28 Oct
Summary
- Xreal Aura smartglasses run on Android XR and a Snapdragon chip.
- They require a tethered puck for battery and compute power.
- Special pricing is available through the end of 2026.
Xreal's Aura smartglasses, the first to operate on the Android XR platform, are now available for purchase. These glasses leverage the Google and Samsung co-developed XR operating system and are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon Reality Elite chip.
Weighing under 95g, the Aura glasses are designed to be lightweight but require a separate puck for battery and computing functions. This external device also includes a trackpad and fingerprint sensor for user interaction.
The Aura is presented as a versatile spatial computing device suitable for work, entertainment, and AI-assisted tasks. It integrates Gemini AI and offers access to 150 dedicated XR experiences alongside standard Google Play applications.
Available in two configurations, the 12GB + 256GB model is priced at $1,099 until December, down from its usual $1,279. The 16GB + 512GB variant is available for $1,299, a reduction from $1,499, for the remainder of 2026. Shipping is slated to begin in mid-November.
