Editorial overview
By AR Compare Team ·
Compiled from AR Compare's verified catalog record and cited coverage — AR Compare has not tested this device.
The TCL NXTWEAR S+ is the catalog’s clearest case of a fine product orphaned by its own maker. A naming note first, for honesty: no TCL model called ‘NXTWEAR S2’ exists — this page’s address keeps an old label, but the recorded product is the NXTWEAR S+, the direct successor to the original NXTWEAR S. On sale from February 2024 at a $399 list price, it now trades around the record’s $250 street figure, mostly through third-party stock (Walmart, Amazon, Focus Camera) at clearance-style pricing, because TCL’s global glasses page no longer features it and the company’s display-glasses attention has shifted to its RayNeo brand.
What the money buys held up: dual 1080p Micro-OLED panels at 120Hz with 600 nits — 50% brighter than the original S — projecting a 215-inch virtual screen, with TUV Rheinland’s triple eye-comfort certification, capsule nose pads, and adjustable temples. Plug-and-play USB-C DisplayPort covers phones, PCs, Macs, Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and consoles via adapters. The record’s trade-offs: 87 grams is heavy against 76-gram 2025-26 rivals, there is no head tracking and no IPD or diopter adjustment, and TCL never published the S+ field of view (the predecessor measured around 45 degrees). Prescription wearers rely on a maker-named partner: Lensology’s magnetic clip-in insert for the S+ at £79.
The buyer case writes itself from those rows: if you find remaining stock near the recorded street price, this is a lot of certified, bright, 120Hz screen for the money — from a line that is effectively end-of-life but was never formally discontinued.
