TCL first announced the RayNeo X2 AR glasses at CES 2023 in January. Ordinarily, many would have thought the AR glasses were just a concept product that may not hit store shelves. However, the company has launched the RayNeo X2 in its home market of China where it is now available to pre-order.

hours of continuous usage.
In terms of design, the AR glasses are
lightweight, tipping the scales at just 119 grams. They also include a 16 MP
