TCL has marked its entrance into the smart glasses space with the launch of the NXTWEAR. The pair of smart glasses which was unveiled during an early MWC 2021 announcement doesn’t have an AI assistant built-in nor is it mixed reality glasses like the Microsoft HoloLens. So how does it work?
The TCL NXTWEAR G works by connecting to your phone or computer or tablet and serving as a display. Think of it as a PlayStation VR headset that connects to your devices. It doesn’t have a built-in battery, so your phone or PC is what powers it.
Each lens of the NXTWEAR G has an FHD Micro OLED panel from Sony and provides an experience similar to watching a 140-inch screen from 4 meters away. TCL says the display follows your motion, allowing you to move freely. There are also stereo speakers integrated into the glasses.
It has a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 47° field of view, and a 60Hz refresh rate. It also has an accelerometer, a gyroscope, compass, and P sensor. The smart glasses work with any smartphone, 2-in-1 notebook, and a computer with a DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
The NXTWEAR G weighs 100 grams and the integrated USB-C cable adds an extra 30 grams. There is no price tag yet but when it ships it will include 3 nose pads, a lens frame for corrective lenses, a cleaning cloth, and a carrying case.
