful. You can join virtual meetings, view multiple virtual screens, and move between them.
I opened Google Docs, YouTube, and JioMeet in virtual windows.
It’s like having 3 monitors in the air. Cool feature – but your phone still does the hard work. The glasses just display it differently.
🎮 Day 4: Gaming & AR Apps
I tried some basic AR apps from Jio’s store. Few are fun, but nothing major.
I played a mini bowling game and saw 3D models floating in my room. They looked decent, but the motion was sometimes glitchy.
No heavy games. Don’t expect PUBG or BGMI here.
📺 Day 5: Watching Movies
I connected it to YouTube and JioCinema.
Watching videos on a big virtual screen felt awesome. It’s like a personal theatre.
But after 40-50 minutes, my eyes felt a little tired. And the speaker isn’t loud enough in noisy rooms.
Still, it was a good experience for short films and web series.
👨👩👦 Day 6: Family Reaction
I showed it to my parents and cousins. Most were impressed with the tech but said, “Kya faayda iska?” (What’s the use of this?)
They liked the 3D display and meeting features, but it still feels like a luxury product, not a daily need.
⚖️ Day 7: Final Thoughts
Here’s what I think after a week:
✅ Pros:
- Cool design, futuristic feel
- Virtual meetings and 3D windows are fun
- Good for watching videos
- Lightweight, portable
❌ Cons:
- The battery lasts only 2–3 hours
- No popular apps like Netflix, Prime
- Not fully independent – needs phone
- Limited use for daily life (for now)
🤔 Should You Buy It?
If you’re a tech lover or early adopter, go for it. It’s exciting and shows where tech is heading.
But if you’re looking for something practical or useful in daily life, wait for version 2.0. The current Jio Glass is more of a tech demo than a full product.
Verdict: Cool gadget, fun to try, but not yet a “must-have.”
If Jio adds better apps, sound, and performance in the next update, this could become a game-changer.
