Many of us know TCL for its smart TVs, but the company’s reach is expanding. They recently launched the 505 smartphone (featuring a 6.75-inch 90Hz display and Helio G36 SoC). However, their latest product isn’t a TV, phone, or tablet. Responding to the growing AR/VR trend, TCL has introduced their new Vision Pro AR glasses, equipped with 120Hz OLED screens. Here are the details…
TCL Launches New AR Glasses with 120Hz OLED Display
Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro aims to reshape the mixed reality market, but affordable alternatives continue to emerge. One such option is TCL’s new augmented reality glasses. The company, already familiar with this space through its Nxtwear S AR glasses, now introduces the Nxtwear S Plus as its successor.
Affordable AR Glasses with Impressive Visuals
This is an affordable product that doesn’t offer the power of an M2 chip. As a result, it’s limited in its standalone capabilities. Instead, connect it to a laptop or phone via USB-C to enjoy its built-in OLED screens, which simulate a 215-inch screen six meters away. The TCL Nxtwear S Plus boasts a 1920 x 1080 resolution for 2D visuals and an impressive 3840 x 1080 resolution for 3D content.
Bright and Smooth AR Experience
Recognizing the importance of brightness for a seamless augmented reality experience, TCL has increased the brightness to 600 nits, ensuring a clear blend of the virtual and real worlds. The dual displays also now have a max refresh rate of 120 Hz.
Affordability vs. Alternatives
Certainly, price is a major factor when considering electronics. The TCL Nxtwear S Plus costs $399. As a relatively new technology, higher prices are expected. However, for just $100 more, the Meta Quest 3 might be a compelling alternative. Ultimately, the best choice for you depends on your needs.
