The XREAL 1S arrives as the world’s first AR glasses featuring automatic 2D-to-3D video conversion

# XREAL 1S

XREAL is closing out 2025 by expanding its lineup with the XREAL 1S, a new entry-level model . Positioning itself just below the premium XREAL One Pro announced back in July, this device claims a unique title: it is the first in its category to provide automatic 2D-to-3D conversion .

Weighing in at a lightweight 82 grams , the headset utilizes dual 0.68-inch Sony OLED microdisplays. These panels deliver a crisp resolution of 1920×1200 per eye and support a fluid refresh rate of up to 120Hz .

Engaging the signature 2D-to-3D mode does come with a trade-off, dropping the refresh rate to 30Hz . However, the glasses aim to maintain a stable visual experience with a 52-degree field of view, brightness peaking at 700 nits , and high color fidelity rated at ΔE < 3 .

Powering these capabilities is XREAL’s proprietary X1 spatial computing chip . The company claims this silicon keeps latency down to just 3ms—a critical factor for the 1S’s 3DoF head tracking, ensuring the virtual screen remains firmly anchored in place even as you look around .

According to XREAL product manager Takao Takayama , this new 3D conversion technology won’t remain exclusive to the 1S; it is scheduled to arrive on the existing XREAL One and One Pro models via a software update near the 1S release window .

The hardware also includes several quality-of-life refinements . The audio system is tuned by Bose , accompanied by a four-microphone array . Visually, the lenses offer variable light transmittance, automatically shifting between 0%, 35%, and 100% depending on the desired level of immersion . The 1S is available in a single colorway: Silent Blue .

XREAL Neo

Debuting alongside the headset is the XREAL Neo, a dedicated mobile battery pack designed specifically for AR workflows . Priced at 14,580 yen, it is set to hit shelves in late January .

The Neo packs a 10,000mAh capacity and features dual USB-C ports, allowing it to pass video signals to the glasses while simultaneously charging a smartphone . Notably, it also functions as a portable dock for the Nintendo Switch, including support for the upcoming Switch 2 .

For those looking to pick up the complete kit, XREAL is offering a bundle comprising the 1S and the Neo for 76,560 yen—a savings of roughly 6,000 yen compared to purchasing them individually . Early adopters will also receive the XREAL Hub as a pre-order bonus .
