Next generation XREAL Air 2 and XREAL Air 2 Pro AR glasses upgrade to the latest Micro-OLED display technology, combining a more comfortable, lightweight design with an improved visual and audio experience, and new customization options, release in US and Europe soon 

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco, USA - October 24, 2023 - XREAL's mission is to bring augmented reality (AR) to everyone. XREAL (formerly "Nreal") today announced XREAL Air 2 and XREAL Air 2 Pro for the US, UK, and additional European markets. XREAL opened pre-orders today for the company's latest innovative consumer AR glasses that will ship to customers starting in November. The eagerly anticipated XREAL Air 2 series builds on the momentum of its predecessor, XREAL Air, the first consumer AR glasses introduced to the world in 2022.

The XREAL Air 2 series marks the third AR glasses product XREAL has brought onto the world stage. Its first AR glasses, XREAL Light, was brought to market in 2019 through partnerships with leading carriers in South Korea, Japan, Germany, Spain and the US; this pioneering device was meant for developers and enterprise customers. The 2022 launch of XREAL Air unveiled the era of wearable display for consumers. Since its launch, XREAL Air has become the best-selling consumer AR glasses on the market today, due in large part to XREAL ensuring the glasses work great with leading gaming and streaming entertainment devices including Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Valve Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, iOS and Android devices, PCs and Macs and more.

"At XREAL, we believe augmented reality holds the promise of a paradigm shift for how people interact with technology," said Peng Jin, XREAL Co-Founder. "We believe the era of wearable displays is here. Over the past four decades, the methods in which people have interacted with technology have evolved to allow us to put stereos, record players, telephones, high-powered computers and small screen entertainment in our pockets. XREAL AR glasses first allowed the world to put big screen TVs, theater-quality projectors and full HD monitors in their pockets, transforming what entertainment and productivity can look and feel like on the go and at home for extended sessions. We've found that 50-60% of our customers spend between one and three hours every time they use XREAL AR glasses. These longer engagements drove our decision to focus on comfort and wearability for XREAL Air 2, while maintaining superior display and fidelity."

Introducing XREAL Air 2

Ushering in the era of comfortable wearable displays, XREAL Air 2 AR glasses can turn whatever the wearer is viewing into a big screen experience, up to 330-inches. Featuring the latest Micro-OLED displays, the new XREAL Air 2 series is lighter and thinner than the previous generation, with a higher pixel density and improved brightness and color reproduction, giving people the most comfortable and visually stunning AR experience XREAL has ever produced.

Designed to give any wearer the means to express their own style, XREAL Air 2 series glasses are available in two sleek colorways, Graphite Gray and the all new Carmine Red. The XREAL Air 2 series also debuts the fun and fashion-forward XREAL Kaleido Kit. Other new features include an improved audio and microphone system, and one-touch immersion control using XREAL Electromagnetic Dimming (Air 2 Pro only).

Next-Generation Display Technology

As the world's first AR glasses to feature the latest Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation's 0.55-inch Micro-OLED displays, XREAL Air 2 series AR glasses pack an incredible 4,032 pixels-per-inch, delivering a crisp and visually stunning virtual screen experience at 49 pixels-per-degree (PPD). A Full HD display resolution of 1920 x 1080 per eye, an ultra-high contrast ratio of 100,000:1, and 500 nits brightness ensure content is presented in incredibly sharp detail.

Each Micro-OLED display has been precisely calibrated to meet the Gamma 2.2 standard so that wearers can enjoy accurate color reproduction without sacrificing image quality. XREAL Air 2 series AR glasses have a response rate speed of 0.01 milliseconds or less, and pack a fast refresh-rate of up to 120Hz.

Thinner, Lighter, More Comfortable Design

As a wearable display that people can enjoy for extended periods, XREAL is committed to improving and optimizing the comfort and wearability of its AR glasses. By usage category, 68% of respondents to a recent survey said they wear XREAL AR glasses for at least one hour when they're engaged in productivity tasks, 57% for streaming movies and TV, and 47% wear XREAL AR glasses for at least one hour when playing video games.

Comfort is key and the integration of smaller Micro-OLED displays means that XREAL Air 2 series AR glasses are approximately 10% thinner and 10% lighter than previous models, improving overall comfortability. New and improved elastic temples meet the needs of all wearers, regardless of head-size, and feature softer materials that feel more natural to the touch.

XREAL Air 2 series AR glasses are painstakingly designed for optimal balance that improves comfort and minimizes pressure from the glasses on the wearer's face. Comfort is further aided with the XREAL Air 2 new and improved AirFit nose pads that offer day-long comfort. AR glasses like the XREAL Air 2 series are known to help alleviate neck pain from people craning their head and neck downward when using their phones and computers.

One-Touch Dimming Control with XREAL Air 2 Pro

XREAL Air 2 Pro introduces XREAL Electrochromic Dimming that allows wearers to select the immersion level of their AR glasses virtual-screen experience. At the touch of a button, they can instantly select from three pre-configured immersion modes:

  • Transparent Mode is configured at 0%, and blocks no light through the lenses, ideal for when users need to be aware of the world around them, e.g., wearing around the home, or traveling on public transportation.
  • Productivity Mode is configured at 35%, reducing the amount of light that travels through the lenses, ideal for people who want to focus better on the task at hand without entirely shutting out their surroundings.
  • Immersive Mode is set at 100% and blocks all light to give wearers the most immersive experience, perfect for enthralling gaming sessions, or watching TV and movies at home.

Cinematic Audio and Improved Voice Calls

XREAL Air 2 series AR glasses feature an improved audio speaker system that makes wearers feel like they're in the front row at the cinema, without disrupting others around them. This upgraded audio system includes unique spatial wrap-around audio delivery using an open ear design targeted only for the wearer to hear. This brings enhanced privacy and minimizes disruption to others when in public spaces.

Because smartphones and PCs are leading input sources for XREAL AR glasses, enhancing owners' communications applications can't be overlooked, like phone calls and video calls. That's why XREAL Air 2 series owners can also expect an improved voice call experience. EQ calibrated beamforming microphones capture the wearer's voice clearly during calls, making conversations feel more natural than ever.

Express Your Style with XREAL Air 2

Answering people's demand to express their own unique style when wearing AR glasses, XREAL Air 2 series AR glasses debut the XREAL Kaleido Kit, a collection of adhesive skins that can be added to the front frame of the glasses. Owners can select from six colors including Navy Blue, Verdigris, Royal Blue, Dale Dogwood, Jonquil, and Dartmouth Green.

Along with a choice of Graphite Gray and Carmine Red colorways, XREAL Air 2 series AR glasses debut a new travel case, a new light shield, and include both USB C-C and USB C-HDMI custom cables.

Industry-leading TÜV Rheinland Certificates

XREAL Air 2 and XREAL Air 2 Pro have been awarded four certificates from TÜV Rheinland Greater China, for the AR product's Color Accuracy, Eye Comfort, Low Blue Light, and Flicker Free, demonstrating the excellent performance of the devices in terms of eye health and user experience. According to TÜV Rheinland's color accuracy certification requirements, XREAL Air 2 and XREAL Air 2 Pro AR glasses have attained an industry-leading level by achieving an average color accuracy of ∆E2000<3 in the sRGB color gamut with 125 colors in a dark room. This indicates that this series of XREAL AR glasses can truly present colors and provide wearers with a more realistic, immersive experience. At the same time, TÜV Rheinland scrutinized the calibration procedures of the XREAL production line. Each pair of glasses undergoes uniform color calibration before leaving the factory to ensure mass production quality consistency.

Pricing and Availability

XREAL Air 2 and XREAL Air 2 Pro are available now for pre-orders at XREAL.com in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Italy for $399 USD, £399 GBP and €459 for Air 2 and for $449 USD, £449 GBP and €515 for Air 2 Pro. XREAL Air 2 series AR glasses are expected to be available from Amazon beginning in November.

XREAL Air 2 series AR glasses are expected to begin shipping to customers in the US and UK in mid-to-late November and are expected for additional European countries in December. Both products are also available now in China and Japan.

About XREAL

Founded in 2017 by former employees from Magic Leap, Google, and AMD, XREAL (formerly Nreal) has grown to be the global leader in the design and manufacture of consumer AR glasses, with offices in the US, Japan, Korea, and China.
