Xreal 1S Debuts at $449 With 1200p Optics and Built-In 2D-to-3D Conversion

Lower pricing paired with device-level 3D aims to broaden appeal beyond early adopters.

Overview

  • The refreshed glasses raise resolution to 1200p, boost brightness to 700 nits, widen the field of view to 52 degrees, and keep a 120Hz max refresh rate, with sales live now at Amazon, Best Buy, and Xreal.com for $449.
  • Real 3D converts standard videos and games to 3D at the device level with no special apps or DRM, is active on 1S and rolling to One Pro via update, and early hands-on coverage reports mixed results that vary by content.
  • Xreal’s new Neo hub combines a 10,000 mAh battery with DisplayPort pass-through to enable Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 play without a dock and up to 1200p/120Hz on Steam Deck, priced at $99 through February 4 and expected to ship in February 2026.
  • Reviewers describe the 1S as a strong portable cinema and gaming display with easy plug‑and‑play use, while noting the glasses remain a tethered experience and that long 3D sessions may not suit everyone.
  • Xreal’s ecosystem is expanding through a gaming-focused collaboration with Asus on the ROG XReal R1 AR glasses featuring 240Hz micro‑OLED displays, a 171‑inch virtual screen and a planned first‑half‑2026 launch with pricing to be announced.
