Xreal Aura launch day is here, and the company announced a surprising limited-time price drop running through December 2026. The wired Android XR glasses are now available in the U.S., Canada, Japan, and South Korea. The 12GB/256GB variant can be purchased for $1,099, while the 16GB/512GB model costs $1,299 — roughly $200 less than originally announced. After the promotion ends, prices will return to $1,279 and $1,499 respectively. Shipping is expected to begin in mid-November.
Powered by Google's AI Gemini and a Snapdragon Reality Elite chip, the Aura runs on Android XR and offers access to millions of apps from the Google Play Store. Sports fans can enjoy the NBA app for Android XR and the NASCAR XR app with live 3D track maps and driver telemetry. The glasses feature a 70-degree FOV, a 1200p resolution Sony Micro-OLED display at 120Hz, and Sound by Bose.
Consumers can order directly from Xreal's storefront or at Best Buy starting today. In 2027, Xreal plans to expand distribution to additional retailers and select Google Stores. Co-founder and CEO Chi Xu stated that over 10,000 reservations were recorded by August, with some packages selling out quickly. The company also announced upcoming games including Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars and Fallout: Factions.
