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.<br />
<br />
== History and Development ==<br />

RayNeo developed the Air 2s to address the main criticisms of the original Air 2, particularly the poor audio quality and limited adjustability. The new model represents a significant upgrade with 8× brighter displays (5000 nits vs 600 nits) and a complete audio system redesign with quad speakers.<ref name="tomshardware">{{cite web |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/wearable-tech/rayneo-air-2s-review |title=RayNeo Air 2s Review: Truly basic AR glasses saved by affordable pricing |publisher=Tom's Hardware |access-date=2025-01-07}}</ref><br />
