Here’s the skinny on Xreal’s Project Aura, the first “real” pair of Android XR glasses: they won’t just clip onto your phone. Instead, you’ll rock a wired headset powered by an X1S chip in the frames and a Qualcomm Snapdragon–powered puck in your pocket to handle all that 3D/AI magic. Phones, it turns out, aren’t beefy enough for true optical-see-through AR, so don’t expect to ditch the extra gadget anytime soon.
On the bright side, Aura’s new flat-prism lenses are 44% smaller yet boast a whopping 70° field of view, plus front-facing sensors for hand tracking. But battery life? Release date? Price? Total mysteries—though rumors hint at a hefty tag (think around a grand). If you’re into Samsung’s Project Moohan vibes or Google’s Gemini demos, keep an eye out—but prepare your wallet and your pockets first.
