The XReal One Pro AR glasses debuted at CES 2025, and now XReal has announced an upgraded version, 1S, in time for CES 2026. Plus, the XReal 1S is available for $449, which is $50 cheaper than the XReal One on the company's website, and $200 cheaper than the XReal One Pro.

The XReal 1S boasts 3D spatial technology so users can convert 2D games and videos into 3D, and several upgrades compared to other XReal models:

  • 500-inch spatial screen, up from 147 inches on the XReal One

  • 52 degrees field of view, an increase from 50 degrees on the XReal One (but less than the XReal One Pro's 57 degrees)

  • 1200P HD resolution, up from 1080P resolution on both the XReal One and One Pro

  • Highest perceived brightness up to 700 nits, more than the One's 600 (but the same as the One Pro)

Like the One and One Pro, the XReal 1S features Native 3DoF (degrees of freedom) spatial anchoring, allowing you to keep the screen in one place. It also features electrochromatic dimming, a USB-C plug-in, and is powered by the X1 chip. The 1S glasses come in a cobalt blue, whereas the other models are black.
