What the Pro adds

The Pocket TV and the Pocket TV Pro are the same idea: a pocket-sized Google TV box that plugs into RayNeo glasses over USB-C, so you can stream on a big private screen without using your phone. They share more than they differ. Both have 3GB of RAM, 64GB of storage with a memory-card slot that goes up to 2TB, and a 6,500mAh battery that RayNeo rates at about 5.5 hours of watching.

The Pro adds three things. It plays Dolby Vision, a picture format that tunes brightness and contrast scene by scene, but only when it is paired with the RayNeo GT or GT Max. RayNeo names its chip, an Amlogic S905X5M-J, and says it converts ordinary video to HDR on the fly. And RayNeo highlights a second USB-C port, so you can charge the box while you watch.

Which one to buy

It comes down to which glasses you own. If you have a GT or GT Max, the Pro is the box that unlocks Dolby Vision on them, and that is the main reason it costs more. If you have Air-series glasses, the Pro plays standard picture only, the same as the cheaper box, so the regular Pocket TV is the better value. RayNeo says both are made for its own glasses and are not meant for other brands, and the regular Pocket TV does not work with the older RayNeo X2 at all.
