XREAL AURA XR Glasses Launch This Fall With Android XR
XREAL announced the XREAL AURA, a next-generation XR headset developed with Google and Qualcomm, on June 17. The device is scheduled for release in fall 2026. Pricing has not been finalized, but the standard model is expected to cost under $1,500 (around 240,000 yen). The AURA combines a 91-gram sunglasses-style display unit with a separate compute pack. The display uses Sony micro-OLED panels with 1,920 by 1,200 dots per eye and a 120 Hz refresh rate, and offers a 70-degree field of view. That is wider than the 57 degrees of the XREAL One Pro and the 52 degrees of the XREAL 1S. The compute pack runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Reality Elite processor and Google's Android XR platform, which includes the Gemini AI assistant. The device supports hand tracking, 6DoF head movement, and gesture control via a built-in XREAL X1S coprocessor. Two storage configurations are planned: 12 GB RAM with 256 GB storage, and 16 GB RAM with 512 GB storage. From launch day, users can access millions of Android apps through the Play Store. XREAL opened two reservation programs on June 17: a 15,000-yen Benefit Program that secures priority shipping and a 30,000-yen purchase coupon, and a 45,000-yen First Limited Pass limited to 2,000 units that guarantees release-day delivery and a serial-numbered edition.
