Android 17's December update will finally let you hide those cluttered status bar icons
At least some of it
XREAL has introduced the perfect platform for Android XR, according to early adopters who have tested their new XREAL One Pro glasses. The company's foray into mixed reality headsets has generated interest, particularly given the mixed reactions to previous attempts like Apple's Vision Pro. While XREAL may not be a household name, its decision to harness Android XR piqued curiosity, leading the author to test the XREAL One Pro with various devices, including a Galaxy Z Fold 7, MacBook, and Redmagic Astra 2 tablet.
The glasses create a 157-inch display in front of the user's face, which proved particularly useful during a flight, offering a superior screen experience compared to traditional seatback screens. While the glasses may not look conventional and may require some calibration, their performance and portability are noteworthy. However, limitations exist, especially when using certain apps and tablets.
XREAL Aura, an upgrade set to launch later this year, is expected to address some of these issues. Nonetheless, the current offering is already beneficial, particularly for movie-watching and work purposes. The A01+ and XREAL 1S models provide more affordable options, and XREAL Aura will soon expand their reach.
