Smart glasses are a major trend this year at CES 2026, and although TCL has been in this space for a while, its RayNeo glasses haven’t made as many waves as competitors like Meta Ray-Ban and Xreal. That could be about to change. At CES, the brand announced the upcoming launch of the TCL RayNeo Air 4 Pro, which features an HDR-capable Micro-OLED display and Very competitive price.

The TCL RayNeo Air 4 Pro will officially launch on January 25 for $299, which is significantly less than similar AR smart glasses. Not only that, but TCL says the Air 4 Pro is the world’s first AR glasses to support HDR10 technology.
The Air 4 Pro works like other augmented reality glasses, and must be linked to a smartphone or laptop connected via USB-C. It projects a virtual screen into the surrounding environment, allowing you to bring an extra screen with you wherever you go.

I had the opportunity to view the glasses before their official launch, and the display was surprisingly clear, bright, and colorful. I tested the Xreal One Pro AR glasses a few months ago, and the difference in display quality was immediately noticeable. Although the Xreal display can be a bit dim, the new RayNeo AR glasses were almost too bright.

In addition to the impressive Micro-OLED display, the glasses feature Bang & Olufsen speakers and 3D AI video conversion, though I wasn’t able to test these capabilities during the demo.
The TCL RayNeo Air 4 Pro glasses have an impressive spec list as well:
-
an offer: 0.6-inch SeeYa Micro-OLED display
-
Processor: Vision 4000 processor
-
brightness: Up to 1200 nits
-
Color accuracy: 98% DCI-B3
-
Refresh rate: 60 to 120 Hz
-

In addition to the RayNeo Air 4 Pro, TCL also showed off the RayNeo X3 Pro Project eSIM, a new concept pair of AR glasses with a built-in eSim. TCL says the RayNeo Of course, these are likely to be very Expensive, with the just-launched standard RayNeo X3 Pro without eSIM priced at $1,299.
However, untethered AR glasses have clear benefits. It also looks a lot cooler than some of the other alternatives, which I think is self-evident in the photos I took of the demo.
