Love my Air 2s and Beam. Waiting for the Beam pro to arrive...on order in the UK. Also love my Quest 3, but X Reals for me when watching videos. Way more comfortable and less cumbersome. Highly recommended.

[@Giovanni-zc1lv]

Appreciate the walk through! I have had the AP2 Pro and Beam for almost 6 weeks. Really looking forward to seeing my Beam Pro soon! I dont use the Beam and just mirror my S23U for Apps and Dex. I do have the Nebula App for Windows and that works well for multiscreen for 2 and up to 3 on HP Victus. Cheers!

[@XREAL_Global]

Hello. Thank you for your comment. We are excited for you to receive your XREAL Beam Pro soon and we hope that you will enjoy it!

[@ronm6585]

Thanks for sharing.

[@marker3346]

I'd have no problem with the device being twice the thickness for having twice the battery capacity.

[@franciscodonaire1]

@@marker3346 thank you very much

[@claytonhollister482]

Can I add my own proprietary application, maybe with an XD memory card?

[@JorgeHernandez-oy9ug]

I Matt, looks very good. Does it support previous version of XReal Air glasses?

[@edwingomez9130]

Yes, the Beam Pro will support Air 1, 2, 2Pro and Ultra

[@JorgeHernandez-oy9ug]

Great, thanks!

[@calialium1]

Would something like a backbone controller work on the Beam Pro?

[@franciscodonaire1]

Hi there. Please, could you help me with a couple of questions? I have a pair of NREAL Air glasses and I would like to know if I can use them with the XREAL Beam Pro. Additionally, I would like to know if I can watch Netflix without any problem. Kind regards

[@jtp1984]

Does this work with other AR glasses like Viture One?

[@yshnvvaishnav9619]

Does it support Voice access App( Voice screen navigation)...?

[@XREAL_Global]

Thank you for your review, we are excited to see you try XREAL Beam Pro out! We are also happy to hear that you enjoyed the seamless experience of XREAL Air 2 Pro and XREAL Beam Pro together.

[@monsterman7261]

I have a question about the xreal beam pro does it have a sim card or do you have to use Wi-Fi

[@nicolacasali8304]

Can you use the Xreal Air as a viewfinder for the Beam Pro dual cameras? IE, can the cameras stream live directly to the glasses? That would be pretty cool.

[@XREAL_Global]

Hello. Thank you for your comment and for your interesting suggestion. We appreciate it.

[@Ben-jv7vr]

@@XREAL_Globalso what is the answer to the question then?

[@metalcrip89]

Great review man wish they could just get passed drm issues on most devices I already have a OnePlus 12 with 16gbs of ram and 512 gbs storage that I want to do the same media watching with they make a launcher for any specific things to do I guess they are just doing this to make extra money. I'm probably going to buy both the glasses 🕶️ and beam pro but still wish they'd get it right for phones imo.

[@jackintheboxofshadow]

Did you try retro emulation on it?

[@tagthenaive1453]

Will it work in Mexico? (The nReal Nebula app isn't available in the PlayStore in Mexico. ) Does the applicance require a U.S. Google account?

[@XREAL_Global]

Hello. Thank you for your comment. As we do not have a distributor in Mexico, you may unable to purchase our devices easily. The Nebula application apk file for compatible Android phones made by XREAL is available for download from our official subreddit, r/XREAL. The Nebula application and the nebulaOS custom Android 14 operating system on XREAL Beam Pro are separate entities. Please refer to our website to learn more.

[@brian106699]

I have bad eyes. Do they accommodate for those of us who require vision correction?

[@KevinRank]

The glasses have spare inserts to add to prescription lenses. You have to get them custom made. I think mine were $40.

[@ErikHartley]

If you just need myopia correction, there are lens inserts that you can purchase via Frames of Choice or Lensology among other vendors. If you need bifocals or something more progressive, they unfortunately may not be able to accommodate.

[@XREAL_Global]

Hello. Thank you for your comment. As the comments in this thread indicate, our XREAL Air AR glasses come with additional prescription lens inserts that can be adjusted by an optometrist or one of our online partners.

[@Wvgrizz]

Got that same shirt !! Lol

[@johnnyw230]

Be good for a gaming review and best set up

[@alexfurl1]

What contries does it support and how about the battery? Charging and in use also is the power type c works like normal type c (transfer data)?

[@XREAL_Global]

Hello. Thank you for your comment. XREAL Beam Pro has a 4300mAh battery and supports wired fast charging and requires a 27W or higher power adapter. If you have the Global version of the XREAL Beam Pro, you will be able to use the device in multiple regions that also allow access to GMS.

[@alexfurl1]

@@XREAL_Global can i use it in israel?

[@XREAL_Global]

@@alexfurl1 Hey there! I believe our team has already addressed this question; yes you could.

[@alexfurl1]

@XREAL_Global And also i asked about the power charging port does it also for data transfer for example can i plug it to dji quadcopter and the second port to glasses?

[@XREAL_Global]

@@alexfurl1 Hello! As XREAL Beam Pro does not support DP in, there is no support for the aforementioned use cases. The USB-C port on the left side can only be used for charging and does not support data transfer

[@markcruz7238]

is it possible for you to share downloadable samples of spatial pictures and videos?

[@SjaakSchulteis]

A bit late, but I on reddit somebody placed videos and pictures. I watched them with my Quest3. Look not bad.

[@danielburks6224]

Compatibility is as follows XReal Air, Air 2, and Air 2 Pro glasses 3DoF environments. XReal Air 2 ultra 6DoF environment.

[@MobileDecay]

I can't wait to get this thing in the mail so I can actually offer an honest opinion on this instead of the same commercials that are being posted with no criticism whatsoever. Content creators have decided they work the big corporations now and that the viewers don't matter. 🙄

[@MrNiteShadow]

Seriously though. I'm on the verge of wanting to do it especially since I have the $50 off coupon from having the Beam but also after the Beam I'm not sure I'm ready to trust Xreal with more of my money. Would really rather get some real people's reviews but that's not going to happen before the 10th... I'm honestly considering saving and jumping over to Viture because though their stuff isn't perfect it seems like they stand by their products more and have more variety of accessories. Really I probably just need to step back for a couple of years and let the tech cook longer in the oven and be a little more done before investing more into it.

[@MobileDecay]

@MrNiteShadow Agreed! You can't get an honest opinion until the thing is at your doorstep in a ball flames because the battery exploded. 😂

[@edwingomez9130]

I agree with you 100% every video we've seen so far as of date XReal has sent them the beam and the glasses.

[@spidermonkeynr1]

So technicly you are promoting your own channel right now in somebody els his channel. That's sad.

[@MobileDecay]

@spidermonkeynr1 No. I'm just saying I can't wait to put out my opinion. Which is true. No one will probably watch because no one watches my channel anyway. I don't get anything for people watching my channel. I pay to make my low budget cell phone videos.

[@WeekendUpdate7]

Owned the original Xreal Beam. Can't say that I found a lot of utility from the AR Glasses. Would not recommend purchasing unless money is not an issue for you.

[@JorgeHernandez-oy9ug]

Looks great. More processing power, 3D camera, official playstore support and more affordable than a flagship phone. However, will be missed the video input/passthrough for leveraging the 3DoF and the physical buttons predecessor. I wish the nebula application for windows were finally released.

[@edwingomez9130]

Although I am with you the video input will be missed but that's where we have screen casting for

[@XREAL_Global]

Hello. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. We hope that you are able to try XREAL Beam Pro in the future. We will continue to support XREAL Beam for users who require it for gaming consoles and for devs.

[@rodneyford3181]

Does the beam pro work with the Viture Air Pro glasses?

[@Wvgrizz]

What if you wear prescription glasses? Can this be used with them?

[@jorismak]

look up the xreal air / air2 (or other compatible glasses). But they come with a frame on which you can click prescription glasses.

[@XREAL_Global]

Hello. Thank you for your comment. Our XREAL Air series AR glasses come with additional prescription lens inserts that can be adjusted by an optometrist or one of our online partners.

[@DkKombo]

While this is an improvement, you still didn't say if this kept the original beams ability to cast to a phone, to cast to a computer, or have the ability to put the screen in a corner while you move. Why improve when you throw away or don't even mention these features for someone who you know is looking for them? Not sold

[@Gunham20]

Can't you just connect it to your phone.. with hand gestures and all

[@XREAL_Global]

Hello. Thank you for your comment. You may connect our XREAL Air series AR glasses to a compatible device for screen mirroring or to access AR Space using a smartphone that is compatible with the Nebula Application. We developed XREAL Beam Pro as a way to close the gaps in compatibility with mainstream smartphone manufactures, and the limitations that are unique amongst manufacturers and models.

[@bluetech2809]

Yes but then XREAL doesn't get any extra money ;)

[@qqq1701]

I'm sure it's cool for anything you would do on a normal screen but it's not AR.

[@Bendepriest]

I find it hard to trust the review when it's sponsored by the product company... unless I missed something there was no point where he pointed out what he didn't like about it

[@bluetech2809]

Agreed, also kinda weird that XREAL itself is constantly lurking in the comments section.

[@Ben-jv7vr]

Yeah i can’t even watch this. It’s 100% a paid advertisement.

[@amigo3284]

Cost is $650 American for 6GB+128GB or $700 for 8GB+ 256GB Not sure what you’d use it for… expensive shopping devices. No mention of screen quality.

[@itsVVand]

It's $199 and $250 for the two sizes. If you already purchased a beam, you can get $50 off. But yes more expensive if you don't already have the glasses. I love mine for traveling and lounging on the couch gaming

[@MrJwyne]

Combine this with a real phone and you have 2-in-1 …for an even better experience.

[@volcalstone]

A version with a sim card will be coming later if you're willing to wait. It doesn't qualify for the $50 discount for previous Beam owners tho.

[@Jamesroberts98]

The beam pro i received works but I was led to believe it was an upgrade from the beam IT IS NOT! It does not have the ability to connect to my devices like my beam does I can game on my beam I cannot game on the beam pro without excessive lag from miracast streaming to it. it was not worth the money I paid for it.

[@MobileDecay]

Try moonlight or Parsec instead. Miracast is abysmal for game streaming and most things.

[@angeldarki100]

Mejor conecto mi rog phone y mucho mejor

[@RasenRambo23]

This whole product should just be a phone app.

[@TheBigb1973]

This is the dumbest idea I've seen since the ipod touch days. They couldn't make this an app for your existing phone? Lame. I'll stick with my viture pro. I'd rather have the neckband with Android TV than carry around 2 phones.

[@volcalstone]

It captures 3D images and videos. That's one main purpose of this device. They need those lenses further apart than your typical phone. Even the cameras on the iPhone 15 pro max aren't that great when it comes to capturing spatial pics or vids. The only thing missing is a 3rd USB-C port for charging if you're using the input already.

[@SteveyoungphotographyUk]

Plus I never use my phone with the glasses. Kills the battery. A dedicated small tablet seems like the best solution.

[@volcalstone]

@@SteveyoungphotographyUk yeah I'm fine with carrying two devices as I already do with my S22U. Now I don't have to use that phone anymore. I could carry something smaller and also take spatial pics and videos

[@superchi7]

Neckband w/ GoogleTV contents and no spatial anchoring is okay; while this is dumb? I guess time will tell.

[@SH-7125]

No, they couldn't make this into an app to do what they wanted as they need system level permissions in order to do what they want. The only other way would have been if your phone was rooted (Android) and they made their app have an option for rooted devices to access the required level of permissions. So...basically, an app is not going to have the same level of permissions needed to do what they want. The app they do have called "Nebula" lacks a lot of features due to this reason...there is only so much you can do with an app as it's going to have a lot of limitations due to permission reasons....as well as the requirements needed for the app to be in Google Play Store. I think this form factor (this, Beam, Rokid Station etc) is nicer as it's more portable than a neckband. Makes traveling with it easier as you wouldn't need to put it in a backpack or w/e. So...what does this device have? - It's designed specifically for AR experience so you'll have a better AR experience than you would with a phone. - It has 2 cameras that are 50mm apart which is specifically made for capturing photos/videos in 3D. Now, I think this is sort of a nice addition...as it would make me want to take pictures/videos of places I travel and relive those moments in 3D thru the glasses. - It has 2 USB-C ports. One for charging and one for the glasses....no need for messy dongle setups. - Pretty good battery size at 4300mAh. Some phones may have smaller amount than this...which means shorter play time. - Expandable storage. A lot of recent Android devices lack this very needed feature. - Dedicated button to switch to the spatial mode of your choice. Body Anchor, Smooth Follow (and maybe pinned corner screen in a future update like Beam (Called "Sideview" in regular Beam...You can resize windows etc in Beam Pro but not the same as having a dedicated pinned screen to the corner of your choice.) It's easier to recommend people buying this device vs a phone as it is specifically designed for the glasses....and it makes it easier for them to optimize the experience as they have to focus on one device vs the many Androids/iPhones available....which can end up making the experience buggy for certain phones etc.
