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 (6G+128G)

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.

It’s good and it works .

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.

Bought this a little while after getting the XREAL Air 2 Pro glasses, and this ended up being a very handy addition. It was super easy to set up, and immediately worked with the Glasses without any extra steps. The visuals are amazing, and the ability to scroll and tap using your phone as a pointer is a clever workaround for not having eye tracking or requiring a physical mouse. I personally haven't had any issues with eye strain or shaky display while using these. And having 2 USB-C ports has been useful to allow charging while also plugging into the glasses. It's basically like a stand-alone phone too with access to the Google Play store, so I can take it along with me and use it for most internet-enabled apps. I didn't really plan on buying it for the camera features, but was pleasantly surprised at how good the photos are. The 3D feature is really cool, and really makes the photos pop in a way that just isn't possible with your standard smart phone cameras. Overall, for the last month of usage it's been a smooth experience without any issues.

Everything was fine up until yesterday making that about 28day in. I noticed the beam gets very hot, but I read it was some what normal but thus was like too hot. So now it does not turn on or charge hoping for exchange ASAP.

It’s just not worth it. Honestly, I don’t know why I bought this after being let down by the previous model. I use the Xreal Pro glasses almost daily with my iPhone for apps and casual use, so I figured the Pro version would be a big upgrade. Unfortunately, it’s just as buggy, overly complicated, and limited as before. And it’s definitely not a case of being unfamiliar with Android. I’ll probably stick with my iPhone and Xreal 2 Pro glasses, using this as a backup to save phone battery. The 3D camera is kind of cool, and maybe with more use and future updates, it’ll grow on me. But for now, I regret buying it. When it’s time to replace my glasses, I’ll likely consider other brands. Very disappointed.

Must own for your xreal glasses

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

Great device. Camera is awesome, so many features.

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.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see the point...if you have an Android phone, and especially if you own a newer model, Samsung Dex works way better than this. This device just complicates everything, and is not intuitive at all.
