It won't ever replace PC. It's not a PC it's mobile in AR, and it won't replace TV because on mobile, you don't get free access to channels, and it could replace tablets except for 1 little thing which is note taking and digital art you could do air writing but it's not as convinent as writing on canvas unless they could make it in such way where you could bring it down on a flat surface. I see it replacing tablets, maybe TV, but never PC. Nothing could replace PC or smartphones because smartphones can't ever be better than PC and PC can't ever best smartphones.

Do not get xreals. The screens are positioned too high, and your eyes will strain looking up. You cannot fix this by adjusting because the projector screen is only on the upper half of the glasses. The software is also lacking. You can’t even adjust the screen’s position digitally unless you get the dumb beam, which is about as useful as a 10 year old android phone. When you do adjust it using the beam, it gets cutoff because again, the projector screen only exists on the upper half of the glasses. It’s also hard to see through the glasses because too many rims, one from the projector screen and one from the glasses. It’s like you’re wearing two glasses. You are paying $500 for a prototype. Do not buy this thing. Wait a couple more years or more.
Mine are fine for me. I chose the correct nose guards and I like the fact I can look down and see what's in front of me while watching something without having to fully take off the glasses.
Also there's a xBeam app for android.. It completely replaces the xBeam. So you just need one device, one cable, connect direct to Glasses. Still has all the xbeam features like all the display modes, but with superior software running on superior hardware. Even allowing support for more xbeam apps & 3rd party VR apps!

ive been using samsung dex and the air pro 2 since it came out, its the best on a plane. I take my old fold 3 filled to the brim with movies\plex with me traveling too. I use a small bluetooth keyboard with touchpad to my main fold 5 with teamviewer/splashtop/ google remote to work remotely when I travel overseas. Put the cover over the front when you are in the airport and people think you are blind and leave you alone FYI. Also the beam sucks ass and gets hot in the plane and I thought it was going to explode, it kept shutting itsself off just watching movies....
And what about your eyes? How does it feel ? Are you tired ? Would eyesight deteriorate after year or two ? I use monitor for 35 years and don't waer any corrective glasses..
This is still in it's infancy. But good progress. We always need early adopters for this kind of stuff. I see the future for this as it's in the glass, it will be in prescription glasses. The next iteration will be contacts and contact lenses for sure.
I will say that I've felt a bit of eye strain at times. I had my gf try them on and she said noticed the extra strain within a minute and coincidentally referenced the feeling of watching a TV too close. I lower the screen brightness whenver possible and that seems to minimize the eye strain feeling. I try to avoid high brightness mode by using it with the lens at the dark setting. I'll switch the lens to transparent to take a break and look at other things in the distance. Using it while the lens is transparent requires the screen brightness to be turned up a good amount. The eye strain is the same feeling when fixated on your phone screen for extended periods. But while using the phone screen, its a lot easier to look up and around to give your eyes intermittent breaks.
That's a pretty fair concern! We understand. Our AR glasses have been tested and certified Low Blue Light and Flicker Free, however we do encourage taking breaks between use.
The fact that most people use samsung dex for xreal glasses as primary driver states the limitation of the software an application.

However, great for media consumption.
I would definitely argue that using DeX this was is in the complete minority. Most use it with a monitor, on a TV or on the device in the case of a Galaxy Tab
I want this to work, but had to return mine. The image is too high and can’t be controlled enough, since the screen is only half the lenses. So you will forever be trying to look up higher to raise the image with your neck, rather than digitally. Secondly, if you are used to decent screens, like OLED or hi res MacBook, you’ll be dissapointed with the resolution and brightness. It’s more of a ghost of a movie. Fine for some uselsss Netflix show I guess, but not technical or detailed YT videos. The resolution is just not there. This is a prototype sadly. I hope they succeed.
the resolution is 1080p, while that isn't insane, if you're saying it's "ghost of a movie" it's probably simply not dark enough. the newer glasses have electrochromic dimming, but really the glasses are kinda not so much meant to be used in the bright light outdoors simply because the amount of ambient light makes any projector style image have to compete with the ambient light. there's not really many ways around this from a technical standpoint without like beaming lasers into your eyes (obviously bad for your eyes)
Did you know just about every manufacturer makes a laptop in 4k which is a higher resolution than a Mac laptop so technically the friut laptop is low resolution, not high resolution. What an amazing advertising company they are.
My man Daniel on the cutting edge of real world use and tech for Samsung as always! always a pleasure learning. I guess THIS is a precursor to Samsungs upcoming XR glasses right? Trust me the next wave isn't just XR glasses and sleek design and power effiency and camera quality and immersion. Its in communication! silent communication via ASL!
I wanted to try this, but DeX is still trash for ppt or Excel. It's great fot word processing, but that's just not something I do. Once windows on ARM machind starts going mobile though, this will become my main device.
Dont get if you have prescription glasses. The arm to adjust around the ear is not good. Some devices outside samsung need converting cables hdmi-usbc. Minihdmi-normal hdmi- usbc. Please understand what your device is using.
A stick pc? Bro do you not realise high end phones nowadays come with 16GB ram + Exynos/Snapdragon chips and Samsung DeX and you already have one in your pocket... Even just thinking about running a SoC(Stick pc😂😂) on this when i have a z fold 512gb in my pocket is truly insane
@@wahidpawana424 you can run your own code on a rooted android, so essentially anything you want so im unsure what you mean there when you say android isnt capable
My late wife used to admonish me "Bob! You've got your face buried in your phone again!" With the Xreal, she'd be yanking them off my face to see if I was asleep! 😉
I've been saying this for years. Once AR is ready and the world catches on about it, everything changes. No more TV's, computer monitors, movie theaters, home wall furnishings, etc needed. If it is something you can see, you can see it through AR glasses. No more need for bulky VR headsets. Headphones can be replaced and more. You can sit in your empty (if you'd like) living room in a comfy chair. Have a side desk for holding drinks and such. And enjoy all your visual products inside your glasses. With hand tracking, you can ditch physical keyboards and touch screens, mice/touch pads for mere plastic props. Costs can plumet when you exchange all the expensive electronics for a set of AR glasses. I suppose even stay-cations become vastly more potential choices when you can tour the world at home through your glasses. When AR catches on, it could almost destroy the whole electronics department in a general super store.
No I love your vision, I see what your seeing but no. I have just the right balance of 65" TV at 4 meters and 14.6" tablet at 0.5 meters. In between I have large windows where the dappled light filters through the large trees that cover my block and the birds stand at the windows and look in. I don't want this recreated in a vr headset but I do want a vr headset.
as someone who bought into the NReal experiance with both Dex and Ipad I will be honest in that I cant use it for something as simple as bg3 because it makes me nauseated. Its cool for travelling on like a plane but trying to use them for navigation while riding a bike also made me kind of dizzy as does occulus if the game is fun with movement. It is cool and I loved using it on the plane but I always choose a large tv or a computer monitor to get the best dex experience if honest. If like in a shared space environment/barracks etc. I imagine best investment ever but if you got screens easier to multi task
The beam is kinda meh but xreal and dex is really nice been using it for 6 months and rly enjoy it. Only thing the cable broke abit fast sol had too replace
I wear glasses and I'm curious too. I suspect you can see the projected image well - by adjusting it's diopter. But I guess you probably can't use the pass-through capability if you are short-sighted.
for the trackpad, when you plug in your phone that has dex (on newer versions of android) it shows a small white square bottom left on your phone's screen.. you click that and it brings up the touchpad. I know, it's stupidly unintuitive.old dex had an option tile/app notification type option you could press (like an application notification message). (edit: bottom left not bottom right)
Thank you. I know how to bring up the trackpad for DeX. The problem I had was that I would run over the trackpad and it wasn't registering on the UI. I've since tried again and it's working. Must have been a bug
Glad you mentioned the reason for using for dex.Because at first i was thinking what the purpose was Dont get me wrong love Dex but now from watching i get it. Thanks so much for sharing Enjoyed. 💯✌️
Lol- my gf always has to make a comment whenever she sees me typing and clicking away while looking slightly upwards when I have mine on. It does look amusing now that i see what it looks like! Utility while in a plane has definitely been the number one use case for me since I typically fly at least once a month. Also more convenient than trying to work off a laptop screen while in a car (e.g. in a parking lot while everyone else goes into Costco!). In the long run, better than being hunched over a laptop or phone for hours!
Gosh! I just got the Meta Quest 3 and now I feel I should have gotten this one instead. 🤦🏻♀️ I'm on the run constantly, because I'm a flight attendant, so , I think this should have been more convenient. 😕 When do you think anyone should get one or the other? You should do a video about it. 😉
Hey Danial. I've been trying to use the live camera option when finding my smarttag 2, but I cannot find that option. I asked Samsung why, and they said it doesn't exist in Australia. However, I saw you using it in the review of the smarttag 2, so I'm confused. Do you have any issues with it now? Is there a way to fix it? Thanks
I really wanted to buy these. But what stoping me is the position on the face. I never wore glasses so high up on the nose. That’s just weird. It’s either make a headset or if you go for glasses, look how people wear it and try to put projectors accordingly
did you get your IPad Pro with macOS back ?? Mr Jobs assume that was you. Tempted to get these how is it for say if you wanted to switch devices, like say kvm setup? What’s the difference between the air 2 pro and ultras?
How many screens could I get Dex to push to? Could I connect my S24 ultra up to both a projector and touchscreen monitor (probably needing a dock I'd imagine) in a way that I could live annotate a PDF being projected?
I have a crazy question. I thought apps on Samsung used to make separate sounds but now I can't find it anywhere. My reminders now make the same sound as every notification
Wouldn't it be better to buy the air 2 ultra? It's my understanding that they don't need the Beem to keep the screens fixed and locked? Without needing the Beem, the price is about the same, and you have less to lug around and plug in.
for me it is only the begining of Glasses Tech. Next are only one glasse level. not two. attach mini cameras (on usb-c) to each side of the glasses and be able to choose a real visual contribution such as reducing the light, or using them in the dark (with increased brightness) better by adding Thermal/Infrared to see in the dark
Good review, I'm considering my first purchase of these types of glasses. I see it's been 5 months since you posted this review, do you still use these glasses as much as you thought you would?
Do you know if you can still use Dex with the new Beam Pro. Some people have said you can only share your screen but I presume if you can do that you can also link wirelessly with dex. I am using S24 Ultra.
I like my Ray-Ban Stories glasses, but often wished I could have augmented reality included. I want to get the second gen of the Ray-Ban Meta (now), but still want AR. Why can't they combine glasses like these with those nice camera glasses?
When can I expect too be able to purchase in Canada? As of right now there is no shipping option? Also there are a lot of scammers sites out there trying to get your money be aware. 😉👍
I've never tried any such product. Wonder how it actually feels in terms of field of view. An earlier version was tried as sort VR glasses for sim racing, and the screen was said to be too small to be considered good.
Great review, I'm wondering about things like battery life, what resolution it gives, how it could be used by someone who needs prescription lenses. Also I think you forgot to include the link to Xreal in your description, or at least I can't find it at the time I'm commenting (since this vid is brand new, maybe you haven't yet added the link and I'm commenting too soon :)
The glasses are 1080p OLED panels and can run up to 120hz and 400nits brightness. In terms of battery life, if you're not using the Beam for power then they take power from the connected device and you can buy a USB C splitter adaptor (called xreal hub adaptor) which allows video out and power in up to 45w which is what I use with my Steam Deck.
A bit hard to follow, maybe slow down an annunciate. Also, I didn't know what the item was prior to viewing, it was over 3 minutes in before that was explained.
So how do they compare to a VR Headset for watching 3D and VR content and gaming? I suppose the limitation would be the computing power of the phone...
They're VERY different. I don't know if they support head tracking - so most VR stuff is out. The 3d viewing? Sure - fairly large screen --- but it's a floating screen in front of you - not a full vision mode like VR. Note the comments saying the screen image is "too high" --- it's half the lens - the bottom remains clear. The sides leak light. They work. For 3d movies? With the proper player and everything? Sure. But they aren't immersive.
When you arrived at London and began recording yourself talking in front of the camera while walking . . . what microphone or audio equipment did you use to make it sound like you were inside a soundproof room?
I used a Hollyland wireless mic plugged into my Z Fold 5! Then I cleaned it up a bit in post. Microphones these days are crazy good at voice isolation though
@@techwithbenefits - Thank you. Is it the Lark Mark 2 model? Love you videos! Discovered you not long ago and watch you through any one of my TH-cam accounts. Fantastic attention to details.
I have always had problems charging the phone while DeX is running. Are there any portable or plugged in chargers that don't leave the phones battery slowly charging.
XReal Air 1 has a much better zipup case and is more compatible with more face shapes downsides are they're a bit thicker and the blackout cover doesn't have light guards
the beam pro + ULTRA would make it near the premium price but the media device you get is just epic a smart phone style device and motion tracking from the Air 2 ultra this is very tempting tech over another HDR monitor that most lilkey will still suck
I have the S23 Ultra and the Beam. You do not need the beam for these glasses to work. As said in the video, the Beam just unlocks that stable positioning. just think of the glasses by themselves as a computer monitor. as long a you have a device that supports Display and power over USBC they'll work.
@@chinesecheeunit For pointing devices preferred BT mouse & BT keyboard, and most comfortable to use, correct? I have Galaxy S23 FE should work with this, and any smart glasses that's also, true?
@@lse123polis For bt keyboard and mouse, honestly it depends on what you want to do. I only watch mostly TH-cam so I don't ever use any accessory because the S23 as a trackpad is more than enough. And yes from what I read online S23 FE supports Dex. only a handful of Samsung devices support Dex. Technically most other Android phones support display over USBC but you'll really want a Dex phone for ideal use. The latest iPhones and iPads with USBC work as well but without Dex and screen off capabilities, they're very limited for on the go usage. I encourage you to take a look at the Xreal subreddit for more details
One (though I could be wrong) --- but it's one floating screen. It isn't high enough resolution to support more than one, and doesn't have the field of view of a VR headset. Even if you could hack some method of getting more, you'd likely be very unhappy with the way it worked.
Im thinking of bringing a windows gaming laptop when travelling, attach 4 of these with ps5 controllers to play FIFA 24 with them 😁, that would be coolest thing ever. or even mortal combat😁. but im sure plane power plugs don't support 180 watts
Is it true that you don't need a physical beam and can instead use the Nebula app to achieve a body anchor, side view, and smooth follow effect? Additionally, can I use the Nebula app to place windows in the corner of glasses? Thanks
the nebula app on Android is universally disliked from the Xreal community. it's really only a floating webview. Yes the nebula app has stabilization , but functionality is hella limited. While you can use Dex without the beam you lose stabilization so that's where the beam can come in but even that has over heating issues and battery draining. It's not a perfect device but it can provide benefits like this video showed.
I feel like there is too much emphasis on packaging, maybe I'm just weird. If something can make it to me without getting damaged, it can be sold in a ugly yellow envelope for all I care. I feel like fancy packaging (Materials cost) and the thought (R&D Costs) that go into it just add on to the price for no reason that matters in the long term.
this could be either dumb or genius to use on a bike. On a bike you won't have a lot of time looking away from the road so a HUD for navigation would be nice, but might also be distracting
You could use the side view and then have the transparency on so you can see. But I still probably wouldn't do it myself 😅 mainly because I would never ride a motorbike lol
i'm still surprised that apple didn't try to make something like this instead of the overpriced headset they made that honestly, is above my paygrade and even if i could afford it, it is not portable in the least and i'm not one of those people that need the whole world to know i'm using a branded tech. i like this xreal, looks inconspicuous for the most part. the apple one or even the meta quest looks so huge that you can't bring it outside albeit i assume it's for home use mostly.
"What does your daddy do?" "I don't know, he just wears sunglasses indoors and sits staring at the wall. He keeps writing with a keyboard something that no one can see. He says it is his job."

Most use it with a monitor, on a TV or on the device in the case of a Galaxy Tab
I want this to work, but had to return mine. The image is too high and can’t be controlled enough, since the screen is only half the lenses. So you will forever be trying to look up higher to raise the image with your neck, rather than digitally. Secondly, if you are used to decent screens, like OLED or hi res MacBook, you’ll be dissapointed with the resolution and brightness. It’s more of a ghost of a movie. Fine for some uselsss Netflix show I guess, but not technical or detailed YT videos. The resolution is just not there. This is a prototype sadly. I hope they succeed.
the resolution is 1080p, while that isn't insane, if you're saying it's "ghost of a movie" it's probably simply not dark enough. the newer glasses have electrochromic dimming, but really the glasses are kinda not so much meant to be used in the bright light outdoors simply because the amount of ambient light makes any projector style image have to compete with the ambient light. there's not really many ways around this from a technical standpoint without like beaming lasers into your eyes (obviously bad for your eyes)
Did you know just about every manufacturer makes a laptop in 4k which is a higher resolution than a Mac laptop so technically the friut laptop is low resolution, not high resolution. What an amazing advertising company they are.
Aren't the nose bridges bendable to adjust? Saw that in another video on these.
Great video! Thanks for checking us out 😎
My man Daniel on the cutting edge of real world use and tech for Samsung as always!
always a pleasure learning.
I guess THIS is a precursor to Samsungs upcoming XR glasses right?
Trust me the next wave isn't just XR glasses and sleek design and power effiency and camera quality and immersion.
Its in communication!
silent communication via ASL!
I wanted to try this, but DeX is still trash for ppt or Excel. It's great fot word processing, but that's just not something I do.
Once windows on ARM machind starts going mobile though, this will become my main device.
Put Linux on your phone.
Dont get if you have prescription glasses. The arm to adjust around the ear is not good. Some devices outside samsung need converting cables hdmi-usbc. Minihdmi-normal hdmi- usbc. Please understand what your device is using.
The older version (nreal, before xreal) is slightly nicer imo, but they feel bulkier than new version. I enjoy mine a lot.
pair this with a stick size pc and you would technically have a wearable PC.
A stick pc? Bro do you not realise high end phones nowadays come with 16GB ram + Exynos/Snapdragon chips and Samsung DeX and you already have one in your pocket... Even just thinking about running a SoC(Stick pc😂😂) on this when i have a z fold 512gb in my pocket is truly insane
@@Bz0Gaming yeah sure, but people still use PC for work. Last I check, you still can't run Microsoft Access on high end smartphone.
@@wahidpawana424 you can run your own code on a rooted android, so essentially anything you want so im unsure what you mean there when you say android isnt capable
@Bz0Gaming what is wrong with you? Go and bother someone else.
Bro how did you film the screen inside? Lol I had so much trouble filming inside. The only video that covers Dex with xreal.
Macro camera with his S24 Ultra
Used the Ultrawide on the S23 Ultra bro! It can act as a macro camera
He used the force ... the Scuteri force ;)
My late wife used to admonish me "Bob! You've got your face buried in your phone again!" With the Xreal, she'd be yanking them off my face to see if I was asleep! 😉
I've been saying this for years. Once AR is ready and the world catches on about it, everything changes. No more TV's, computer monitors, movie theaters, home wall furnishings, etc needed. If it is something you can see, you can see it through AR glasses. No more need for bulky VR headsets. Headphones can be replaced and more. You can sit in your empty (if you'd like) living room in a comfy chair. Have a side desk for holding drinks and such. And enjoy all your visual products inside your glasses. With hand tracking, you can ditch physical keyboards and touch screens, mice/touch pads for mere plastic props. Costs can plumet when you exchange all the expensive electronics for a set of AR glasses. I suppose even stay-cations become vastly more potential choices when you can tour the world at home through your glasses. When AR catches on, it could almost destroy the whole electronics department in a general super store.
No
I love your vision, I see what your seeing but no.
I have just the right balance of 65" TV at 4 meters and 14.6" tablet at 0.5 meters. In between I have large windows where the dappled light filters through the large trees that cover my block and the birds stand at the windows and look in. I don't want this recreated in a vr headset but I do want a vr headset.
as someone who bought into the NReal experiance with both Dex and Ipad I will be honest in that I cant use it for something as simple as bg3 because it makes me nauseated. Its cool for travelling on like a plane but trying to use them for navigation while riding a bike also made me kind of dizzy as does occulus if the game is fun with movement. It is cool and I loved using it on the plane but I always choose a large tv or a computer monitor to get the best dex experience if honest. If like in a shared space environment/barracks etc. I imagine best investment ever but if you got screens easier to multi task
Great review but one question. .. can they be worn over the top of prescription glasses?
I would be curious to see if they have accessories for those of us with glasses and bifocals.
Sure do! Our AR glasses come with prescription lens inserts.
The beam is kinda meh but xreal and dex is really nice been using it for 6 months and rly enjoy it. Only thing the cable broke abit fast sol had too replace
Is it really practical when talking about reading and getting work done ?
Regardless of the media consumption
Not sure how they'd work if you wear glasses
I wear glasses and I'm curious too. I suspect you can see the projected image well - by adjusting it's diopter. But I guess you probably can't use the pass-through capability if you are short-sighted.
They have a prescription insert that connects to the nose bridge.
When you get the prescription inserts, is it distance or reading you use?
Distance
I wish to know if watching movies with the glasses requires that the phone remains on or it can be turned off
Samsung dex and the main screen are independent of each other.
for the trackpad, when you plug in your phone that has dex (on newer versions of android) it shows a small white square bottom left on your phone's screen.. you click that and it brings up the touchpad. I know, it's stupidly unintuitive.old dex had an option tile/app notification type option you could press (like an application notification message). (edit: bottom left not bottom right)
Thank you. I know how to bring up the trackpad for DeX. The problem I had was that I would run over the trackpad and it wasn't registering on the UI.
I've since tried again and it's working. Must have been a bug
Glad you mentioned the reason for using for dex.Because at first i was thinking what the purpose was Dont get me wrong love Dex but now from watching i get it. Thanks so much for sharing Enjoyed. 💯✌️
What about using a magsafe case for the S24 Ultra and magsafe wireless charger with the phone to extend viewing time with these?
how do you feel it would affect your vison over long term use?
Those glasses need a white cane accessory.
a.k.a. wifi antenna ? 😹
Lol- my gf always has to make a comment whenever she sees me typing and clicking away while looking slightly upwards when I have mine on. It does look amusing now that i see what it looks like!
Utility while in a plane has definitely been the number one use case for me since I typically fly at least once a month. Also more convenient than trying to work off a laptop screen while in a car (e.g. in a parking lot while everyone else goes into Costco!). In the long run, better than being hunched over a laptop or phone for hours!
Nope
Look like freakin bono or my grans cattarach glasses
Legit love my Xreal glasses. Definitely not perfect but a good enough experience for me to enjoy
Great video Daniel!! Quick question where did you buy the usb hub to charge your phone?
There's a link in description
Gosh! I just got the Meta Quest 3 and now I feel I should have gotten this one instead. 🤦🏻♀️ I'm on the run constantly, because I'm a flight attendant, so , I think this should have been more convenient. 😕 When do you think anyone should get one or the other? You should do a video about it. 😉
Hey Danial. I've been trying to use the live camera option when finding my smarttag 2, but I cannot find that option. I asked Samsung why, and they said it doesn't exist in Australia. However, I saw you using it in the review of the smarttag 2, so I'm confused. Do you have any issues with it now? Is there a way to fix it? Thanks
I really wanted to buy these. But what stoping me is the position on the face. I never wore glasses so high up on the nose. That’s just weird. It’s either make a headset or if you go for glasses, look how people wear it and try to put projectors accordingly
did you get your IPad Pro with macOS back ?? Mr Jobs assume that was you. Tempted to get these how is it for say if you wanted to switch devices, like say kvm setup? What’s the difference between the air 2 pro and ultras?
How many screens could I get Dex to push to? Could I connect my S24 ultra up to both a projector and touchscreen monitor (probably needing a dock I'd imagine) in a way that I could live annotate a PDF being projected?
I have a crazy question. I thought apps on Samsung used to make separate sounds but now I can't find it anywhere. My reminders now make the same sound as every notification
Wouldn't it be better to buy the air 2 ultra? It's my understanding that they don't need the Beem to keep the screens fixed and locked? Without needing the Beem, the price is about the same, and you have less to lug around and plug in.
for me it is only the begining of Glasses Tech.
Next are only one glasse level. not two.
attach mini cameras (on usb-c) to each side of the glasses and be able to choose a real visual contribution such as reducing the light, or using them in the dark (with increased brightness) better by adding Thermal/Infrared to see in the dark
Good review, I'm considering my first purchase of these types of glasses. I see it's been 5 months since you posted this review, do you still use these glasses as much as you thought you would?
I love your backpack :) where did you get it? whats it called? the blue one.
Thank you!
It's the Nordace Sienna backpack. Great bag and reasonably priced too
Do you know if you can still use Dex with the new Beam Pro. Some people have said you can only share your screen but I presume if you can do that you can also link wirelessly with dex. I am using S24 Ultra.
I like my Ray-Ban Stories glasses, but often wished I could have augmented reality included. I want to get the second gen of the Ray-Ban Meta (now), but still want AR. Why can't they combine glasses like these with those nice camera glasses?
yeah that technology needs to be wireless, it just doesn't make much sense on a cable. equip it with some wireless hdmi or some other protocol.
I think when you launch decks wirelessly, it actually sends the link to utilize the trackpad via notifications if I remember correctly.
It does, it wouldn't work the first time I tried it. I've tried it since and it works. So it's a great solution
When can I expect too be able to purchase in Canada? As of right now there is no shipping option?
Also there are a lot of scammers sites out there trying to get your money be aware. 😉👍
Still only 1080p... Im still waiting. they should be at least 2k, preferably ultra-wide...
I've never tried any such product. Wonder how it actually feels in terms of field of view. An earlier version was tried as sort VR glasses for sim racing, and the screen was said to be too small to be considered good.
Great review, I'm wondering about things like battery life, what resolution it gives, how it could be used by someone who needs prescription lenses. Also I think you forgot to include the link to Xreal in your description, or at least I can't find it at the time I'm commenting (since this vid is brand new, maybe you haven't yet added the link and I'm commenting too soon :)
The glasses are 1080p OLED panels and can run up to 120hz and 400nits brightness.
In terms of battery life, if you're not using the Beam for power then they take power from the connected device and you can buy a USB C splitter adaptor (called xreal hub adaptor) which allows video out and power in up to 45w which is what I use with my Steam Deck.
Im excited to where technology is heading
Ability to secretly watch porn anywhere without anyone knowing?
A bit hard to follow, maybe slow down an annunciate. Also, I didn't know what the item was prior to viewing, it was over 3 minutes in before that was explained.
So how do they compare to a VR Headset for watching 3D and VR content and gaming? I suppose the limitation would be the computing power of the phone...
They're VERY different. I don't know if they support head tracking - so most VR stuff is out. The 3d viewing? Sure - fairly large screen --- but it's a floating screen in front of you - not a full vision mode like VR. Note the comments saying the screen image is "too high" --- it's half the lens - the bottom remains clear. The sides leak light.
They work. For 3d movies? With the proper player and everything? Sure.
But they aren't immersive.
Can you use a type c bluetooth adapter that sends the signal from your cell phone to the glasses?
When you arrived at London and began recording yourself talking in front of the camera while walking . . . what microphone or audio equipment did you use to make it sound like you were inside a soundproof room?
I used a Hollyland wireless mic plugged into my Z Fold 5! Then I cleaned it up a bit in post. Microphones these days are crazy good at voice isolation though
@@techwithbenefits - Thank you. Is it the Lark Mark 2 model?
Love you videos! Discovered you not long ago and watch you through any one of my TH-cam accounts. Fantastic attention to details.
I have always had problems charging the phone while DeX is running. Are there any portable or plugged in chargers that don't leave the phones battery slowly charging.
I designed a case for yhe beam so you can keep it's active cooling working while putting it on your waistband or pocket
Can you adjust the screen position/size using just your samsung phone? I thought those are compatible so that u can use the phone instead of the beam
XReal Air 1 has a much better zipup case and is more compatible with more face shapes
downsides are they're a bit thicker and the blackout cover doesn't have light guards
I also use Dex so this was a good video to explore more use cases for that paired with my glasses
Does it can create as many monitors as we want? I mean create each one in space as we move our heads
The problem is they overheat, and don't last very long. I returned mine because of the issue with them until they fix that. I'll pass
Would like you review other XR glasses like the Viture Pro as well.
What about who uses prescription glasses? Are they compatible with these?
I wonder how I’d go without wearing my glasses 😅 I don’t know, I feel they are a bit too gimmicky unless you are on the go 24/7.
They are great to have as they don't take up much space anywhere really. It's a big screen you can keep anywhere
@@techwithbenefits no doubt I’d find every excuse to use them if I picked up a pair.
I'm legally blind in my right eye. Does this affect what side the screen is on? I wonder.
I connected the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the Samsung S23 Ultra, and then I used the desk through the beam wireless soooo cable-free.
there's a weird high frequency noise in your video :(
the beam pro + ULTRA would make it near the premium price but the media device you get is just epic a smart phone style device and motion tracking from the Air 2 ultra
this is very tempting tech over another HDR monitor that most lilkey will still suck
Thanks for this video! Happy to see there is still progress with AR! Maybe we can collab one day!
Keeping tray table clutter free on your flight is such a first world problem 😂
Is this soul only in the UK or is that Nationwide and how much is this
Links in the description! Should be worldwide
Hello, is it possible to use a Bluetooth mouse in Dex using these glasses?
What do you do with these if you have a vision prescription?
Can the lens change to your eye strength? that would be handy
Can the Game Booster option be activated when using Samsung Dex? I tried different hubs and couldn't do it.
XREAL BEAM Needed/required for phones S23 or S24....?
I have the S23 Ultra and the Beam. You do not need the beam for these glasses to work. As said in the video, the Beam just unlocks that stable positioning. just think of the glasses by themselves as a computer monitor. as long a you have a device that supports Display and power over USBC they'll work.
@@chinesecheeunit For pointing devices preferred BT mouse & BT keyboard, and most comfortable to use, correct? I have Galaxy S23 FE should work with this, and any smart glasses that's also, true?
@@lse123polis For bt keyboard and mouse, honestly it depends on what you want to do. I only watch mostly TH-cam so I don't ever use any accessory because the S23 as a trackpad is more than enough. And yes from what I read online S23 FE supports Dex. only a handful of Samsung devices support Dex. Technically most other Android phones support display over USBC but you'll really want a Dex phone for ideal use. The latest iPhones and iPads with USBC work as well but without Dex and screen off capabilities, they're very limited for on the go usage. I encourage you to take a look at the Xreal subreddit for more details
Does it good while drving with google map or applecarplay?
Awesome video as always, really excited to look in to getting glasses like those xreal, what earbuds did you use in the plane?😎
Looks very cool
And amazing tech but do these glasses work comfortably on people with migraines
Interesting stuff
I use Ready For (Motorola version of Dex) and was looking at a lapdock but maybe this would be better.
YOU DID WHAT I WAS PLANNING TO BUY, THANK YOU
How many virtual monitors can it support? For productivity scenario I mean.
One (though I could be wrong) --- but it's one floating screen. It isn't high enough resolution to support more than one, and doesn't have the field of view of a VR headset. Even if you could hack some method of getting more, you'd likely be very unhappy with the way it worked.
Im thinking of bringing a windows gaming laptop when travelling, attach 4 of these with ps5 controllers to play FIFA 24 with them 😁, that would be coolest thing ever. or even mortal combat😁. but im sure plane power plugs don't support 180 watts
you can use them without the 'beam, with the Nebula app on Android and Windows.
Is it true that you don't need a physical beam and can instead use the Nebula app to achieve a body anchor, side view, and smooth follow effect? Additionally, can I use the Nebula app to place windows in the corner of glasses?
Thanks
@@vladchernov4279I'm following
the nebula app on Android is universally disliked from the Xreal community. it's really only a floating webview. Yes the nebula app has stabilization , but functionality is hella limited. While you can use Dex without the beam you lose stabilization so that's where the beam can come in but even that has over heating issues and battery draining. It's not a perfect device but it can provide benefits like this video showed.
I feel like there is too much emphasis on packaging, maybe I'm just weird. If something can make it to me without getting damaged, it can be sold in a ugly yellow envelope for all I care. I feel like fancy packaging (Materials cost) and the thought (R&D Costs) that go into it just add on to the price for no reason that matters in the long term.
Great review. Hope to see comparison with Venture Pro XR from your perspective.
how the resolution when using dex? i know with macos, i need to blow the screen up just so i can read the text.
The resolution is fine! I was able to type the script for the video out with no issues
My only complaint.....the amount of heat the give off is a bit much.
I really enjoyed your very informative you tube video. Super helpful
this could be either dumb or genius to use on a bike. On a bike you won't have a lot of time looking away from the road so a HUD for navigation would be nice, but might also be distracting
You could use the side view and then have the transparency on so you can see. But I still probably wouldn't do it myself 😅 mainly because I would never ride a motorbike lol
Driving in traffic will never be a pain in the ass ever again 🎉 🎉 🎉
Being able to stay up-to-date on all my shows while being on the move 😌
😅
i'm still surprised that apple didn't try to make something like this instead of the overpriced headset they made that honestly, is above my paygrade and even if i could afford it, it is not portable in the least and i'm not one of those people that need the whole world to know i'm using a branded tech. i like this xreal, looks inconspicuous for the most part. the apple one or even the meta quest looks so huge that you can't bring it outside albeit i assume it's for home use mostly.
