My flight home from New York this week got delayed several hours, but I passed the time by playing 007 First Light on a giant home theater in the airplane. No, I don't have my own private plane, but Xreal 1S certainly helps make it feel that way, and now you can get your very own portable, wearable home theater for $50 off with this fantastic Prime Day deal.
Xreal 1S is a pair of smart display glasses, also known as a wearable TV or home theater, that packs dual micro-OLED panels into a svelte pair of glasses. Plug the USB-C cable into any compatible device — be it a laptop, Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or even your phone — and you'll be greeted with a massive floating display in front of your face.
Xreal set itself apart from the pack when it launched the Xreal One series last year, and this year's Xreal 1S upgrades things with even better displays and the amazing X1 chip inside that provides full 3DoF spatial tracking for the virtual display. In short, that means the display can smoothly follow your head movements to iron out airplane turbulence, or be "pinned" to a wall in your home to create the ultimate virtual home theater experience.
✅Recommended if: You're tired of boring phones and want something new and interesting, want a phone with a solid camera and lots of great updates, or you just don't want to spend a ton of money on a new phone.
❌Skip this deal if: You want glasses with a wider FoV, or if the reflections from the underside of Birdbath lenses annoy you. They also aren't compatible with a Nintendo Switch or Switch 2.
Xreal 1S is a full replacement for Xreal One, as it ships with brighter, higher-resolution micro-OLED panels and brings down the weight by 2g in the process. Plus, it's got a great blue color that looks snazzy as heck.
Just keep in mind that it isn't compatible with the Nintendo Switch or Switch 2. If you were planning on using them with any of Nintendo's handhelds, you'll need to pick up a pair of Viture smart glasses and the Viture Pro Mobile Dock, instead.
✅Recommended if: You want a top-tier wearable home theater experience, the best prism lenses on the market, or want smart glasses that support 6DoF tracking (with the optional Xreal Eye accessory).
❌Skip this deal if: You want to use these on a Nintendo Switch or Switch 2. They're just not compatible.
Xreal also has an upgraded pair called Xreal One Pro, which further increases display quality with prism lenses. These lenses are a completely different design from the Birdbath style used on other smart glasses (including Xreal One and 1S), and offer an even clearer picture with a 5-degree wider FoV. That means you can see more of that virtual screen on Xreal One Pro than with other glasses.
Prism lenses also avoid the reflective nature of Birdbath lenses, so you won't see a slight reflection of your lap (or light colored clothing) on the display. That alone might be a big enough upgrade for some folks, and things get even cooler when you pair an Xreal Eye camera or Xreal Beam Pro with either of these glasses.
