The ROG Xbox Ally X20 went on sale October 15 at $1,299, or $2,499 with ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 AR glasses that ASUS says hit 240Hz through image scaling, at 700 nits peak.
Xreal’s new 1 Pro+ display glasses go on sale in the US at $599 with brighter 1,200-nit panels, AI HDR, 60fps 2D-to-3D conversion and a redesigned nose pad. The X1 chip, Sony micro-OLEDs and 57-degree field of view carry over, and the original One Pro is still listed at the same price.
Xreal’s Aura page now lists 1920×1200 per eye, 1,050 nits, 95 grams and a 34.84Wh puck. It still omits battery runtime, puck weight and a ship date, and its FAQ still calls pricing unannounced.
XREAL’s US store gives $299 Founder Priority Pass holders until October 17 to pay for AURA and secure a numbered Limited Edition; October 31 is the cutoff for priority shipping, which XREAL says is dispatch order, not a delivery date.
XREAL’s June plan put the UK in AURA’s fall launch and the EU right after. Its October 7 release names only the U.S., Canada, Japan and South Korea, with other markets in 2027, and EU and Australian reservation holders are being offered refunds.
XREAL is demoing its 43,980-yen xbx a01+ display glasses at an ASCII-hosted Akihabara event on October 10.
An open-source driver tagged its first release candidates on October 8. It reads the XREAL 1S sensors for rotation-only SteamVR on a Bazzite Steam Deck; yaw drifts and 6DoF is parked.
XREAL’s Android XR glasses start at $1,279 with a 12GB/256GB puck and $1,499 for 16GB/512GB. Pre-orders are limited to reservation holders, only 2,000 Founder’s Edition pairs are certain to ship this year, and battery life is still unpublished.
BeRise, Data Stadium, and XREAL ran free XREAL One Pro demos at Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium on Sep 22–23, overlaying Sports Data Live pitch and score info for Carp fans — aimed at NPB’s first commercial AR viewing product.
VR Expert and Treeview are offering workshops, prototypes, custom Android XR apps, and hardware lifecycle support for XREAL AURA before the glasses go generally available this fall.
