XREAL is wrapping up 2025 with the launch of a new entry-level AR glasses model, the XREAL 1S. It sits below the more expensive XREAL One Pro (announced in July) in the lineup and is the first in the category to offer automatic 2D-to-3D conversion.
The glasses weigh 82 grams and use a pair of Sony-made 0.68-inch OLED microdisplays with a resolution of 1920×1200 per eye and up to a 120Hz refresh rate.
When you switch to the new 2D-to-3D mode, that rate drops to 30Hz, but the glasses still aim for a stable viewing experience with a 52-degree field of view, 700 nits of brightness, and color accuracy rated at ΔE < 3.
A lot of this is driven by XREAL’s in-house X1 spatial computing chip. The company says it can keep latency as low as 3ms, which is important because the 1S supports 3DoF head tracking. That means the virtual screen stays anchored in space even if you move your head around.
XREAL’s product manager, Takao Takayama, also mentioned that the 3D conversion feature will come to the existing XREAL One and One Pro via an update around the 1S launch window.
There are a few more quality-of-life touches built in. Audio is tuned by Bose, and the glasses include four array microphones. Light transmittance can shift automatically between 0%, 35%, and 100%, depending on how much isolation you want. The 1S ships in a single color called Silent Blue.
XREAL Neo
Alongside the glasses, XREAL also introduced a new accessory called the XREAL Neo, a mobile battery pack built with AR users in mind. It costs 14,580 yen and launches in late January.
The Neo carries a 10,000mAh battery, two USB-C ports, and can pass video to AR glasses while charging a phone. Interestingly, it can also double as a dock for the Nintendo Switch, including the newer Switch 2.
If you want everything together, XREAL is offering a bundle containing the 1S and the Neo for 76,560 yen, which is about 6,000 yen cheaper than buying both separately. Early buyers also get the XREAL Hub as a pre-order bonus.
