The device is scheduled for release in fall 2026. Pricing has not been finalized, but the standard model is expected to cost under $1,500 (around 240,000 yen). The AURA combines a 91-gram sunglasses-style display unit with a separate compute pack. The display uses Sony micro-OLED panels with 1,920 by 1,200 dots per eye and a 120 Hz refresh rate, and offers a 70-degree field of view. That is wider than the 57 degrees of the XREAL One Pro and the 52 degrees of the XREAL 1S. The compute pack runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Reality Elite processor and Google's Android XR platform, which includes the Gemini AI assistant. The device supports hand tracking, 6DoF head movement, and gesture control via a built-in XREAL X1S coprocessor. Two storage configurations are planned: 12 GB RAM with 256 GB storage, and 16 GB RAM with 512 GB storage. From launch day, users can access millions of Android apps through the Play Store. XREAL opened two reservation programs on June 17: a 15,000-yen Benefit Program that secures priority shipping and a 30,000-yen purchase coupon, and a 45,000-yen First Limited Pass limited to 2,000 units that guarantees release-day delivery and a serial-numbered edition.","whyItMatters":"By integrating Android XR and the Snapdragon Reality Elite into a sub-100-gram frame, XREAL is positioning the AURA as a mainstream spatial computing device that runs existing mobile apps rather than requiring a dedicated ecosystem.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe compute pack is roughly the size of a smartphone, according to product photos cited by 4Gamer.net. It includes a built-in touchpad and supports voice control. Bluetooth keyboards, mice, and gamepads can be paired. The pack connects to the display unit via a USB 3.1 Type-C port and has a second USB Type-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video input, which can also supply up to 65W of power.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe display unit uses a proprietary optical system to achieve the 70-degree field of view. Like the XREAL One Pro, the AURA is available in two interpupillary distance (IPD) sizes: M (60-66 mm) and L (66-72 mm). Prescription lenses can be attached. The frame has two spatial recognition cameras on the front and one high-resolution color camera with an LED illumination function that notifies people nearby when recording is active.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoogle apps have been optimized for the platform, and the Gemini AI assistant is deeply integrated, allowing natural operation based on what the user is seeing or displaying, per 4Gamer.net. ASCII.jp notes that many apps designed specifically for XR are under development. The reservation programs are available through Amazon, Rakuten, and DMM, according to GAME Watch. The First Limited Pass fee of 45,000 yen can be applied directly to the product purchase price. The benefit code from the 15,000-yen Benefit Program must be used within 30 days of the AURA\u0026#39;s release.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"XREAL AURA's 70-degree field of view is wider than the company's own One Pro and 1S models.
