XREAL confirms that its tethered XR glasses, XREAL Aura—built with Google’s Android XR platform—are moving toward a consumer release later this year. Multiple outlets report that paid reservations are available starting June 16, with a $99 reservation price noted by The Verge and echoed across coverage. While XREAL has not published a final retail price in all reports, Digital Trends and 9to5Google cite XREAL’s statement that Aura is expected to cost under $1,500.
The expected launch window is “this fall,” with The Verge specifically listing planned availability in the US, UK, Japan, Canada, and South Korea. XREAL Aura is also positioned as an AI-enabled spatial computing device using Android XR and Gemini, according to Digital Trends and other summaries.
Outlets also point to confirmed content and software support for the platform, including games and apps highlighted in XREAL’s announcements. A separate PR Newswire release frames the launch as a new step for XREAL’s lightweight XR glasses, while Engadget notes that the company officially reveals the glasses without a price disclosed at the time of the announcement.
