RayNeo Launches iO Smart Glasses and GT Max Display in Japan

Chinese hardware maker RayNeo, a TCL subsidiary, launched two eyewear devices in Japan. The "RayNeo iO Smart Glasses" (¥89,000) feature green microLED waveguide displays with selectable AI integration via smartphone apps, including free options like RayNeo V1 or Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite, and paid access to ChatGPT 5.5 or Claude Sonnet 5. They include a physical "Smart Crown" for control but lack cameras and speakers. The "RayNeo GT Max" (¥67,980) is a sunglasses-style display connecting via USB-C DisplayPort Alt mode, offering HDR support and Dolby Vision only when paired with the separately sold, later-releasing "Pocket TV Pro." It lacks auto-dimming functionality found in competitors. A lower-tier "RayNeo GT" (¥52,980) was also released but not reviewed due to lack of evaluation units.
