Xreal Ultra + Beam Pro Review: Augmented Reality Android

Wish I didn’t need wired connections be amazing for work when coding

I would like to know which would work best with the Xbox 360 when wanting to play for hours.

❤

Finally a review which also Points the downsides and where I finally understood the product range. Thanks man!

I want to wear it at the gym while weightlifting (to study a language - optimize time). I can't see doing that if I have to have the beam attached to the phone. Would I need all of that?

Can't wait for AR glasses to be an experience like current vr headsets. Exciting tech!! ❤

Which of the glasses has multiple screens, at least 3 monitors like Quest 3

Why does my VR headset need to be socially acceptable , the whole point of wearing one is it is immersive to the user . If your interest RD photos and video in a big way you're probably know who Dr T is and he's done a recent review on this which actually is quite good and for video it is absolutely brilliant apparently even photograph good straight out of the unit, the problem with it is the IPD is very narrow at 50 mm which means it's no good for landscape work but it takes better shots on the Fuji W3.

Ideally Apple really should release the option to take 3-D photos. Everything is built into the iPhone 15 now and why they didn't allow still 3D photography with the new spatial video capture is beyond me..

Cool t-shirt!

Very helpful video. Do you know if that android device can be connected to a keyboard? So if I want to edit a document I could do so?
Thank you

I’m using xreal air 2 pro with beam pro @ iPhone 15 plus n I can hardly hear any sound and with my iPhone alone there’s is proper sound on videos??!!

Doesn't ultra has 52' fov ???

It the beam Pro is Android based. Then why not create an app for the better Android phones like Samsung S24 and so on. It saves the hassle to take another big device with you.

not being able to wire a switch into the beam just made me pull out.

Can you use google map or waze on this glasses to guide you while driving or walking?

you can tell they are iterating fast because these feel like they're totally half-baked. laggy, inefficient, cables everywhere; definitely a wait a few years situation

Imagine paying $700 for glasses plus an extra $200 for the stupid dongle you need to use it when the whole thing is a complete joke compared to even the specs, features, and performance of the ORIGINAL Quest, let alone the 3 or 3S for only $299...

Hey all. As someone with low vision, I am always intrigued by the latest in tech in the vision space. Is there any scenario or way of MacGyvering these to act as a digital magnifier? I know you could hook up the Air glasses to your smart phone and screen mirror the camera app, wondering about the ability to tether an external camera like scope to the glasses themselves though for a more handsfree experience. Think spy glasses that you could have a large 130" screen to watch a live feed of something. 😎

air vs Virture Pro ?

Does apple pay people to say things like "macbook pro" when they mean "laptop" or are they just steeped in apple's propaganda level marketing? Not throwing shade, just honestly curious.

Hi!
So, I'm someone with Low Vision, and I'd love to see how these glasses fair as aids for my daily life.

Can you take photos with the Pro or Ultra and see them afterwards?
If so these could work as a kind of portable and more powerful magnifying glass.

And do those glasses do a zoom on the projected screen or do you need the beams for that?

And have you ever tried them to navigate with Google Maps? I'd love to see if they work as I unfortunately have some problems walking around. If I could see the Path while walking around, not having to stop to check the phone every time and risking getting lost and forgetting where I'm going (my memory sucks too. I blame the ADHD). If that works it could be a great help.

I don't care much for prescription because my vision problem cannot be fixed with glass prescriptions. I use glasses mostly for protection so that is not an issue.

I wish I could get my hands on these to test, unfortunately they don't have a physical store here and I can only get the glasses in the global store.

My worries is paying like 500€ for something that won't help me and I won't have use for.

Best review of the current xreal landscape, which is a mess 😅

I need glasses with the lowest video lag, I want to open the camera app on my iPhone and shoot video, what do you advise through the glasses, it would be preferable for the camera app to hang in front of me, and not follow when I turn my head, what do you advise?

What makes you prefer the Air 1 over the Air 2? I have the Air 2 Pro, so I'm curious why you say you carry the earlier model.

will I be able to anchor screens while using windows?

Sabes si los xreal air 1gen son compatibles con beam pro, gracias

isn't that USB-C cable connected incorrectly? The bend should surely go the other way?

so are you saying that with Beam 1 (non-pro) I can connect it to a laptop and view the laptop screen at a fixed point in space without running Nebula on the laptop itself? If so, I'd rather have a Beam 1 than the Beam Pro!

Why do i have to by another phone why cant i do this computing on my samsung?

What about the build quality ? My first nreal Glasses just last 1 year and break (both arms) ...I read that the ultras are made of titanium alloy but according to what I saw only the frames I don't know if the arms are made of titanium alloy as well ... I'm about to get the xreal pro 2 but they are made of rubber... what if they break again,,,,

Is there any point to this device if you're not a gamer?

Ngl I'd d rather them look like cyclops goggles

best informative video I've seen. You've sold me.

What about using them with a MAC for productivity? I want to use multiple virtual screens with almost no latency. What will be your recommendation?

The pass tru is the biggest deal breaker!

XREAL we want 4k. tired of these micro improvements.

Is the virture pro better? Or are they all just not ready for prime time yet and needs another year?

One of the most impressive features of the Apple Vision Pro is its ability to recreate panoramic stills of 180 degrees or more. Which of these glasses if any can do the same?

What about geforce now on the beam? What refresh rate?

i have air2 ther is app for ios

a working concept in progress.

Norm, as a regular glasses wearer, did you have any issues using these without your normal glasses?

I just crossed my eyes and saw your videos in 3D. Awesome lol

No spatial awareness 🚮

you are the first one to fully record things you see through glasses

I cant help but feel like the beam pro should be a software product not a hardware one

I'd assume its because "only with beam pro" is easier for people to accept than "only with an android exclusive app" if you're an ios user
