CES 2026: XReal 1S: The Next Big Thing in Augmented Reality Glasses
CES 2026 is just around the corner, and XReal is set to make a splash with the launch of its latest augmented reality (AR) glasses, the XReal 1S. But what makes this new release so special? Well, it's not just an upgrade; it's a significant price drop, making AR technology more accessible than ever before.
The XReal 1S is a game-changer for AR enthusiasts, offering a range of impressive features that set it apart from its predecessors. With a 500-inch spatial screen, it takes the immersive experience to a whole new level, up from the 147-inch screen of the XReal One. The 52-degree field of view is also an improvement, though still slightly less than the XReal One Pro's 57 degrees. But that's not all - the XReal 1S boasts 1200P HD resolution, a significant upgrade from the 1080P resolution of both the XReal One and One Pro. And with a brightness of up to 700 nits, it outshines the One's 600 nits, though it matches the One Pro's brightness.
One of the standout features of the XReal 1S is its 3D spatial technology, which allows users to convert 2D games and videos into 3D. This is a major upgrade from the XReal One, which doesn't offer this feature. And like its predecessors, the XReal 1S features Native 3DoF (degrees of freedom) spatial anchoring, allowing users to keep the screen in one place. It also includes electrochromatic dimming and a USB-C plug-in, and is powered by the X1 chip. The glasses come in a stylish cobalt blue, a refreshing change from the black of the other models.
The XReal 1S is now available for pre-order on the XReal website and Amazon. So, if you're an AR enthusiast or just looking for a new way to enhance your viewing experience, the XReal 1S is definitely worth checking out. But here's where it gets controversial... Is the XReal 1S the future of AR glasses, or just a step in the right direction? And this is the part most people miss... The XReal 1S may be a significant upgrade, but it's still not perfect. So, what do you think? Is the XReal 1S the AR glasses you've been waiting for? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
