The Xreal One Pro smart glasses offer a decent spatial computing experience, but require a cable connection to your device. Following the Xreal One, the Pro version upgrades the display. While Apple has been rumored to be developing its own smart eyewear for years, other companies such as Xreal are pushing forward to get their product to market.

The Xreal One Pro features chunky sunglasses-like frames with Bose-powered speakers and a USB-C port. The display uses a 0.55-inch Micro OLED with a wider field of view compared to its predecessor. Users can also insert prescription lenses. The glasses weigh 3.1 ounces, which may be noticeable during extended use.

The new display offers increased brightness and improved usability in bright environments. It has a 120Hz refresh rate. The glasses connect to various devices via USB-C, including iPhones and iPads, acting as an external display. The Xreal One Pro supports both pin and follow modes.

Ultimately, the Xreal One Pro is an evolution, not a revolution. It serves as a display for the eyes, but lacks the full smart glasses experience. The absence of a built-in camera, which is sold as an add-on, is a notable drawback. With Apple still in the game, the smart glasses market is set to get competitive.
