The '''RayNeo Air 2s''' is an upgraded consumer [[augmented reality]] [[smart glasses]] developed by [[RayNeo]] (a [[TCL]] brand), released in 2024 as an improved version of the [[RayNeo Air 2]]. The major upgrades include a dramatic increase to 5000 nits brightness, quad speaker audio system, improved fit and adjustability, and reduced edge blurring. At $399, the Air 2s positions itself as an affordable yet feature-rich alternative to the [[Xreal One]], delivering one of the best OLED displays in its category.
