The eagerly awaited Xreal Aura XR glasses, developed through a partnership between Xreal and Google, have officially opened for preorder. Priced at $99, these innovative glasses represent the second Android XR device from the tech giants. The full launch is expected to reach markets in the US, UK, Japan, Canada, and South Korea this Fall.
The Xreal Aura marks a notable advancement following Google's first Android-powered XR device, the Samsung Galaxy XR headset, which debuted at a hefty price of $1,799 in October 2025. Although the exact retail price for the Aura has yet to be announced, it has been characterized by Google as "a headset masquerading as glasses." Best Buy is set to be the first retail partner offering the device in stores, hinting at a major step forward in making XR technology more accessible to consumers.
