XREAL Beam Pro, The AR Glasses Spatial Computing Companion, 3D Cameras, Android 14, Supports All Google Play Store apps, Multiple Spatial Experiences for Movies, TV and Gaming, FHD 1080p (8G+256G)

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 user experience initially in June 2025 was quirkly, Xreal released an update in July that added the ability to use touchpads on the screen, versus trying to use a pointer you move around by moving the device itself. Another thing they upgraded was allowing apps to run in a wider screen view (beta as of September 2025), but that allowed for easier navigation of apps through the glasses. 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.

Very strange and underwhelming experience so far. I've been in the Apple ecosystem for decades at this point and this is the first Android product I have tried. It came with 0% battery so would not turn on. That was a first for me. I figured that might be the case so I plugged it in and it eventually got enough juice to turn on. Then all the apps and the system needed updating. I must have received a unit that had been sitting in the warehouse for a long time because it was pretty much useless in the state I received it. UPDATE 2 days later: After fully charging the unit and doing all the software updates required by both Android and Nebula (XReal's OS) it works great and I am finally enjoying it. The integration of Android and Nebula isn't always as smooth or bug free as the Apple products I'm used to but it's definitely workable, while much less bulky and expensive as an Apple Vision Pro headset.

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.

Don’t really work that well. You need a lot of patience and figure out work arounds to make basic functions work. Amazon Prime looks awful when I connect to the beam but looks great when using an iPad. This product is not really ready for prime time - I would suggest just getting the glasses and use your own device. After a couple of months it still not ready for prime time. It feels like a prototype that was rushed out the house. The glasses are great but the Beam not so much. Not for anyone without a lot of technical expertise with devices. Went to watch NFL ticket on YouTubeTV and nothing. Beam or iPad showed nothing when I connect the glasses to either device. When it works it’s great but it is so frustrating to use. Wait a few generations for this product.

The phone is nothing spectacular, and the apps for the glasses are in the same range. They would freeze or restart or mal function. If you dont open the apps using their dedicated app you will not have the flexibility to “fix” in position the “screen” which limits the amount of apps that you can actually use it for.

Bad quality product. Screen was pixel damaged already for new product from the box from the very beginning.
