At CES 2025, Lenovo unveiled the Legion Glasses 2, boasting improved display features and a quicker refresh rate compared to the previous version.
SPECIFICATIONS
Scheduled for launch in February 2025 and priced at $399, the Legion Glasses 2 from Lenovo was announced at CES 2025. These AR spectacles, primarily designed for gaming and video watching, connect to devices like the Lenovo Legion Go via a USB-C interface.

The technical specs of the Legion Glasses 2 are listed below:
- Micro OLED display providing a 1920 x 1080 resolution for each eye
- Refresh rates of 60, 90, and 120 Hz
- Maximum brightness reaching 800 nits
- Field of vision at 43.5 degrees
- Contrast ratio of 200,000:1
- Integrated speakers and twin microphones
- Lightweight at only 65 grams
Enhancements from earlier iterations include a remarkable increase in brightness from 270 to 800 nits and a decrease in weight from 96 grams to 65 grams. Moreover, the latest version accommodates refresh rates of up to 120 Hz, an improvement from the prior cap of 60 Hz.
INDUSTRY IMPACT
Competing with Xreal
Lenovo has established its presence in the display headset market, beginning with the release of the Lenovo Glasses T1 in 2022, which functioned as a virtual monitor for mobile devices, supporting full-HD resolution for each eye across multiple operating systems, including Android, Windows, macOS, and iOS.
The launch of the Legion Glasses 2 places Lenovo in competition with established brands such as Xreal, RayNeo, and Rokid. While Xreal has recently introduced a new lineup of devices equipped with native 3-DoF tracking and basic AR capabilities, Lenovo seeks to incorporate the Legion Glasses 2 into its gaming ecosystem, which also features the recently announced Lenovo Legion Go S handheld.
