XREAL Aura, the company’s first pair of Android XR-based glasses, are set to officially get a price point soon as the first sales figures have come in, and it’s pretty popular so far.
Taking a step back, XREAL Aura are Android XR-based glasses with a display. Unlike the smaller glasses expected to start showing up next year, Aura has built-in displays and somewhat mimics the functionality of a VR headset, just in a much smaller form factor. Unlike previous XREAL glasses, Aura includes a control puck that houses the components needed to run Android XR.
And, apparently, it’s a bit of a hit.
XREAL has confirmed today that it has surpassed 10,000 reservations for Aura since June – probably not bad given we don’t even know how much this hardware will cost outside of that it will be “under $1,500.” The company calls this an “exciting signal” of demand for Aura.
This also comes as the early bird reservation deal has ended. Initially, interested buyers could deposit $99 to get a $199 credit when orders actually opened. That’s now gone, the company says, but $199 deposits remain available on XREAL’s website.
