- XREAL works on Android XR glasses
- They are the code Project aura (the same name of the rumor of Glass de Google, apparently)
- Glasses are a collaboration between Xreal, Google and Qualcomm
Google and Android XR Collab from Google and Samsung were a major objective, but at Google I / O 2025, a new partner (however familiar) emerged to present the second official Android XR device: XREAL with Project Aura.
XREAL and its XREAL One glasses are currently at the top of our list for the best smart glasses thanks to their impressive audio and visual quality.
However, although they include AR elements – they float your connected device (a phone, a laptop or a console) in front of you as if you were in a private cinema, which is fantastic elsewhere – they are not yet as versatile as other proposals for smart glasses that are promised to us by Google, Meta, Snap and others.
Xreal Project Aura – A PAI of XR glasses officially called Optical Transport XR (OST) – XREAL range to that of its competitors thanks to its advanced Qualcomm chipset, the expertise of the Visual System of XREAL and the Android XR software from Google. Whose combination should (hopefully) form a more realized space computer device than we have already seen from Xreal.
As exciting as this advertisement is – I will explain more below in a moment – we must keep our emotions under control until other details on Project will have been revealed at the Auventd World Exo (AWE) in June, and in other announcements which should be made “later this year” (according to Xreal).
Quite simply because beyond its existence and its general conception, we know very little about aura.
We can see that he has integrated cameras, we promised Qualcomm processors, and he seems to use the same two -eyed display technology presented by the other XREAL glasses. In addition, it will be attached rather than completely wirelessly, although it should always offer all the Android XR capabilities that Google has presented.
But important questions such as its cost and release date have not yet been detailed.
I hope that this will offer us a more profitable entry point in this new era of XR glasses, but we will have to wait and see before knowing with certainty if it is “a moment of breakthrough for the real world XR” as Chi Xu, co-founder and CEO of Xreal promised.
However, even before I know its specifications and other key factors, I look into agree with the CEO of Xreal.
So why is this Xreal Android XR potentially so important in my eyes?
Because if Meta has promised that her horizon bone will appear on non -metal helmets – from Asus, Lenovo and Xbox – since this announcement, we have not seen anything of these other helmets in more than a year. That is to say beyond a whisper on the winds (read: a small leak) on the project of Asus Tarius.
Android XR, on the other hand, has not only confirmed collaborations between Google and other companies (Xreal and Samsung) not only, but has shown these devices in action.
They are not only promises, they are real.
Now, the key decision factor will be so Android XR can be revealed as an operating system that rivals OS in terms of width and quality of its XR applications. With Google, Samsung, Xreal, and more behind, I am convinced that this will be the case.
If it is up to my expectations, Android XR could seriously shake up Meta dominance XR thanks to the varied XR material options under its umbrella – this should lead to competition, which has led to the devices and prices for American consumers.
We will have to continue to see how Android XR develops, but it seems that Google has a very strong start. For the first time for some time, the meta could finally be on the rear foot in the XR space, and the ball is in its courtyard to answer.
