RayNeo has launched the V4 AI glasses with a focus on speed and battery life rather than adding new features. The company says that the AI glasses industry added over 200 new features in the past year, yet long-term user adoption of those features sits below 6%. RayNeo’s response was to stop adding things and start fixing what already exists.
The RayNeo V4 introduces a dual-chip architecture that cuts wake time to 0.2 seconds while boosting battery capacity by 57 percent over the previous generation.
The V4 runs a dual-chip architecture pairing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon AR1 with a Hengxuan BES2800 low-power chip. This setup enables faster wake times and voice responses compared to the previous model. The glasses also include a 4-microphone array plus a bone conduction microphone for improved audio capture.
