Ray Neo is set to launch the Pocket TV this month on Amazon for $179. This device connects to wifi and offers a unique way to bring together games and streaming services using Ray Neo AR screen-expanding glasses. These glasses provide the experience of looking at a 201-inch screen from a distance of six meters, which is a significant upgrade from using a cell phone. It is worth noting that only the iPhone 15 can be used with the Ray Neo without an adapter, making it compatible with the latest Apple devices.
The Pocket TV offers 64GB of local storage, which can be expanded with a microSD card of up to 2TB, making it a versatile on-the-go device. The product is an official partnership between RayNeo and Google TV, allowing access to various streaming services such as Amazon Prime, Disney+, Hulu, Max, Pluto, and Spotify. The design of the RayNeo Pocket TV follows a successful trend set by other companies like XReal and Rokid who offer similar pocket TV controllers. The TV-controller metaphor provides a more natural way to browse and consume content compared to using a smartphone.
The RayNeo Air 2, launched in December, was already praised for its design, and the Pocket TV enhances the media consumption experience further. This device offers a big-screen experience in a portable form that is easy to use by simply plugging the C-connection into a compatible device. The screen is bright, large, and crisp, even in sunlight. Although the RayNeo Air 2 stands out among its peers, it remains slightly bulky to be mistaken for sunglasses.
The Pocket TV device includes a 6,500mAh battery, making it a substantial battery pack for the RayNeo XR glasses. This battery capacity allows for up to 5.5 hours of video watching, making it suitable for on-the-go entertainment. Additionally, there are two C-connections available for charging other devices while using the Pocket TV or connecting a game controller. The CEO of RayNeo, Howie Li, states that the Pocket TV is a game-changer in redefining the XR user experience, aiming to create an unforgettable entertainment journey for users.
Users of the Pocket TV can utilize Google Assistant to play music, search for shows, and discover content. It is recommended for users to subscribe to Google TV, as the Pocket TV provides an ideal platform to consume a vast offering of over 700,000 movies and TV episodes, live TV, as well as various apps and games. The collaboration between RayNeo and Google TV aims to build a top-tier XR glasses ecosystem and redefine the possibilities of immersive entertainment experiences in a portable and convenient format.
