Overview
- Orders opened Wednesday in the United States, Canada and South Korea with sales in Japan starting November 2, Xreal says shipments will begin in mid‑November and a $200 launch discount runs through December.
- The glasses weigh under 95 grams because the battery and main processing sit in a wired compute puck that clips to a belt or pocket and runs Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon Reality Elite platform.
- AURA uses Sony micro‑OLED optics with 1200p at 120Hz and about a 70° field of view and includes Sound by Bose and electrochromic dimming for darker viewing.
- As the first consumer wired device on Android XR, AURA has built‑in Gemini AI, access to millions of Google Play apps and more than 150 made‑for‑XR experiences including the NBA app, Project Hail Mary and Fallout: Factions.
- Key features aim at real‑world productivity and play: Wired Mirroring lets you plug a laptop or console into the puck to create resizable virtual windows, and Xreal announced a GameSir controller with a Gemini button plus a portable wireless keyboard; broader retail rollout is planned for 2027 and the product’s comfort, software uptake and supply will shape its market impact.
