1X NEO vs EngineAI T800

1X NEO is a preorder/purchasable home humanoid with unusually detailed official specs and production claims: 5'6", 66 lb, 75 total listed DoF, 22 DoF per hand, 18 lb per-arm payload, 4h runtime, Jetson Thor compute, stereo fisheye cameras, $20,000 Early Access ownership, $499/month subscription, and claimed 2026 U.S. deliveries. Stronger 2026 evidence adds factory production and company-run AI/mobility results, but the decisive caveat remains autonomy: official Expert Mode/remote-control disclosures and WSJ/media hands-on reporting mean household chore completion should not be credited as broad autonomous capability

EngineAI T800 is a full-size bipedal humanoid (1.73 m, 75 kg official) with 29 body DoF excluding dexterous hand, 450 N·m peak joint torque, and a claimed 4-5 hour solid-state battery runtime. It launched on 2025-12-02 from 180,000 yuan with four versions and was demonstrated at CES 2026. In May 2026, EngineAI announced mass production with first batch delivery and a 10,000-unit scalable capability. However, all strong evidence is company-reported. No named customer deployment, autonomous task execution, or independent verification was found. addoobot lists conflicting specs (84.5 kg, 2 h runtime, 1.22 kWh ternary battery) that lower confidence in endurance
