Overview of the X by Xreal xbx a01+
With X by Xreal, the AR glasses specialist is launching a new subsidiary brand that is intended to stand for hipper, more affordable products. The first of these products is the so-called xbx a01+, AR video glasses that weigh just 62 grams, 20 grams less than the Xreal 1S ($449 on Amazon) and 10 grams less than the Xreal Air 2. This is intended to make them particularly comfortable to wear.
Design and Build
The front cover can be changed in a few simple steps to match the shape and color of the glasses to the current outfit. Clever: it is possible to produce front covers using a 3D printer. The temples house speakers. The heart of the xbx a01+, however, are the integrated HDR displays, which should achieve a brightness of 1,600 nits, making them easy to see even in bright daylight.
Display and Usage
Xreal advertises a field of view of 50 degrees, which is equivalent to a 147-inch television from a distance of 4 meters. xbx a01+ is more AR video glasses than smart glasses, as the display is primarily intended to show videos or games from a connected smartphone or laptop instead of accessing an AI assistant like the smart glasses from Meta, for example.
Release and Pricing
The X by Xreal a01+ AR glasses, also known as xbx a01+ for short, will be launched in the USA in July for $299.
