Xreal introduces its sub-brand X By Xreal with the a01 glasses, an augmented reality model that bets on lightness and an affordable price. Weighing 62 grams and costing $300, they aim to attract those who want to try AR without spending a fortune. However, forget about wireless autonomy or turning your head to navigate menus.
Micro-OLED display at 120 Hz and integrated optical stabilization 🕶️
The a01 features a 1080p Micro-OLED display capable of reaching 120 Hz, with a brightness of 1600 cd/m² and HDR10 support. They include an optical image stabilization system to reduce vibrations when moving. However, they lack head movement tracking, so interaction is limited to what the device connected via cable shows, with no internal battery to make them autonomous.
Three frames to show off glasses without lifting a finger 🎨
They come with interchangeable front frames in three styles: Sport, Stealth, and Classic. You can even 3D print your own. It's almost a consolation, because if you were hoping to turn your head to look at a virtual object, you'll have to settle for moving the phone like a pendulum. At least the glasses weigh less than a sandwich, which is something.
