This is a departure from how weve connected XR headsets with power units so far.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
it’s possible for you to use USB-C and DP1.4 cables to tether the headset to the neckband.
Lets talk about the phone that dangles from your neck.
It has a touchpad, and a SIM card slot to connect to 5G.
The antennas that connect to the connection are housed all along the neckband.
Its not clear if the equipment has any screen.
Weve asked Lenovo to clarify, and well update the story if we hear back.
To power all this, theres the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, and a 5,000mAh battery.
Theres a module at the back of the neckband that has stereo loudspeakers for calls.
We dont introduce new form factors very often in the industry.
Notably,Lenovos ThinkReality A3 headsetcan already connect to a smartphone through a USB-C cable.
But this new neckband can remove the hassle of connecting a long cable from your pocket to your head.
Plus, its saving battery on your primary phone.
The company hasnt shared any details about the availability and pricing.
That’s one heck of a mixed bag.
