I wrote a larger review for the Xreal One glasses paried with he Beam Pro. I'll just say this, it's a basic Android device. The battery life is decent with the glasses connected. I'd say about 2.5 hour of run time operating as a standalone pair. While the OS while using the glasses is decent, you just need to learn the few quirks of the UI, and how to get the pointer back as you change position. It runs apps well, and for my use case, I have WIFI at all times, so for streaming it has worked pretty much flawlessly. I like using this over my iPhone for a couple of reasons. I feel it gives you more control over the video placement in the glasses. It also doesn't kill my phone on my long walks, requiring more charge cycles on my phone. I'd rather replace this device versus that of my phone, and so far it has solved the issues I expereinced when I bought the Xreal One glasses. As a combo, they are great to keep me distracted while walking, which means I get more exercise in an easier manner. That's a good thing for me. Once you figure it out, I have a quick routine to load a video or two, lock the Xreal app to prevent button inputs, and then press the lower side button on the Beam Pro to turn the display off. I can then drop it into my pocket and don't need to mess with it. I didn't buy it for 3D video or some of the other options it offers, so I can't speak to those items. But for my use case, it has performed well, I felt the value was good, and it has worked without any issues.

I have been using the Air 2 Pro glasses for a little under a month now. They’ve been really good for flights and other commutes when I want a bigger screen. I’ve also used them with my work laptop as a second display when remotely working.After some more time with them, I realized that just using my phone with them had a few limitations. I couldn’t run my own streaming apps without the phone screen continuously turned on. The glasses also took up my phone’s only USB port. This meant that the glasses really ate at my phone’s battery, even in flight mode.So when I heard about the Beam Pro, I decided to make the purchase. They’re more closely integrated with the glasses, and you can use any app with the NebulaOS, which is more like a launcher specifically made for the glasses. They basically fixed my only complaint with the Air 2 Pro (which is really a complaint with my phone, not the actual glasses).There doesn’t seem to be any latency associated with the glasses, which is great. I’ve done a few things with them so far, namely PS5 remote play, local gaming (emulation), and video streaming (Plex and Max). The picture quality using NebulaOS is about the same as using my phone, which is to say, very vivid and visible. I connected a PS5 controller for remote play and gaming, and the Beam Pro handled it all very well.There’s a button to toggle between smooth follow (screen follows your eyes), and fixed position (screen floating in space). Smooth follow has some added stabilization, which makes using the glasses way more comfortable than just plugging in your phone, which if you move around too much, might get dizzy. This has been a BLESSING honestly.I also tried using the Beam Pro with my laptop, setting up virtual monitors via Parsec and SpaceDesk. The Beam Pro can run multiple windows, so I was able to set up two floating monitors within the glasses. I turned on fixed position and enlarged the Beam Pro windows, so the elements were way easier to see than just plugging the glasses in.The product runs Android, so it’s really versatile. It’s a new product and the team seems to be pretty responsive on Reddit, so I’m looking forward to some other creative use cases.

I don't own a pair of XREAl glasses, so I can't speak to that. I have a Quest 3 and I wanted to take spacial videos and photos. There are too few consumer options and I was pretty set on one until I saw samples of the XREAL Beam Pro on YouTube. Given the pros/cons with the other camera (storage, battery life, lag) I appreciate the form factor of this device, lots of storage space, and battery on par with a cell phone. The quality of photos and videos I've taken are fantastic. I do wish there was a little more control over white balance, but that can be handled in a video editor and maybe that will come with an update to the camera app. Even without a black friday sale, you can't beat the quality and value of this device at this price. Highly recommend.

I purchased a pair of Xreal Air Glasses last week not knowing anything about the technology and was hoping they would help make my nighttime gaming sessions a little more comfortable. I mostly play my Legion Go in bed at night before I go to bed. I was led to believe that in order to have a bigger screen that was fixed in AR space I needed the Beam. I researched as much as I could and thought the Beam was something it was not. Apparently you can only STREAM the source to the Beam not plug in your device directly. I was really confused by this and there's not a lot of helpful information on that but after spending a whole day trying to figure out how to do it I realized the Beam is just a companion device that basically does everything your Android phone would do AND you can plug in the device and charge it while using it. This is not what I thought it was and for $200? Not worth it in my opinion. Now between the XReal AIr, the Beam and adapter ive spent almost as much as just buying the Xreal One glasses. I will be returning this and the glasses and just get the Xreal One glasses.

There seems to be some charging issue, where suggestions such as holding a button down, using non PD charger abound.It's a modern Android device, it should simply charge like any other device.The only thing it really did unique is take closeup 3d pictures. I've always liked 3d for impact.I can buy a cheaper camera for this functionYMMV for the value add, but the charging issues made it a return for me.

As a professional 3D photographer/videographer, this is one of the best options in the compact/budget 3D camera category, both for stills & for video.
