CES 2026: I tried TCL’s new RayNeo Air 4 Pro AR glasses

Smart glasses are a major trend this year at CES 2026, and though TCL has been in the 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 boasts an HDR-capable Micro-OLED display and a very competitive price tag.

The TCL RayNeo Air 4 Pro will officially launch on Jan. 25 for $299, significantly less than similar augmented reality smart glasses. Not only that, but TCL says the Air 4 Pro is the world’s first HDR10-enabled AR glasses.

The Air 4 Pro operates like other AR glasses, and they have to be tethered to a connected smartphone or laptop via USB-C. They project a virtual screen in the surrounding environment, letting you bring an extra screen with you wherever you go.

I got the chance to demo the glasses ahead of their official launch, and the display was surprisingly crisp, bright, and colorful. I’ve been testing the Xreal One Pro AR glasses for a few months now, and the difference in the display quality was immediately noticeable. While 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 AI 3D video conversion, though I wasn’t able to test these capabilities during the demo.

The TCL RayNeo Air 4 Pro glasses have an impressive specs list as well:

  • Display: SeeYa 0.6-inch Micro-OLED display

  • Processor: Vision 4000 processor

  • Brightness: Up to 1,200 nits

  • Color accuracy: 98% DCI-P3

  • Refresh rate: 60 to 120 Hz

  • Weight: 76 grams

In addition to the RayNeo Air 4 Pro, TCL also showed off its RayNeo X3 Pro Project eSIM, a new concept pair of AR glasses with a built-in eSim. TCL says the RayNeo X3 Pro Project eSIM glasses are another world-first, and they have embedded eSIM (4G) connectivity that would let them operate untethered from a smartphone or laptop. Of course, those would likely be very expensive, as the just-launched standard RayNeo X3 Pro without an eSIM is priced at $1,299.

That said, untethered AR glasses have obvious benefits. They also look a lot cooler than some other alternatives, which I think is self-evident in my photos from the demo.

If your T-Mobile service was disrupted on Monday, you may be able to get some compensation for your troubles.

Multiple outlets, including KTLA in Los Angeles, have reported that some T-Mobile customers have been able to get at least $20 off their next bill because of the outage. One Reddit user said they were able to save as much as $80 (spread out over multiple billing cycles) by telling customer service that they missed out on a work opportunity because of the outage.

Generally, it seems that these credits are not automatic, and you may have to personally contact T-Mobile customer service to be compensated for your troubles.

After a major Verizon mobile outage in January, Verizon offered all affected customers a $20 credit.

Millions of T-Mobile users found their phones stuck in SOS mode on Monday afternoon, which led to plenty of criticism of the brand on social media. T-Mobile did acknowledge and apologize for the outage, though it has not explained what happened.

Mashable contacted T-Mobile repeatedly to ask about the outage and its causes, but so far, the company has been silent. The most recent post at the T-Mobile news page is the company’s Q2 2026 earnings report, in which the company saw growing revenue and profits, with total revenue for the quarter of $22.7 billion.
