Notes
- 1.Display type. An ultrathin, high brightness AR waveguide lens developed by Cellid, paired with an sRGB Micro-LED display engine [OFFICIAL, cellid.com/en/news/20250109]. The official exploded diagram shown on Cellid's CES 2026 stand has two identical sets of light engine, waveguide and ECD, one per eye, which confirms binocular optics.
- 2.Chip. Officially given as AI processing over Cortex-A32 and Cortex-M55 cores. No commercial name for an integrated SoC, such as a specific Qualcomm or MediaTek part, has been disclosed [OFFICIAL, cellid.com/en/news/20250109].
Cut 3 of the catalogue scope sets the consumer price to null for an OEM platform: the HJ1 is a reference design that Cellid demonstrates with ODMs in the Foxconn group (Jorjin Technologies, GIS) so that third party brands can build a consumer product on top of it, and it is not sold to end users. No price appeared on any official page opened in this pass, which fits that nature.

Our review
For
- Cellid rates the waveguide at up to 2000 nits, brighter than most glasses in this batch
- The official exploded diagram confirms binocular optics, one light engine per eye
- It ships with detachable myopia lens inserts for wearers who need correction, per Cellid
- At 46 grams it stays light despite full color and an eye-tracking module, per Cellid's own sheet
Against
- There is no price and no release date: Cellid builds it only for other brands to manufacture
- No SDK or developer documentation exists yet, since there is no shipping product to build for
- No brand had announced a retail product built on the HJ1 platform as of this research
- The SoC is named only by its processor cores, Cortex-A32 plus Cortex-M55, with no chip brand given
HJ1 is not a product for sale. Japan's Cellid showed it at CES 2026 as a reference design built with Foxconn Group manufacturers Jorjin Technologies and GIS, meant for other brands to turn into their own retail glasses.
Cellid rates the binocular sRGB Micro LED waveguide at up to 2,000 nits, and its own exploded diagram confirms one light engine per eye plus a detachable myopia lens insert on each side. The frame weighs about 46 grams, with an eye-tracking module and a Cortex-A32 plus Cortex-M55 core for on-device AI, no commercial chip brand named.
Because HJ1 is a manufacturing showcase, Cellid discloses no price, no release date and no software development kit. No brand had announced a retail product on this platform as of this research, so there is nothing yet to buy, test or write code for.
Verdict
No independent review of this device has been found as of 06/09/2026, and none is likely: Cellid built the HJ1 as a reference design for other brands to manufacture, not a product anyone can buy, so there is nothing yet to test or to code for.
