Today, Honor held its IFA 2022 event where the brand announced three new products—Honor 70, Honor MagicBook 14, and Honor Pad 8—to the global market. The company also introduced its new “Dual Flagship Strategy” with the aim to bring its upcoming foldable and flagship smartphones to Europe and other regions around the world.

Lenovo Glasses T1 are wearable displays that work with computers and smartphones

Jeet — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 06:21:58 +0000

Many companies are working on AR glasses, and companies like OPPO and TCL already have a product in this category. In a similar category, Lenovo has announced a pair of display glasses named Lenovo Glasses T1 at the IFA tech show in Berlin.

The newly announced product from Lenovo isn’t AR-enabled, but it acts as a head-worn secondary display for computers and smartphones.

There’s a high-contrast Micro-OLED display with a Full HD screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. There are two displays, one for each eye, and it also comes with built-in speakers along with TUV Low Blue Light certification. The company also says that there’s an option for custom prescription lens inserts.

Unlike Lenovo’s ThinkReality glasses launched for enterprise users, there’s no computing taking place on the glasses. This means there’s no hand tracking or other such features, and everything is controlled by the device you plug the glasses into.

The Lenovo Glasses T1 comes with a USB-C connection, enabling it to work with a wide range of devices, including Windows, Mac, and Android smartphones. The company also includes a Lightning adapter for connectivity with iPhones.

Coming to the pricing and availability, the company has not yet revealed the price, but it has been confirmed that the Lenovo Glasses T1 will go on sale in the Chinese market later this year and will be available in other regions from next year.
