A NEW AR GLASSES CHALLENGER??? - TCL NXTWEAR S Review

- Augmented Reality is cool and all, but I'm still searching for the perfect Head-Mounted Display for a Steam Deck or ROG Ally to serve as the ultimate mobile display. The XREAL Air and Rokid Air offer some seriously impressive specs, but there's now a third challenger. TCL introduces the RayNeo NXTWEAR S, a 1080P/60 Micro OLED AR display, and it's priced to compete. But how well does it hang with the competition?
But first... What am I drinking???

Proprietary plug is 100% a nonstarter. I'm quite happy with my Xreal Airs, though I do hope that the vertical FOV increases so the sweet spot is less narrow and maybe open up to 'larger' displays. Maybe Apple entering the space will spark up some more ambitious AR glasses in the near future?
I completely agree. I have a set of (Nreal) Xreal Airs with the Xreal beam, and I love them. I also believe some competition is healthy.
Hi ya, any idea what the max IPD setting is in Nreal glasses? I’m a hammer head, 73.5 IPD over here. VR has been a nightmare, I’m hoping there’s something in the AR space that might do it for me.
I really am only looking for a larger display for my hand held content. Anyhow, thanks for your time.
Yep, that is a no from me too. On their advertising they don't show it either. Shady as hell.
I seen XREAL will have their next gen AR glasses available in Nov.
Hopefully they see you and seed. im very interested in getting a pair soonish and want an impartial review.
I've got a set on the way :-)
I wonder why no one has tried to license Shokz' bone conduction tech with one of these AR glasses displays? That seems like such an obvious pairing to me, but I can't wear both at once very easily.
Oh man, the Blue Windows background glowing through the sunglass covers makes me think these could be a wonderful part of a Halloween costume. You could have glowing colorful eyes shining through your glasses 😀
Okay, something like that, with a handheld PC, running an executable that simulates a 3D HUD that is populated by your cloud based calendar, with an AI enhanced assistant that can behave more like a human assistant in that it can interrupt you to remind you when you need to leave to get to meetings and keep track of life more naturally with vocal commands is the endgame for AR that makes life better.
Not good for desktop use makes it a no-go for me. I really want one pair for programming. The idea of a huge monitor would be fantastic.
not yet there, on all glasses it's hard to read text
The only upside to the proprietary plug is that you know it's the right one for the job. You don't have to test and/or label each of your cables that terminate in a USB-C connector to see which ones have the right pins connected to get DP-Alt to work.
As for the device itself, it's a good first effort, and my experience with TCLs other products makes me hopeful that their next generation will improve, should they deem making a next gen a good idea.
It’s so interesting that this is what they release after seeing what else is available on the market.
Especially at this price point
My Xreal glasses plug into anything with a display usb c out. GPD PC, Steam deck, phones, Rokid station, Apple Mac, I am sure I will find more.
At work, we have an AR setup with the fuel systems and air conditioning systems for the Boeing 777, so the instructor can show how everything works in a 3D model. It's pretty cool.
Would love to see Jeff do a review of the Viture One Cloud
Great depth review! I've just got interested in getting my first AR glasses. Glad to hear some details about pixel and using them has a desktop vs gaming.
My only worry that I have found much info yet RX guys. The worry is that my RX is -11.50 soooo yeah. Time to got thru your channel ot learn more!
How is the 3D effect converting 2D to 3D?
Hey, as a contacts wearer, I love my Xreal airs but it limits my ability to use them in bed or other times when I have my contacts out. I just realized you also have glasses, and was wondering if you had any tips on using HMD glasses when you have a pair of real life glasses? Im nearsighted so without contacts the image is always blurry for me...
they all have the option to purchase perscription inserts.
Thanks for throwing in the price suggestion based on the performance.
Would love to see of version of these that does a pip like screen in the top right vs full screen in front of you. Would use it when doing chores.
The temples are so thick i wish they would attempt a fully standalone pair that has built in batteries and a focus on screen mirroring so they dont have to put too much components inside
Seeing your desktop reflected, or projected.. I keep thinking about Black mirror, and all the tiny soul clones that they use as interface or AI technology.. I feel like I can see the tiny Jeff inside the glasses.. just waiting for his chance to either escape and take back his life, or at the very least sweet Oblivion..
I'm not gonna buy these glasses (might get the XReal Air 2) but I'm interested in the beer. I'm extremely selective about IPAs, but lots of citrus/tropical/pine without being too harsh on acidity sounds great.
Hey Jeff, how well would over-the-ear headphones work with the Xreal Air glasses? My goto earphones when flying(or pretty much any other time) are the Sony WH1000-XM4s; I've never been able to tolerate in-ear earphones for extended periods of time.
The temples on the XREAL air are ~3.8mm thick where they touch your ear. I typically don't wear over the head cans, but it should totally be doable. Less so with the TCLs.
dang, that cable is proprietary, i thought at first it looked like the dozzen or so different 'magsafe' adapters that let you plug in a little nearly flush dongle into a laptop or phone, and get full 10g speeds and up to 100w power delivery(on the larger ones, the smaller ones are 45-60w)
Great video as always - thank you. As a glasses wearer, do you need to put prescription lenses into the AR glasses?
For $450 Xreal just has a better bundle. Not to mention offering 120hz which I am super excited about
In every other headset review, you’ve talked about the mechanism for interacting with prescription eyewear needs. You forgot to do that with this one.
AR is great but what I could really use is a pair of glasses that can be adjusted via software to my prescription and ok we can throw in some AR as well 😏. FYI rogue makes a pretty solid double chocolate stout .
Funny enough the Xreal airs screen it too high and I have to constantly look up instead of looking straight to see the entire screen. It tires my eyes out.
My friends Virtues looks alot better, but they also have that proprietary USB-C cable
I'm waiting for the second part of the x99 system76 build
Working on that this weekend ;-)
I have a tall mid western face. I have not been able to use Rokid or Xreal because I just can't get the image to fit in my field of view without it being fuzzy on the edges.
Wondering if an Apple Lightning to USB-C cable could let you bypass the need for the clunky adapter box for iPhones?
Thoughts on the Rokid Max? It has myopia adjustment, which is very appealing.
Oh my gosh it's like PC principal had a baby with a Portland hipster and got Tron beamed into Deus ex, while also filming a live studio show.. like the moment the glasses go on.. the entire perception of the reality and what it means changes! To support the joke of course which ones are very good but holy crap is that uncanny, I'm sure throughout the production process of this.. I am not exactly alone here in my thoughts.. unless..
Interesting that TCL would have issues with soundquality given that they are a fairly big player in audio.. (Well i suppose that if Sony could struggle with displaytech anything goes really)
Thanks, love your work! @NL
Nice shirt! 🙂
Thanks for this amazing video i have a question. how much distance is between the picture and our eyes and can i change the distance to close or far from my eyes?
Proprietary cables are a deal breaker. Was keen for this device until I saw that.
All these companies sleeping on Geordi's Visor form factor. The kind of nerds dropping money of wearables are also the same nerds that are going to want the visor. 🙋♂️
Yeah I didn't spend over 6 grand for my huge oled to then touch any tiny crap. No need for handhelds of any type vr and ar is just useless to me.
Why click this video? Why leave this comment? Go wag your dick somewhere else.
Could you use these Jordi Laforge style for reading vidoe scripts?
edit: Watched to the end and saw this isn't great for text.
Would you recommend for productivity ?
I wonder if it's worth it at $150
Lost me at no usbc cable on glasses.
Should have given examples of better options
Can you use the beam with the tcl nxtwear s?
Why would I use these over something like the Quest 3? Is it the compactness factor? Genuinely curious.
I noticed I was using the Xreal Airs more than the quest because of its compactness outside my home (less overall bulk for travel). At home quest 3 takes the cake.
Why was usc not fiber? only flexibility?
Xreal air/pro 2 ❤
Would this work with an Xbox? I travel a lot and those hotel TVs suck.
