The XREAL One Pro is an augmented reality (AR) glasses device developed by XREAL, announced on December 4, 2024, and set to begin shipping in March 2025. It represents the company's premium offering in the XREAL One Series lineup, featuring the proprietary X1 spatial computing chip and advanced custom flat-prism waveguide technology.[1][2]
History
Announcement
XREAL unveiled the XREAL One Series (One and One Pro) at a global press briefing on December 4, 2024, just ahead of CES 2025, framing the glasses as "the world's first cinematic AR display with an independent spatial-computing chip."[1][3] The Pro model drew particular attention for its 57-degree field of view, 120-Hz refresh rate, and electrochromic lens dimming capabilities.
Early hands-on demonstrations were provided to press at CES in Las Vegas in January 2025, where the device was honored as a CES 2025 Innovation Awards Honoree.[4] Analysts highlighted the significant move from traditional "bird-bath optics" to a custom flat-prism design.[5]
Release
Pre-orders opened worldwide on December 4, 2024, with XREAL confirming at CES that One Pro units would leave factories in "early 2025."[6] Mass shipping began on March 8, 2025, with first customer deliveries occurring shortly thereafter.[7]
Overview
The XREAL One Pro builds upon the success of the standard XREAL One, offering enhanced specifications including a wider field of view (57° compared to 50°), improved display technology, and a thinner frame design.[7] The device substitutes XREAL's earlier triangular bird-bath lens with an 11-mm-thick flat-prism waveguide that increases the diagonal field of view while reducing enclosure volume by 40%.[5][1]

Availability and Pricing
Reception
Early hands-on reviews praised the XREAL One Pro's revolutionary display technology and significant field of view improvements. Tom's Guide awarded it a spot on their "Best of CES 2025" list, noting the revolutionary flat prism display technology and calling it "the widest, clearest consumer AR screen money can buy," though noted that "a killer app ecosystem still isn't here yet."[7]
Engadget's reviewer stated they were "suitably impressed" with how the device addressed common AR glasses issues.[16]
VentureBeat highlighted the X1 chip as "the biggest leap forward in consumer AR since tethered glasses became mainstream," praising the reduced latency and on-device processing capabilities.[17]
Industry analysts noted the successful transition from bird-bath to flat-prism optics as a significant technical achievement, with the wider field of view addressing one of the primary limitations of previous consumer AR devices.
Development and Background
XREAL, formerly known as Nreal, rebranded in May 2023 to reflect its expanded product range and international ambitions.[18] The company has been a key player in the consumer AR industry, with its Air series gaining popularity for providing lightweight, display-focused AR glasses.
The XREAL One Series, including the One Pro, marks a significant step forward with the introduction of the XREAL X1 chip, the company's first in-house spatial computing coprocessor, designed to enhance the AR experience by enabling independent processing for spatial displays and reducing dependency on external processing units.[1]
Prescription Lens Support
XREAL has partnered with HONSVR to provide custom prescription lens inserts for users requiring corrective lenses. The prescription lenses for the One Pro feature a different design compared to previous XREAL glasses models and are not cross-compatible with earlier generations.[10]
