TCL RayNeo X3 Pro Named One of TIME’s 2025 Best Inventions

TCL RayNeo X3 Pro, the world’s first mass-produced full-color etched waveguide AR

glasses, has been listed among TIME magazine’s 2025 Best Inventions, alongside

breakthroughs from Apple, Huawei, BYD, and DeepSeek.

The X3 Pro features the smallest mass-producible full-color Micro-LED engine and

RayNeo’s proprietary etched waveguide, leading the industry in 3D spatial display,

brightness, and color fidelity. It also introduces visual Live AI interactions and the first

AR glasses Android app container, the “RayNeo AR Virtual Machine,” bridging large-

screen tools to personal intelligent devices.

Previously honored with the IFA 2025 Innovation Award, the X3 Pro’s recognition by

TIME further cements its position as a top-tier global AR product. TCL RayNeo led

the global AR glasses market in Q2 2025 with a 39% share, marking the brand’s first

worldwide #1 ranking. This accolade is set to expand the presence of “Made-in-China

AR” in daily life.
