Xreal reveals lightweight, affordable AR glasses with 1,600 nits display
With X by Xreal, the AR glasses specialist is launching a new subsidiary brand that is intended to stand for hipper, more affordable products. The first of these products is the so-called xbx a01+, AR video glasses that weigh just 62 grams, 20 grams less than the Xreal 1S ($449 on Amazon) and 10 grams less than the Xreal Air 2. This is intended to make them particularly comfortable to wear.
The front cover can be changed in a few simple steps to match the shape and color of the glasses to the current outfit. Clever: it is possible to produce front covers using a 3D printer. The temples house speakers. The heart of the xbx a01+, however, are the integrated HDR displays, which should achieve a brightness of 1,600 nits, making them easy to see even in bright daylight.
Xreal advertises a field of view of 50 degrees, which is equivalent to a 147-inch television from a distance of 4 meters. xbx a01+ is more AR video glasses than smart glasses, as the display is primarily intended to show videos or games from a connected smartphone or laptop instead of accessing an AI assistant like the smart glasses from Meta, for example.
Pricing and availability
The X by Xreal a01+ AR glasses, also known as xbx a01+ for short, will be launched in the USA in July for $299.
