The '''XREAL One Pro''' is a premium pair of [[augmented reality]] ([[AR]]) [[smart glasses]] created by [[XREAL]] (formerly [[Nreal]]). Announced at a global press briefing on 4 December 2024, and highlighted at [[CES 2025]], the One Pro is positioned as the flagship of the company’s “[[XREAL One Series]]”.<ref name="PressRelease"/><ref name="ces2025pr"/> It introduces a custom flat-prism optical engine, the in-house X1 [[spatial computing]] chip, and the widest [[field of view]] (FoV) yet seen on an optical see-through consumer headset at its launch.<ref name="PressRelease"/> First customer shipments began in March 2025.<ref name="TomGuideHandsOn"/> The device was honored as a CES 2025 Innovation Awards Honoree.<ref name="cesaward"/> | |||
==History== | |||
===Announcement=== | |||
XREAL unveiled the One Series (One and One Pro) just ahead of [[CES 2025]], framing the glasses as “the world’s first cinematic AR display with an independent spatial-computing chip.”<ref name="PRNewswire"/> The Pro model drew particular attention for its 57-degree [[field of view]], 120-Hz refresh rate and [[electrochromic]] lens dimming. Early hands-on demonstrations were provided to press at CES in Las Vegas in January 2025, where analysts highlighted the move from a [[bird bath optics|bird-bath lens]] to a flat-prism design.<ref name="KGuttag"/> | |||
===Release=== | |||
Pre-orders opened worldwide on 4 December 2024. XREAL confirmed at CES that One Pro units would leave factories “early 2025,”<ref name="CESPress"/> with community updates indicating mass shipping began around 8 March 2025.<ref name="RedditDelivery"/> The expected shipping date was March 2025.<ref name="ces2025pr"/> | |||
==Design and Hardware== | |||
===Optics and Display Technology=== | |||
The XREAL One Pro utilizes advanced flat prism display technology, departing from the traditional "[[bird bath optics|bird bath]]" displays. This custom flat-prism waveguide is 11 mm thick and increases the diagonal [[field of view]] to 57°, a notable improvement from the 50° on the standard XREAL One, while reducing enclosure volume by 40%.<ref name="KGuttag"/><ref name="PressRelease"/> | |||
A pair of 0.55-inch [[Sony]] [[Micro-OLED]] panels provide a native 1920x1080 ([[1080p]] FHD) resolution per eye, with a perceived peak brightness of up to 700 nits and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.<ref name="TomGuideHandsOn"/><ref name="PressRelease"/> Each unit is individually calibrated for color accuracy, achieving ΔE <3.<ref name="xrealshop"/> The lenses support three-level [[electrochromic]] dimming—Clear, Shade and Theatre modes (0%, 35%, 100%)—for controlling ambient light and enhancing immersion in various environments.<ref name="ShopPage"/><ref name="xrealshop"/> This allows users to adjust the opacity of the lenses via an on-glass button.<ref name="PressRelease"/> The virtual screen can appear as large as 171 inches (equivalent to 447 inches at certain distances).<ref name="ces2025pr"/> | |||

===X1 Spatial Computing Chip=== | |||
The XREAL One Pro features XREAL’s first proprietary [[spatial computing]] chip, the X1. This co-processor handles pose prediction, display stabilisation, and low-latency distortion correction entirely on-device. This enables native [[3DoF|3 Degrees of Freedom]] tracking without external apps or adapters, achieving an ultra-low motion-to-photon latency as low as ~3 ms at 120 Hz.<ref name="PressRelease"/><ref name="xrealshop"/> The X1 chip also powers on-device processing for Anchor and Follow display modes and improved stabilization algorithms.<ref name="xrealshop"/> | |||
===Audio System=== | |||
Both temples house open-ear drivers tuned under the “Sound by Bose” initiative, delivering wider mid-to-high-frequency response than the preceding [[XREAL Air 2 Pro]].<ref name="PressRelease"/> This system features custom acoustic components designed specifically for AR glasses and a unique sound chamber design, providing clear voice output for calls and meetings even in noisy environments.<ref name="xrealshop"/> A quad-microphone beam-forming array supports voice chat and AI assistant capture.<ref name="PressRelease"/> | |||
Audio System | |||
===Ergonomics and Build=== | |||
The XREAL One Pro weighs 87 grams (without cable) and features a magnesium-alloy frame with nylon hinges.<ref name="PressRelease"/> Because the glasses are bus-powered over [[USB-C]], no battery is integrated. The front frame is 11 mm thick. For user comfort and fit, the One Pro is available in two IPD sizes: Size M (57-66mm) and Size L (66-75mm).<ref name="ShopPage"/> The integrated temples offer a three-position angle adjustment. | |||

The XREAL One Pro is a premium pair of augmented reality (AR) smart glasses created by XREAL (formerly Nreal). Announced at a global press briefing on 4 December 2024, and highlighted at CES 2025, the One Pro is positioned as the flagship of the company’s “XREAL One Series”.[1][2] It introduces a custom flat-prism optical engine, the in-house X1 spatial computing chip, and the widest field of view (FoV) yet seen on an optical see-through consumer headset at its launch.[1] First customer shipments began in March 2025.[3] The device was honored as a CES 2025 Innovation Awards Honoree.[10]
History
Announcement
XREAL unveiled the One Series (One and One Pro) just ahead of CES 2025, framing the glasses as “the world’s first cinematic AR display with an independent spatial-computing chip.”[11] The Pro model drew particular attention for its 57-degree field of view, 120-Hz refresh rate and electrochromic lens dimming. Early hands-on demonstrations were provided to press at CES in Las Vegas in January 2025, where analysts highlighted the move from a bird-bath lens to a flat-prism design.[6]
Release
Pre-orders opened worldwide on 4 December 2024. XREAL confirmed at CES that One Pro units would leave factories “early 2025,”[12] with community updates indicating mass shipping began around 8 March 2025.[13] The expected shipping date was March 2025.[2]
Design and Hardware
Optics and Display Technology
The XREAL One Pro utilizes advanced flat prism display technology, departing from the traditional "bird bath" displays. This custom flat-prism waveguide is 11 mm thick and increases the diagonal field of view to 57°, a notable improvement from the 50° on the standard XREAL One, while reducing enclosure volume by 40%.[6][1] A pair of 0.55-inch Sony Micro-OLED panels provide a native 1920x1080 (1080p FHD) resolution per eye, with a perceived peak brightness of up to 700 nits and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.[3][1] Each unit is individually calibrated for color accuracy, achieving ΔE <3.[5] The lenses support three-level electrochromic dimming—Clear, Shade and Theatre modes (0%, 35%, 100%)—for controlling ambient light and enhancing immersion in various environments.[4][5] This allows users to adjust the opacity of the lenses via an on-glass button.[1] The virtual screen can appear as large as 171 inches (equivalent to 447 inches at certain distances).[2]

X1 Spatial Computing Chip
The XREAL One Pro features XREAL’s first proprietary spatial computing chip, the X1. This co-processor handles pose prediction, display stabilisation, and low-latency distortion correction entirely on-device. This enables native 3 Degrees of Freedom tracking without external apps or adapters, achieving an ultra-low motion-to-photon latency as low as ~3 ms at 120 Hz.[1][5] The X1 chip also powers on-device processing for Anchor and Follow display modes and improved stabilization algorithms.[5]
Audio System
Both temples house open-ear drivers tuned under the “Sound by Bose” initiative, delivering wider mid-to-high-frequency response than the preceding XREAL Air 2 Pro.[1] This system features custom acoustic components designed specifically for AR glasses and a unique sound chamber design, providing clear voice output for calls and meetings even in noisy environments.[5] A quad-microphone beam-forming array supports voice chat and AI assistant capture.[1]
Ergonomics and Build
The XREAL One Pro weighs 87 grams (without cable) and features a magnesium-alloy frame with nylon hinges.[1] Because the glasses are bus-powered over USB-C, no battery is integrated. The front frame is 11 mm thick. For user comfort and fit, the One Pro is available in two IPD sizes: Size M (57-66mm) and Size L (66-75mm).[4] The integrated temples offer a three-position angle adjustment.

- Display Modes (powered by X1 chip):
* Anchor Mode: The virtual screen remains fixed in space as the user moves their head; latency ~3 ms.[1][3] * Follow Mode: The screen tracks head movements with minimal latency.[3]
- Ultrawide Mode: A special viewing mode that creates a curved virtual screen reaching up to 310 inches, designed for immersive productivity and entertainment experiences.[5]
- Side View: A multitasking feature that allows users to shrink and pin the virtual screen to the side, maintaining peripheral awareness of the real world.[5]
- Modular AI Camera: The optional, detachable XREAL Eye accessory adds a 12-megapixel RGB camera and enables inside-out 6 Degrees of Freedom tracking. It supports first-person capture of both real-world and in-glasses content and is intended for future multimodal AI features. Requires XREAL Beam Pro for functionality.[7][5]
Software and Compatibility
The XREAL One Pro acts as a tethered display for nearly any host device that outputs video over USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode. This includes:
- iPhone 15/16 series
- Android smartphones with USB-C DP support
- Windows PCs and laptops
- Mac computers
- Gaming devices like Steam Deck and ROG Ally
- Gaming consoles (may require an HDMI to USB-C adapter)[5][1]
XREAL’s Nebula AR launcher provides a spatial multi-window environment on supported Android devices. At Google I/O 2025, Google confirmed XREAL as an early hardware partner for the forthcoming Android XR platform,[8] a collaboration later echoed in developer documentation.[15]

Reception
Early hands-on reviews praised the XREAL One Pro's expanded field of view, optical clarity, and the advancements brought by the X1 chip.
- Tom’s Guide called the One Pro “the widest, clearest consumer AR screen money can buy,” and awarded it a spot on their "Best of CES 2025" list, noting the revolutionary flat prism display technology. However, they also mentioned that “a killer app ecosystem still isn’t here yet.”[3]
- VentureBeat highlighted the X1 chip as “the biggest leap forward in consumer AR since tethered glasses became mainstream.”[17]
- Engadget stated they were "suitably impressed" with how the device addressed common AR glasses issues.[18]
Criticisms sometimes included the lack of a built-in battery, though this is a common design choice for tethered AR glasses to maintain a low weight.
