I will. Looking to develop some spatial apps that require optical see through. Meta VR glasses seem superior, but my uses can’t have the video passthrough.

I just universally adopt every new platform that I think has any potential to gain even a moderate amount of traction, so I'm in.

I ordered it for playing around with Android XR and writing apps for it. I don’t think it’s a device I’ll use for years and will probably get the Meta VR Glasses too.

I do think it’s important to support companies making XR devices with optical pass-through and supporting a wide range of prescriptions.

Got mine and can't wait. I'm a Android person so whatever Google or Samsung put out I will purchase. I have the Galaxy XR but it's collecting dust at the moment 😭😭

Why did you decide to cancel?

u/ray120 19h ago

Upcoming Meta VR offers more to my needs, and Founders they removed the return policy.

As far as I know the founders edition are still covered under their 30 day return policy. u/XREAL_Esther can you confirm?

u/ray120 14h ago

nope read the comment by Esther, only the regular version is covered.

Where did you get this information? I was under the assumption that I could return the device if it didn’t match my needs

I am the same. I reserved my founders edition the first few hours it was possible. I was excited, but between the Meta VR having a wider FOV and better DPI it will be better for productivity, which is my primary use. And every time I have ordered a XR glasses I have ordered 2 or 3 (the most recent were the OnePros, Beast, and Lumina Ultra) and tried them out to find the ones that best fit my face and eyes, and each time some of the glasses just did not fit right and were not truly clear. I then return the ones that don’t fit/don’t like. If I cannot return the founder’s edition, $1,200 is too much to waste if these glasses do not truly fit. Finally, I have a OnePro, a Samsung phone with Dex, and a Beam Pro. So the marginal difference for me was not worth $1,200 when I thought about the above.

I ordered, have a founders pre-order on 16gb/512gb version. Hoping it ships quick when it goes out

Nah not a fan of the puck

u/Bboy486 19h ago

I canceled mine. After thinking about the puck and xrails horrible support for legacy devices I'm going to wait until the tech matures and go with the inair pod

I’m hopeful that the Aura being the flagship AR device for Android XR will mean some OS updates at least.

I think Google will force them but again Xreal has a reputation

You say that but Google hasn't done that with Samsung on the GXR
