RayNeo V3

RayNeo V3 is a camera-and-audio AI glasses product with no display, in the Ray-Ban Meta class, made by RayNeo, a brand under Thunderbird Innovation Technology in Shenzhen, founded in October 2021 and backed by TCL Electronics. RayNeo is the number-one global augmented-reality glasses brand by third-quarter 2025 share at 24 percent per Counterpoint, raised a $143 million round in January 2026, and has a deep partnership with Alibaba, which integrated its Tongyi Qianwen large language model into RayNeo products and took an equity stake. The V3 sells for about $245 to $255, weighs 39 grams, carries a 12-megapixel camera co-developed with TCL and 32 gigabytes of storage, went on sale in China in January 2025, and led the country's online AI smart-glasses category in the first quarter of 2025 at roughly 50 percent share with shipments in the tens of thousands, placing it at commercial mass-market maturity. Its AI is primary and genuine: the product is built around the assistant and first-person camera with ask-about-what-you-see as the core interaction rather than veneer, though it is cloud-dependent on Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen rather than on-device. The registry records the V3 rather than the RayNeo X3 Pro that the dispatch listed, because the X3 Pro is a display-first augmented-reality device where AI is layered on a microLED waveguide display, failing the AI-as-primary test in the same way as the excluded Xreal. Vendor claims of a Snapdragon AR1 chip, 98 percent accuracy, and a 1.3-second response time are not independently verified.
