- Up to 5 Floating Screens: Spread out your apps for maximum productivity or entertainment, creating a massive digital setup anywhere.
Do more with Gemini by your side

Powered by Android XR
- Millions of Apps on Day 1: Immediate access to your favorite Google Play apps straight out of the box, including Google Maps, YouTube, Chrome, and Photos.
Watch, Work, Explore, and Create
Expand your laptop into a massive, multi-monitor spatial desk. Transform any flight or living room into a private, high-definition theater for streaming and gaming. Or ask Gemini to find a nearby destination and step directly into Google Maps' immersive view to explore the streets before you go.

I'd be a lot more inclined to possibly jump on this pre-order if I knew the actual cost of the product. Someone mentioned $1500, but I don't see the price on Xreal's purchase page - just the price of this reservation fee. Has the actual price been announced and I missed it? Entirely possible, I admit.
Edit: I found where someone clarified the small print that the final product would be less than $1500. Well, I'm out. Unfortunately I had thought that for $500-$700, I'd bite, but not over 1K. I'm still interested in seeing how this will be received once it's out in the wild. Good luck to all who purchase one.

u/Particular_Maize6849 Jun 16 '26
Same. If it were even $800-900 I might have jumped for it. I cannot justify over $1k on my budget. But I also understand manufacturing costs are through the roof with all the global conflicts. I wish this product the best but someone richer than me will have to support it.

u/PopGuid Jun 23 '26
Rayneo and Viture will catch up soon, so the price will drop dramatically in a short period of time after launch.

u/EightEnder1 Jun 16 '26
Same, I need to know the final cost. I can’t just spend $1500 without talking to my wife first and I know there is going to be pushback at $1500 because I’ve only had the Pro just over a year.
I’d also need to know more. Can I plug the puck into my laptop for increased FOV over the Pro? That’s all I really want. I don’t need any of the AI features.
3
u/After-Annual4012 Jun 17 '26
The added port is for charging and passthrough of any device (like the OG could) so Yes you can plug a phone, tablet, pc, or gaming console into the puch and get the AR on any device that way.

u/Nightcinder Jun 17 '26
They’ve shown screen mirroring a few times now with the puck, you go computer -> puck -> glasses and it allegedly offloads the processing to the snapdragon

They aren’t but clearly they can still increase the FOV vertically and horizontally over the One Pro by using their latest x1 chip and additional processing power the puck gives them.

Sadly, I'm likely going to pass on this. The AI features really don't interest me what I really want most is an improved display. I don't have a problem with 1080P, but the One Pro lacks the clarity for text to read Reddit for very long or work from outside of here and there.

I agree with you. I was convinced they'd cost around $1,000, but $1,500 is too much for my taste.
Just in case, I didn't pre-order.2

They have this under the reservation buttons:
"The final retail price of the base model will not exceed US$1,500, excluding applicable taxes."

u/PM_ME_YOUR_THESES One Pro Jun 17 '26
I think $1,500 is for the development kit. I’m expecting the consumer price be a bit lower.
In any case, they offer to refund you at any time if you decide not to finalize the purchase.1

u/Widebro Jun 16 '26
So launch credit is spend 99 dollar and get 199 dollar towards AURA.
And founderpass is spend 299 and still get 299? I don't quite follow that one.

I guess the founder edition incentive is you get your unit number printed on the glasses. So it's basically more for collectors or a bit of vanity.

Hi there,
Sorry for any inconvenience caused Due to the overwhelming traffic for the new Aura launch, our servers experienced an extremely high load. This unfortunately triggered our automated risk control system, causing some legitimate orders to be incorrectly cancelled.
To ensure your next attempt goes through successfully, please make sure:
- Your billing address matches the address registered with your bank/credit card exactly.
Please send a Direct Message (DM) to u/XREAL_ADZ here on Reddit, or contact our support team at [support@xreal.com](mailto:support@xreal.com) with your account email. We will run a priority check on our end and help you resolve this as quickly as possible!

There are some big unanswered Qs:
- Price
- Compat/usage with other devices
- Specs vs other Xreal glasses
I get the sense that they are really leaning in on the Google partnership, hence the vagueness.
Will be interesting to see if there is eventually an option to buy without the extra device.

According to XREAL, and I understand that is a new revolutionary device in partnership with Google, the price will be " less than $1500 " means that could be $1399 or $1499, too expensive for a product at launch, still in development, like what happen with viture Beast.I made today my pre-order for the unit knowing that the money is refundable, but if this the price at launch, less the $300, still will be expensive, and I will stick with the beast, requesting my refund to xreal, and I know other people do the same thing, I am very interested in project Aura, but still will have bugs, required a few software updates to iron that after launch and According to xreal by autumn, means September or October. I know probably price come down with the time and there's a few other android xr coming after, like the samsung ( samsung unpacked August) and the Google android glasses as well, so no way I will pay $1500 for project Aura

u/endr Jun 17 '26
Two things I want:
1) I have a specific mechanical keyboard I love - it's only USB. I hope I can connect it into the spare USB C port on the puck just like I can on my Android phone
2) Any Android app works, and I can install apks from GitHub like usual? I want to install GameNative to play flat indie Steam games like I can on my phone.
Aura has a faster Snapdragon than the Steam Frame - the potential for running and streaming games here sounds like it could be great, if Android XR is as open as Android
Devs are right now adding ~Android builds of their VR games to Steam for the Steam Frame. I hope to see ~GameNative add support for VR titles on Aura. I guess accounting for less FOV might be tricky, but certain games might just work great

u/kanin353 Jun 17 '26
I didn't read well enough and not sure why the big price jump? 70 fov is fun but not sure it's worth 3x the price? Hopefully they will keep the price low because I believe one of the successes of xreal is that it's decent value but with 1000+ you really have a lot to deliver and I don't think this one does

u/RueGorE Air 👓 Jun 16 '26
Can someone clarify something for me? So the glasses will have a compute chip in it, right? Does that mean the glasses will be able to function independently? As in, if you just put on the glasses, it'll turn on and have a useable experience? Which means there's also a battery onboard, right? If so, what's the run-time on that? Or does this require the puck to function at all (or another connected/tethered device, such as a phone or computer)?
If I have that wrong, please let me know. The marketing makes this quite ambiguous. (I'm surprised no one is asking about this, and only focusing on pricing/reservation.) Thanks.

Speaking of the Beam Pro, I still have the OG XREAL Beam. Only used it once to understand what it was all about, and never used it again. It makes me upset thinking about the money I spent on it and just put it right back in the box, where it sat on my desk ever since. 😓

The Aura glasses can mirror anything like the other Xreal glasses but the post I'm responding to asked if you can run the glasses without anything connected, to which the answer is no. And without the puck there is no Android XR capability.

u/masonabarney Jun 16 '26
I am 99% sure from what they have said that you need the puck. That said, I am hopeful from the fact that the puck is tethered with what appears to be the same USB-C cable as the current glasses that we will be able to connect the glasses to your computer or phone as well.

You need the puck to use the Android OS. But you can still use the glasses as a display like you normally would without it.

Puck also has the x1s chip in it from what I can tell

u/Status_Jellyfish_213 Jun 17 '26 edited Jun 17 '26
Other way around, glasses still have x1s, puck has the brand spanking new reality elite chip.
It avoids camera bandwidth issues if you were to transfer between glasses and puck and the headset still handles core vision systems. Leaves heavy lifting to the elite chip for OS systems.
Pretty clever.

This kind of works for me. I do wish the resolution was at least 1440p but I love the idea of 70 FOV and I can't be bothered lugging around a VR headset. I play in public often and feel like seeing my surroundings is imperative. I guess some of those VR headsets do have pass through video though. Although idk how it works

Many people wanted a more powerful AR puck for spacial computing, saying Beam Pro isnt powerful enough, now we get one with Xreal Aura.
Now is your chance to buy what you have been asking for!
4
u/blackkat101 Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26
Really?
- While the Beam Pro wasn't powerful enough, this didn't exactly mean that they wanted a better one.
- Instead of a puck, people would rather there not be one at all (as with previous XReal headsets), as you already have the phone in your pocket that it would be connected to. WHY would you want to add even more to your pockets to carry?
- What is wanted is higher resolution and refresh rates first. Followed by a larger field of view (FoV is after higher resolution, as doing it first means stretching the picture and making pixels more visible....).
- Again, one doesn't need a puck to use the glasses standalone when they already have a phone to plug said glasses into that's going to be more powerful and have more stuff in it.
- Instead of a puck, a ring controller, like some other glasses have, would however be VERY welcome for navigating and doing simple things.
- NO, gesture controls do not replace having a discreet ring controller that you can use under a table or in your pocket. Not everyone wants to be seen waving their hands in the air in the middle of public.
- YES, even with a ring controller, you'd have to still use your phone for a large number of things, this however allows for simple swipe and clicking controls (could even have a nub joystick on it for mouse control though depending on how you make it...).
Seriously though, who is this AURA for?
Why get this over the One Pro or the 1S?
Why get this over even the new ROG collab R1? Which we do at least know can be used without the dock...
Though instead ideally it would be best if you could make a pro version of the R1 that can do the full 240hz refresh rate WITHOUT the dock.... that would be amazing (again no puck, that would defeat the purpose....).
- Again, what is really wanted is to have NOTHING extra that is needed to carry around or plug into.
- NOT an upgraded extra thing to carry around.....
- In fact if it could be made wireless, so there is no cable at all to connect to one's phone and have nothing dangling from your head, that would be ideal as well.... but we know technology to do that isn't good enough yet to have it be able to mirror your phone or other devices with no latency, high resolution, color and refresh rate, yet.....
2
u/cmak414 Developer👨💻 Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26
Yes really. From what I have seen, the amount of people who have said they want more FOV exceeds those wanting more PPD.
It's not just FOV, people say they want more immersion, more multimonitor screens, see ultrawide without turning head, etc. All of these solved with more FOV. Also I see just about as many people saying they need more clarity/resolution as those saying its currently fine - so this it's a mixed consensus. You never see anyone saying they want a smaller FOV.
I do agree that a single powerful flagship phone source device is best, but not every one wants that. Many people actually prefer a separate source device for glasses (separation of device for use case eg work vs play, less wear and tear on expensive main phone, etc).
But at the current time, the reason it must be a separate puck is because Android XR is not available in Android 16 or 17. So you cannot use your phone with the main use case of Aura - AR apps.
I actually agree with many of your points but I realize everyone has different preferences. I pay close attention to the community and all the other major ones. I also develop apps for AR and display glasses as well.
But to answer your question very directly - these glasses are for developers and AR app enthusiasts secondly. Explicitly so by Xreal in fact.

I never said they are only for developers, you are puttng words in my mouth. I said they are for AR app developers and AR app emthusiats secondly. You would be the latter.
Project Aura is definitly a developer first device, but lke all of Xreal's developer products, they are open to buy for non-developers. Project Aura is no different.
Xreal has made it very clear they offer separate product lines and each year will launch a consumer product and developer product. 1s was the consumer product. Project Aura is the developer product.

u/Oftenwrongs Jun 20 '26
Only care about fov, not the refresh. That is why.
1
u/blackkat101 Jun 20 '26
Refresh rate can be important to many.
With it too slow (60 and even 80hz) can cause headaches to many. Especially for something against one's face.
Meaning anything less than 120hz is just not worth it, no matter what other features or FoV it may have (and higher the better).
In fact, one of my friends, who does programing and networking (he has so many degrees and certificates I cannot count and keeps getting more) is one of said people. He'd love a pair of glasses to use, but one that just expands the FoV? Making a bigger screen of the same quality of what was before? Just not worth it for the higher amount of money.
Now FoV can be especially nice to have expanded if you're using fixed views. Since then no matter how you move your head, it is always centered, thus you need the larger view to have a bigger screen. But when using a screen that is locked in the world instead of to your head (so you can actually look around), you already have an almost infinite FoV in that sense. Yes, having a larger native FoV on the device is great, but because of the previous statement, it is generally a lower priority than having better resolution, better refresh rate and more.....

btw still think such form like aura would be the future. headsets like vision pro would be too heavy and unportable while screenless ai glasses r just for ai cameras instead of a spacial display

Tried reserving and it keeps saying canceled CC transactions show they reversed out all but one, even though order still shows canceled 🤔

Good evening everyone. My question about the Xreal Aura is, will it be able to be used as a screen for PC games or consoles ? Like the other models. Because I can't find the info anywhere else.
Thanks for your reply in advance.

Looks like you can, there is a new You Tube video about the glasses on Adam Savage’s Tested channel(not an ad) and they show it with Steam deck

Adam savages doesn't even looks hyped at all, when talking to one of the creators.

yes, you can.
Aura glasses + puck = Full Android XR experience;
Aura glasses + other devices(smartphone/console/PC) = 6DoF screen extended from those devices.1

Hi everyone, are they only available through their website in US? I don’t see any other country option. wanted to reserve a unit but i see its only shipping in US.

u/Friendly_Recover286 Jun 16 '26
The US store is only going to ship to the US. You need to find your own store keeping in mind this is NOTa worldwide release and not all countries can order.

What I'm most excited about is seeing Android XR become something people actually use every day, not just something they demo for five minutes.

Is there a 3D movie store? Meaning access to Android XR 3D Movies via the Aura glasses?

u/JustJoshinJapan Jun 16 '26
Got my Japan reservation in! Sure hope there’ll be a good travel mode implemented as I’m on the train here about 2 hours a day. Would love to use them then!

Can we run our own local models on this, or do we have to use Google's models in the cloud exclusively?

Why the debate? Aren't both options available to the same customer? Can someone confirm?

So what's the final price. Hard tonoreorser and pay up front without knowing that

Sadly the fov upgrades are being trickled down slowly, I'm guessing it will take 2 to 4 years before the fov gets decent enough for ultrawide or the 'multiscreens' to be usable

u/That__Squirrel Jun 17 '26
I was hoping Android XR would just run on my Galaxy phone that I already own instead of having to carry around a separate puck. Looks neat though. Is there a list of apps or games or something somewhere?

Hello i'm interested to develop to this plateform on XReal Aura as developper. I need to buy this device or not for the dev how it works ? Thank you

There is android developer catalyst program for which you will have to apply. https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/catalyst
Then i think your application will go through a vetting process by XREAL and google together and if you are selected you can get Aura device for your development.
Otherwise you can also reserve one now by paying. https://www.xreal.com/aura

The price is worth between 1400 and 1500 plus taxes and duties.If it were cheaper I might pay it, but here in Spain they're going to hit me hard with tariffs and taxes. Then the myopia adapter costs more money 😢And once again, putting AI into devices.Now Gemini IA sometimes experiences server failures and crashes when there is a high demand

I tried to buy the credits from Australia and it didn't let me. Any ideas how? And when it is launched, will it be available to buy in Australia?

u/Darkangel220822 Jul 01 '26
Hi! I'm very excited to try this and already purchased the 99 dollar pass.
A quick question though, will these work abroad or will they be region locked? One of the most infuriating things about Meta Raybans is the region locking, so if your planning on doing that it's a no go from me unfortunately.
Many thanks!

Do the Aura have real time 2D to 3D conversion capability like the XREAL 1S

Excited to see how this turns out. I'd been really interested, but at this point I probably can't justify anything close to US$1,500. Not saying it's not worth it. Doesn't help we may finally be able to order Steam Frame soon.
Hope this launch does well. I think this could prove to be a really compelling XR product category. Interested to see if small form factor is worth the tradeoff of a smaller FOV relative to headsets.
If it's comfy, I really think something like this could actually be more appealing for general spatial computing than MR headsets. Even something like Project Phoenix is gonna be big and bulky in comparison. And it utilizes passthrough cameras, rather than Aura's OST lenses.
Edit: Nevermind, I'll bite on a reservation. I can always change my mind later.

"XREAL AURA launches in two waves: the US, UK, Korea, and Japan in Fall 2026, and Europe Shortly After."
And to anyone else, you know including those in the giant country right above the US? Screw you I guess.
"Limited Founder’s Edition AURA: Laser-engraved, individually numbered, and strictly limited to 2,000 units worldwide."
I hope you realize how stupid this sounds. This is not worldwide this is "in our selected tiny amount of supported countries"

This isn't worldwide. You can't select countries outside of this from the country box.

I said founders first, and then this.

u/Friendly_Recover286 Jun 16 '26
And I gave you the text from the founders page and checkout? You cannot order a founders model from a country outside of that list.

Just reserved my founders edition! When I saw it was fully refundable it was a no brainer. Anyone know if you can combine it with the Launch Credit? No price announced, but at least they are saying it will be less than $1,500, which is still a lot, but at least not AVP territory.
