TL;DR

XREAL has opened sales of its affordable a01 Plus AR glasses in the US.

The glasses offer a Micro OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1,600 nits of peak brightness, all in a lightweight 62g build.

The X by XREAL a01 Plus are priced at $299 in the US.

XREAL launched its sub-brand X by XREAL alongside the a01 — its first pair of affordable AR glasses — back in May. At that time, the glasses were only available in China, and the company was expected to launch them in the US in July. Now, that’s finally happening, and with a slight upgrade to boot.

The company has finally opened US sales of its glasses. However, the “a01” glasses have been upgraded to the “a01 Plus”, and there’s a small but useful difference between the two. The a01 Plus AR glasses come with a detachable light shield to block out ambient light from ruining your experience. Other than that, the a01 and the a01 Plus are exactly the same.
