Xreal’s latest pair of AR glasses brings some big improvements on the display front while keeping the same $599 starting price. The key upgrade on the brand-new Xreal 1 Pro+ is its 1200 nits peak brightness, which is up from 700 nits on its predecessor. The new model now supports 60fps 2D to 3D conversion, up from 30fps on the Xreal 1 Pro, and this should directly translate to livelier spatial content.
You get the same-sized 0.55-inch Sony Micro-OLED panels on the inside with 1920x1200 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Xreal is advertising a new AI HDR feature, which should translate to improved visual quality. You still get a 57-degree field of view with a 34–556-inch virtual-size range and native 3DoF (three degrees of freedom) support for spatial viewing.
The internals are headlined by the X1 spatial computing chip with 3ms M2P latency. The glasses come with an updated nose pad design with a broader contact area, which is said to be more stable and comfortable for long-term use. Like their predecessor, they connect via USB-C to any device with DisplayPort (DP) Alt Mode.
The Xreal 1 Pro+ are available from the company’s official online store and partnering retailers starting today.
