- TCL presented three new smart glasses at CES 2025
- Two feature AR capabilities, the other is for AI and video capture.
- No precise details regarding the price or release date have been shared yet.
As someone who has tried many smart glasses, I know firsthand how much variety there is in this sector of technology: despite being under the same umbrella, there is a lot of similarity between the specifications of Halliday, Ray-Ban Meta glasses, Xreal Las One Pro AR glasses, like those found among electric cars, bicycles, and scooters, are called “electric vehicles,” so companies typically focus on one type at a time. However, TCL isn’t afraid to approach smart glasses from all angles and announced three very different smart specs at CES to suit every type of smart glasses user.
The most impressive is the RayNeo The
This allows you to see apps and notifications in your field of view, and in my demo, I could see how the RayNeo X3 Pros could help me on my next trip thanks to their real-time translation. My demo with them was brief, but I was very impressed and put the standard Ray-Ban Meta specs a little to shame.
Although if you want a simplified, screen-less approach, you’ll look to the RayNeo V3. They eliminate screens, but come equipped with a 12MP Sony IMX681 sensor to facilitate first-person content capture and voice-guided information, which is transmitted through the device’s speakers and three built-in microphones.
The most impressive thing was how thin these glasses look (noticeably thinner than Meta’s Ray-Bans) and how light they are (just 39g). I’d love to try wearing them for a full day to verify my suspicions, but they might be the best smart glasses for comfort while still having useful tools.
Finally, you have the RayNeo Air 3 specifications focused on entertainment. Like other similar AR smart glasses, you connect them to a compatible USB-C device via a cable so that the device’s screen appears as a huge floating window in front of you – a 201-inch virtual screen to be precise.
With built-in speakers to boot, these specs are an upgrade from the RayNeo Air’s previous smart specs giving you a portable home theater setup that’s ideal for making your trips fly by. I’ll want to test them out further, but if I could, I would have never left the demo and spent all day playing. Mario Odyssey with them.
We’re still waiting for details on pricing for all of these glasses in the RayNeo CES 2025 lineup, but TCL says they’ll be revealed closer to their respective launches. The X3 Pro and Air 3 will launch first in “mid-2025” and the V3 will land “later in the year.”
