HoloLens 2 Replacement: The HMS Singray G2
"Microsoft has formally discontinued the HoloLens 2. If you're looking for a HoloLens 2 replacement, as an authorised HMS Singray G2 distributor we work with enterprise organisations every day to plan and execute that transition — covering hardware supply, software configuration, MDM deployment, and ongoing managed support.
As of 2024, Microsoft has ceased production of the HoloLens 2. Existing enterprise support contracts will continue to be honoured until their contracted end date, but no new hardware is being manufactured or sold. Organisations relying on HoloLens 2 for operational workflows should begin transition planning now.
Is HoloLens 2 Discontinued? Finding the Right Replacement?
Yes — Microsoft formally discontinued the HoloLens 2 in 2024. No new units are in production and the product has reached end-of-life. Existing enterprise support contracts will continue to be honoured until their contracted end date, but hardware availability, spare parts, and long-term warranty fulfilment will become progressively constrained. Organisations operating HoloLens 2 fleets should begin transition planning now.
Understanding the HoloLens 2 Discontinuation
Since its launch, the Microsoft HoloLens 2 established itself as the benchmark for enterprise-grade mixed reality. Across manufacturing, healthcare, field service, and defence, organisations built meaningful operational capability on the platform — from remote expert assistance to hands-free assembly guidance and surgical training.
Microsoft's decision to exit the consumer hardware market represents a significant shift. For enterprise IT and operations leaders, the immediate concern is practical: existing fleets will continue to function, but there is no upgrade path, no new hardware supply, and a support horizon that is finite. Organisations that act proactively will have more time to migrate thoughtfully; those that delay risk operational disruption when support contracts expire.
The HMS Singray G2 has emerged as the leading enterprise HoloLens 2 replacement — purpose-built for the same demanding environments where the HoloLens 2 excelled, with significant capability improvements across the areas that matter most to operational performance. As an authorised distributor and solutions partner, we supply the Singray G2 alongside the consultancy, software configuration, and managed services needed to make a transition successful end-to-end.
"For enterprise teams, the question isn't whether to migrate from HoloLens 2 — it's how to do so with the least disruption and the most strategic benefit."
HMS Singray G2: Key Specifications
For procurement teams and IT decision-makers who need a quick reference, the HMS Singray G2 headline specifications are:
- Display1920×1200 per eye, 90Hz — Bird Bath optical system
- Field of View51° diagonal (H: 45°, V: 28°)
- CPUQualcomm QCS8550 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2)
- VPUIntel Movidius Myriad X
- Battery2500mAh, 7.6V — hot-swappable and field-replaceable
- DurabilityIP65 dust and water resistance
- ConnectivityWi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS
- Tracking6DoF SLAM at 100Hz — 9-axis IMU at 1000Hz
- Cameras8MP RGB (autofocus) · Stereo VSLAM Fisheye · Depth ToF (0.2–4m)
- SDKSnapdragon Spaces SDK + Unity Native (MRTK-based)
Key Capability Improvements for Enterprise Operations
Beyond the specification, the HMS Singray G2 addresses several operational and strategic considerations critical for enterprise decision-makers evaluating a platform transition.
Full-shift battery endurance
The hot-swappable, field-replaceable battery means devices never need to leave the floor to charge. Swap and continue — no downtime, no charging infrastructure constraints.
Industrial-grade durability
IP65 dust and water resistance enables deployment across manufacturing floors, outdoor field operations, and harsh industrial environments where HoloLens 2 was operationally unsuitable.
Comparable field of view
The Singray G2 offers a 51° diagonal FOV — broadly comparable to the HoloLens 2's 52° binocular FOV. No meaningful FOV regression in migration.
MRTK-compatible SDK
Built on Snapdragon Spaces with Unity Native (MRTK-based) support — many existing HoloLens 2 applications can be ported with manageable rework, protecting prior software investment.
Active platform roadmap
An actively developed platform with a committed hardware and software roadmap — providing long-term investment assurance that end-of-life HoloLens 2 can no longer offer.
Modern compute architecture
Current-generation processing delivers improved spatial mapping, reduced holographic latency, and support for on-device AI workloads relevant to quality inspection.
HoloLens 2 End of Life: What It Means for Your Organisation
End-of-life status means more than a discontinuation announcement. In practice: no new hardware supply, a shrinking pool of spare parts, no future software or security updates beyond contracted terms, and no upgrade path within the HoloLens product family. For enterprise teams, this creates risks across three dimensions — supply (fleet expansion and replacement become difficult), support (break-fix resolution becomes harder over time), and security (an unpatched device fleet carries increasing risk). A planned migration to the HMS Singray G2 addresses all three.
Transition Urgency: Assessing Your Organisation's Position
The appropriate timeline varies by fleet size, application complexity, and operational dependency. The following framework helps organisations determine where they sit on the urgency spectrum:
Begin migration now
Organisations in manufacturing, field service, construction, or outdoor environments where battery endurance and environmental durability are active operational constraints. Also applicable where fleet expansion is planned — Microsoft has formally discontinued the HoloLens 2 and find a HoloLens 2 replacement.
Plan now, execute in phases
Organisations with customised line-of-business applications requiring platform review, or those currently mid-cycle on an existing deployment. Existing hardware will remain functional during a phased transition, allowing parallel operation without disruption.
Monitor and plan
Organisations with active enterprise support contracts covering a stable, well-defined use case. Migration planning should still begin now — spare parts and replacement hardware will become progressively harder to source as time goes on.

Migration Framework: HoloLens 2 to HMS Singray G2
A structured migration approach minimises operational risk and protects existing software investment. The following five-phase framework reflects the approach we recommend for enterprise customers transitioning at scale.
Application and dependency audit
Catalogue all HoloLens 2 applications in use, identifying their development framework (MRTK, native WMR, third-party), cloud dependencies, and business criticality. This audit forms the basis of your migration sequencing and effort estimation.
Controlled hardware pilot
Deploy the HMS Singray G2 in a representative operational environment with a defined group of end users. Validate battery performance against shift patterns, environmental suitability, and interaction model compatibility with existing workflows.
IT infrastructure and MDM configuration
Validate device enrolment via Microsoft Intune or your existing MDM platform. Review and update compliance policies, conditional access rules, and certificate provisioning. Confirm Wi-Fi 6 coverage in all operational areas.
Application porting and acceptance testing
Migrate applications in order of business criticality. MRTK-based applications typically require minimal code changes; custom or native WMR applications may require more significant rework. Use this transition to address known UX limitations.
Fleet deployment and decommissioning
Execute the full fleet deployment, maintaining parallel operation with HoloLens 2 units during a validation window. Decommission HoloLens 2 devices per your asset disposal policy and maintain migration documentation for audit and compliance purposes.
