The Xreal Aura's weight control is excellent, so light that you almost forget you are wearing glasses, thanks to a split design that moves most computing units to an external processing puck.
The glasses portion of the Xreal Aura features a 1920x1200, 120Hz Micro OLED display with a 70-degree field of view.
The Xreal Aura's processing puck carries the Snapdragon Reality Elite platform, which compared with the previous-generation XR 2 Plus Gen 2 offers roughly 30% higher CPU performance, about 60% higher GPU performance, and 160% higher NPU performance.
The Snapdragon Reality Elite platform reduces the Xreal Aura's VST latency by 10%, cuts VST power consumption by 33%, extends battery life by 20%, and lowers operating temperature by 12 degrees under the same load.
The Xreal Aura uses electrochromic lenses that support multiple levels of tint adjustment including clear, semi-transparent, and fully dark, allowing it to be used both as ordinary sunglasses and as an immersive display.
The Xreal Aura runs Android XR, developed jointly by Google and Samsung.
Gemini is deeply integrated into the Xreal Aura, can be woken by pressing a button on the right temple, and can see what the user sees through the camera and perform visual analysis.
When the Xreal Aura is connected to a Nintendo Switch, it can project the game image onto a virtual large screen with a latency of about one-third of a second.
The 12GB memory version of the Xreal Aura is currently priced at a limited-time $1099, including the glasses, processing puck, hard-shell travel case, and belt clip; a 16GB+512GB version is in planning.
Both versions of the Xreal Aura use the same roughly 4500mAh battery, providing over 4 hours of battery life under heavy mixed use.
