Overview

  • In-store demos across 12 locations in major Chinese cities began August 22, and broader retail timing remains unspecified.
  • The headset pairs dual 8K Micro‑OLED displays (3,840×3,552 per eye) with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 running OriginOS Vision, plus 1.5° eye tracking and fingertip gesture control.
  • A 398 g design uses an external, phone‑sized battery pack for roughly two hours of use and offers multiple light seals and padding options for fit.
  • Preorders are open in China; pricing has not been disclosed, though multiple reports suggest around 10,000 yuan (about $1,400).
  • Coverage highlights a close resemblance to Apple’s Vision Pro and notes questions over software ecosystem depth and near‑term adoption.
