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[1], and highlighted at CES 2025[2], the One Pro is positioned as the flagship of the company’s “XREAL One Series”. 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] Pre-order fulfillment began in late April 2025, with initial expectations for March 2025.[3][2] The device was honored as a CES 2025 Innovation Awards Honoree.[10]

History

Announcement

XREAL unveiled the One Series (One and One Pro) on 4 December 2024, just ahead of CES 2025, framing the glasses as “the world’s first cinematic AR display with an independent spatial-computing chip.”[1] 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.[1] XREAL confirmed at CES that One Pro units would leave factories “early 2025,”[11] with an expected shipping date of March 2025.[2] Pre-order fulfillment subsequently began in late April 2025, extending into May.[3]

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.[5][2] Each unit is individually calibrated for color accuracy, achieving ΔE <3.[3] 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][3] This allows users to adjust the opacity of the lenses via an on-glass button.[3] The virtual screen can appear as large as 171 inches (equivalent to 447 inches at certain distances).[2]

Refresh Rate 120 Hz[2]
Color Accuracy ΔE <3 (individually calibrated)[3]
Optics Custom flat-prism waveguide[6]
Lens Dimming Electrochromic with 3 levels (0%, 35%, 100%)[3]

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.[3] The X1 chip also powers on-device processing for Anchor and Follow display modes and improved stabilization algorithms.[3]

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.[2] 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.[3] A quad-microphone beam-forming array supports voice chat and AI assistant capture.[3]

Ergonomics and Build

The XREAL One Pro weighs 87 grams (without cable)[2] and features a magnesium-alloy frame with nylon hinges.[3] 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.

Features

  • Wide FoV & High Refresh Rate: 57° diagonal field of view at 120 Hz.[2]
  • IPD Fit: Two physical frame sizes (M: 57–66 mm, L: 66–75 mm) to address peripheral blur and cut-off edges for a wider range of users.[4]
  • Eye-Safe Optics: The XREAL One Pro is among the first AR devices certified for TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort (5-Star) and High Visibility, as well as Low Blue-Light and Flicker-Free operation.[9]
  • Electrochromic Dimming: Three transparency presets (Clear, Shade, Theatre) toggled via an on-glass button for optimal viewing in various lighting conditions.[3]
  • Display Modes (powered by X1 chip):
   *   Anchor Mode: The virtual screen remains fixed in space as the user moves their head; latency ~3 ms.[3][5]
   *   Follow Mode: The screen tracks head movements with minimal latency.[5]
  • Ultrawide Mode: A special viewing mode that creates a curved virtual screen reaching up to 310 inches, designed for immersive productivity and entertainment experiences.[3]
  • 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.[3]
  • 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][3]

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:

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.[12]

Accessories

Accessory Function Launch date
XREAL Beam Pro Android-based hand-held compute puck; adds Wi-Fi streaming, screen casting, power pass-through, and enables advanced features for XREAL glasses. July 2024
XREAL Eye 12-MP RGB camera, SLAM and 6DoF tracking; supports first-person capture and future multimodal AI features. Requires XREAL Beam Pro. June 2025 (expected)[7]

Prescription Lens Support

XREAL has partnered with HONSVR to provide custom prescription lens inserts for the XREAL One Pro. These inserts feature a different design compared to those for previous XREAL glasses models and are not cross-compatible.[3]

Availability and Pricing

  • Pre-order Date: 4 December 2024 (Global)[1], January 2025 (CES related announcements)[2]
  • Expected Shipping: Expected shipping Q2 2025 (pre-order fulfillment from late April 2025[3], initially expected March 2025[2])
  • Price: US$599 / £549 / €649 at launch.[2]
  • Pre-order Bonus: A complimentary XREAL Hub adapter was offered for orders placed before March 14, 2025, in some regions.[13]

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.”[5]
  • VentureBeat highlighted the X1 chip as “the biggest leap forward in consumer AR since tethered glasses became mainstream.”[14]
  • Engadget stated they were "suitably impressed" with how the device addressed common AR glasses issues.[15]

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.
