XREAL Aura with Android XR start at $1,279

XREAL has announced the price for its first pair of Android XR glasses, the XREAL Aura, confirming it starts at $1,279. The XREAL Aura is a unique product that sits between traditional VR headsets and smart glasses, offering a see-through display atop a lens to blend digital content with the real world without relying on cameras.

While previous versions like the XREAL One Pro were limited in functionality, XREAL's Android XR integration aims to significantly enhance the user experience. The Aura glasses feature a puck with a battery, processing power, and Android XR capabilities, offering a base model priced at $1,279, well below XREAL's earlier promise of under $1,500.

There are no additional charges for variations in size. Orders are expected to begin shipping before the holidays, with a second batch arriving in early 2027, and prospective buyers will need to pay a $199 "Priority Deposit" to secure their pre-order.
