Editorial summaries

Mentra Live

Mentra Live smart glasses are available for purchase directly from mentraglass.com and are shipping now; Batch 1 sold out and Batch 2 is on sale, limited to 1,000 units per batch. Mentra Live is priced at $349 USD as listed on the manufacturer's website; prescription lens add-on is $99 USD.

RayNeo V3

The RayNeo V3 (from RayNeo, TCL's AR glasses subsidiary) is a camera-and-audio AI glasses product with no display, in the Ray-Ban Meta class: 39 grams, a 12-megapixel TCL co-developed camera (1080p/30fps), and 32GB of storage. It went on sale in China in January 2025 at 1,799 yuan, roughly $249. Its AI is genuine: a customized multimodal large language model via an Alibaba Tongyi Qianwen partnership, with three years of free AI updates, placing it in the genuine-cloud-AI tier. Two cap-flags: pricing is China-market CNY (the USD figure is a conversion, and it is not officially sold outside China), and the vendor's performance numbers (a 1.3-second response time and 98 percent accuracy) are RayNeo-stated, not independently verified. It is the TCL/RayNeo parallel to Xiaomi AI Glasses and Baidu's Xiaodu in the Chinese consumer wearable-AI cohort.
