To mark the return of CES, augmented reality experts XReal have made an appearance to present to the world a pair of new entry-level glasses that are set to doubly-serve as a "mid-generation refresh and market replacement" for the XReal One but also a "new benchmark for entry-level AR glasses".
Known as the XReal 1S, these glasses expand on the prior model by featuring a 171-inch spatial screen that operates at a 1200p FullHD resolution (up from 1080p). It also has a brighter display that reaches 700 nits (up from 600 nits) while expanding RGB coverage from 100% to 108%, further expanding the field-of-view by 2% to reach 52% and upgrading the aspect ratio from 16x9 to 16x10. This is all while maintaining a 120Hz refresh rate and while managing to offer a lower base price to the prior model, down from $499 to $449.
On top of this is the arrival of the XReal Neo, a hub that serves as a power bank and a DisplayPort video hub for the glasses. It spans 10,000 mAh in capacity, has USB-C support, and even offers connection options with the Nintendo Switch 1 and 2. It will sell for $119 in the long run and will begin shipping in February.
