XREAL introduced the XREAL 1S augmented reality glasses and an optional Neo hub at CES 2026. The 1S produces a larger virtual display than the previous model and adds a few hardware upgrades. The glasses support anchored virtual screens and an optional camera module for improved tracking and recording. The Neo hub bundles a battery and DisplayPort functionality to address device compatibility and charging limits. Key details: - Standard virtual screen is 171 inches with a 16:10 aspect ratio; the virtual display can be extended up to 500 inches and supports wider ratios like 21:9 and 32:9. - Peak brightness is increased to 700 nits (from 600) and resolution to 1200p (from 1080p); refresh rate remains 120Hz. - The glasses offer 3DoF tracking by default; the optional XREAL Eye camera module enables 6DoF anchoring and supports photo and video recording. - XREAL describes the Neo as a 10,000mAh external battery and DisplayPort hub that lets devices charge while connected and provides video passthrough where native DisplayPort Alt Mode is not available. - The company says Neo enables Nintendo Switch streaming to the glasses without a dock (up to 1080p at up to 120Hz) and allows Steam Deck output up to 1200p at up to 120Hz when used with XREAL glasses. - Availability and pricing: XREAL 1S is listed at $450 (a $50 reduction from the previous model) and the Neo hub at $100; both are available from Amazon, Best Buy, and XREAL's online store. Summary: The XREAL 1S and Neo hub expand the company's portable virtual-display options by increasing screen size, brightness, resolution, and device compatibility. Undetermined at this time.
