Xreal 1S Launches at $449 as Neo Hub Targets Handheld Gaming, ASUS Reveals 240Hz ROG Glasses

A lower entry price plus a gaming-focused power hub with 2D‑to‑3D conversion signals a push to broaden everyday use.

Overview

  • The $449 Xreal 1S raises resolution to 1200p with a 52‑degree field of view, 700‑nit peak brightness and 120Hz, delivering an average 171‑inch virtual screen.
  • Neo is a 10,000 mAh power and DisplayPort hub that outputs Switch games at up to 1080p/120Hz and Steam Deck at up to 1200p/120Hz, with shipping expected in February 2026.
  • Real 3D converts standard video and games to 3D via the X1 chip on 1S and One Pro through an over‑the‑air update, with hands‑on reports calling the effect compelling but inconsistent by content.
  • ASUS introduced the ROG XREAL R1 gaming glasses with 240Hz FHD displays, a 57‑degree field of view and a 171‑inch virtual view, slated for the first half of 2026 with pricing to be announced.
  • Orders are live on XREAL.com, Amazon and Best Buy, and the 1S adds Bose‑tuned audio, electrochromic dimming and a reinforced USB‑C port to emphasize portable big‑screen viewing.
