XREAL has introduced its XREAL Air 2 series AR glasses in China, featuring two models: the XREAL Air 2 and XREAL Air 2 Pro.
XREAL Air 2 Key Features:
The XREAL Air 2 comes with an improved display, ergonomics, and audio, although preserving its original design. The device uses Sony’s 0.55-inch Micro-OLED microdisplay with 4032ppi pixel density, a 21% rise from the earlier version. The optical engine, Jinghong Ruiying 3.0, ensures improved color accuracy across different brightness levels. The glasses have received TÜV Rheinland certifications for color accuracy, eye comfort, low blue light, and no flicker.
Visually, the Air 2 now offers a red variant and seven different stickers for personalization. It has also been ergonomically optimized, using materials like magnesium alloy to make it lighter by 10% at 72g. More weight has been moved to the temple for balanced pressure distribution, and it now features a “zero-pressure air cushion nose pad”. In audio, it showcases the X-Spatial Sound 2.0, which provides better mid-low-frequency sounds. It also incorporates features to prevent sound leakage, ensuring privacy.
XREAL Air 2 Pro Key Features:
The XREAL Air 2 Pro’s unique feature is its electrochromic lenses. These lenses can be adjusted for various light levels, making them suitable for home, travel, and outdoor scenarios. This model, according to XREAL, is the first augmented reality glasses to be mass-produced using electrochromic technology.
On the software side, the XREAL Beam, introduced in June, is now in its testing phase. This will come pre-loaded with apps from Bilibili and iQiyi, eliminating the need for separate TV subscriptions. The Beam acts as an “air mouse” for interaction, letting users point and control apps.
Pricing and Availability
In terms of pricing, the XREAL Air 2 is set at 2499 RMB ($342), while the Pro version is 2999 RMB ($410). A combo of XREAL Air 2 and XREAL Beam is priced at 3298 RMB ($451). The models are now up for pre-order and sale on Tmall and JD.com.
