XREAL Beam Pro, The AR Glasses Spatial Computing Companion, 3D Cameras, Android 14, Supports All Google Play Store apps, Multiple Spatial Experiences for Movies, TV and Gaming, FHD 1080p (8G+256G)

Exceeds my expectations - physically it resembles, and when the Xreal glasses are unplugged, works like a nice rather larger display Android phone. It runs every app I have thrown at it very nicely. Plug the Xreal glasses in and you move into the world of the Nebula OS. Now that takes some getting used to! To control the cursor I expected the phone maybe to act like a trackpad, but it does not! Instead (and it dawned on me because we are dealing in 3d space) it works like an air mouse! Once I figured that out, and then to press and hold the home icon at the bottom of the phones screen when I got lost, I stopped cursing it :) It works great... the ^$%# thing was not defective after all!!I mostly use it to watch videos and for that this combo is great. You can enlarge the virtual screen up to a giant size like you are in the front row at the theater and the quality remains very high, Wow! I have only dabbled with the 3d camera a little but it seems to work very well and is a nice bonus feature!To me this unit is a bargain for what all it does and I am very happy with it so far.

So if this is the best Android device for glasses why 4 and not 5 stars? Primarily its because of the nebulaOS. While I love the Beam Pro as a great Android device, as a XREAL designed device its lacking.Because they decided to base their OS for their glasses on Unity, you need to use a beefy CPU even to just stream while in their OS. You also MUST use the 8gig version as the video buffer is copied quite a few times between the Android OS, Unity and then to the texture on your AR screen. That said its not completely XREAL's fault here. Google has been really late to the game developing ARCore (Their own API) as just an API standard. What's worst is that they even haven't designed a front face for the Android device that works as well as say the Beam, aka, put The YouTube app in the upper corner of your eyes or have a super large Virtual Screen with multipole apps running. Its hard for a small company to completely rewrite the screen interface in Android since it also means they have to release the source code too.As for the device itself its honestly everything I want in an Android device. Both USB-C ports act as power delivery and this is the only USB-C based display port I have had NO issues using on anything (to HDMI or DP). The cameras are very good and the LCD is crisp. Its also very light weight. My only real complaint is power usage. If you use the Beam, as a portable Chromecast, it can last upwards of 3 hours. This device, at best, last 2. Mind you this is with the glasses in full use as well as the screen for touch pad. However if you do not use the glasses constantly, this thing lasts forever on its battery, almost 5 hours of heavy usage.All in all, This is a great device if you need something powerful for android with a good camera and lots of features and is now definitely my backup home device. In fact I would of switched to it as my primary phone if it had a phone chip in it. Who knows, maybe Google will get off its sorry ass and make a better display driver people can program in:PPS - While I harp on XREAL a bit, they ARE the best AR company by far. Even if its Unity, the fact they HAVE a decent API and software is a huge win. I have AR glasses from Epson to throwaway Kickstarter brands and they have, by far, nailed what average people want for AR..well currently atleast.

Bought XREAL Air 2 Pro AR Glasses a few weeks before getting the XREAL Beam Pro Phone just to get the full AR experience with XREAL! Overall the experience has been outstanding and I recommendate everyone to try it!The image quality is outstanding, with vibrant colors and crisp details that make movies, presentations, and games come to life. The portability is a huge plus – I can easily take it anywhere, and the built-in battery lasts surprisingly long, even during extended use.Setup was a breeze, and the user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. Since I am a huge movie lover and I do travel a lot, having the phone paired with the glasses enables me to take my personal movie theaters anywhere I go.Rapid charging with type c charing port and decent battery long can last movies and games to finish.Overall, if you are a big traveller like me, recommendated to get the set for next level AR experiences.

I returned this item, recommended by the Xreal website. I have an I phone15. I received a quick course on using my I phone. It was the best case scenario for me. There are things that this device provides that I will not be able to accomplish with the I phone. I may try this device later. but for now I’m doing alright without it.

This thing is pretty awesome. It allowed me to view any app I could get on my android phone in an AR window, which was so sweet. However, the drawbacks for me were too many to justify my purchase.3D photos and videos are cool. However, when that feature is turned off on the camera, the camera is very lackluster. Everything looks very flat and grainy when zooming into photos taken on the camera.The device is large, bulky and heavy. I understand many modern phones are, but I'm still rocking a note 10, which is half the size and more than double the power of this device.This device is NOT a phone. Honestly, if it were I probably would have kept it. The inability to put my SIM in it and thus have to carry another device that is bulkier than my phone and half as powerful is just unjustifiable for me. If I could have at least used it as a phone, for the price of $300, would have totally kept and used it. But I don't need another $300 toy that I mostly was using for GBA emulation on a huge floating screen. I'll deal with casting my screen to a TV.
