The full-HD image quality is decent, but the screen feels muted. An additional Mobile Adapter is available for $99 in the US.

The TCL Nxtwear S glasses are a sleek and stylish pair of AR glasses that share similarities with other smart specs. They have thicker arms, internal speakers, and a magnetic cable that attaches to the right arm.

The lenses are attached via magnets, and the glasses can be easily removed. The reflective lens cover helps block out light and provides a dark backdrop for projected content.

The magnetic cable connection is not perfect, but it could be improved with a USB-C connection. The TCL Nxtwear S glasses offer solid HD visuals, but the screen size is not as large as some other smart specs.

The virtual screen is not as large as a full-HD monitor, but the TCL Nxtwear Mirror Studio app allows users to enjoy a virtual multi-window experience with up to 10 virtual monitors.

The device compatibility is simple with USB-C devices with DisplayPort support, but the Mobile Adapter is clunky. The Adapter allows users to connect their devices to the glasses, but it is finicky and requires setup permissions.

The Portable Adapter has an advantage, as it doesn't drain the smartphone's battery, allowing users to enjoy their AR viewing experience without waiting for their phone to recover.
