#FinancePH - Paying with a Glance: Alipay+ and Meizu Just Made Smart Glasses Smarter

Imagine walking into your favorite café, ordering your go-to drink, and paying—without ever reaching for your phone or wallet. That future is now a reality, thanks to a groundbreaking collaboration between Alipay+ and Meizu.

In a world-first, a successful e-wallet payment was made using Meizu’s StarV Snap smart glasses via AlipayHK, Hong Kong’s leading superapp. This isn’t just a tech flex—it’s a glimpse into how wearable tech is evolving to make everyday life more seamless.

What Makes This a Big Deal?

The new smart glasses-embedded payment solution allows users to pay using QR scans or voice commands, powered by Alipay+’s advanced AI features like voiceprint authentication and intent recognition. It’s fast, secure, and hands-free—perfect for people on the go.

This innovation is part of Alipay+’s broader mission to redefine mobile payments. Already connecting over 1.7 billion users across 36 e-wallets and banking apps, Alipay+ is now expanding its reach into the world of augmented reality (AR) and wearable tech.

A New Era for Smart Glasses

Meizu’s StarV Snap smart glasses aren’t just stylish—they’re packed with cutting-edge tech. From optical waveguide displays to noise-reduction microphones and camera-based code scanning, these glasses are designed to do more than just look good.

By integrating Alipay+’s payment SDK, Meizu is turning smart glasses into a practical, everyday tool—one that could soon rival smartphones in convenience.

What’s Next?

This isn’t just a one-off experiment. The smart glasses payment feature is set to roll out to more Alipay+ partner e-wallets globally in 2025. That means more users, more merchants, and more ways to pay—without ever pulling out your phone.

As Jiangming Yang, Chief Innovation Officer of Ant International, puts it: “Smart glasses will rapidly transform into the next-gen personal device like the mobile phone.”

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or just someone who loves a good life hack, this is one innovation worth keeping an eye on—literally.
