Lenovo unveils Legion Glasses 2 at CES 2025. The new AR glasses offer a brighter display and higher refresh rate than its predecessor.
Lenovo has announced the Legion Glasses 2 at CES 2025, which will be released in February 2025 for $399. According to Lenovo, the AR glasses are specifically designed for gaming and watching movies and can be connected to compatible devices like the Lenovo Legion Go via USB-C.
The technical specifications of the Legion Glasses 2 include
- Micro OLED display with 1920 x 1080 pixels per eye
- 60, 90, and 120 Hz refresh rates
- Maximum brightness of 800 nits
- 43.5 degree field of view
- 200,000:1 contrast ratio
- Built-in speakers and two microphones
- Weight of 65 grams
Compared to the previous model, the maximum brightness has been significantly increased from 270 to 800 nits. The weight has also been reduced from 96 grams to 65 grams. Another new feature is support for refresh rates up to 120 Hz, whereas the previous model was limited to 60 Hz.
Competition for Xreal
Lenovo is no newcomer to display headsets. Back in 2022, the company unveiled Lenovo Glasses T1, AR glasses designed as a virtual monitor for mobile devices. Even then, they supported full-HD resolution per eye and were compatible with multiple operating systems, including Android, Windows, macOS, and iOS.
The Legion Glasses 2 puts Lenovo in direct competition with established manufacturers such as Xreal, RayNeo and Rokid. In contrast to Xreal's recently introduced new generation of devices, Lenovo intends to use the Legion Glasses 2 primarily to complement its own gaming portfolio, which also includes the recently announced Lenovo Legion Go S handheld. Xreal, on the other hand, offers native 3-DoF tracking, basic AR capabilities, and image and video capture with the One Pro.
