Xreal’s new gadget is a phone-sized Android tablet just for your AR glasses


The Beam Pro is a camera and a controller, but it’s not a smartphone.

Xreal has made a name for itself with some surprisingly nice-looking augmented reality glasses, which put a display in front of your eyes so you can do things like watch TV or play games on a giant screen projected just for you. It runs a customized version of Android 14 — Xreal calls it NebulaOS — and should be able to load most apps onto your face screen. The specs here are pure smartphone: the Beam Pro has a 6.5-inch, 2400 x 1800 screen, runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor(though it’s not clear which one), and has either 6GB or 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage.
