Xreal’s A01 Plus: affordable AR glasses with caveats
Xreal’s A01 Plus is a $299, 62-gram, stripped-down version of the 1S that aims to bring affordable AR to a broader audience with bright 1080p visuals at 120Hz and modular shells, but it trims features like 3DoF positioning, on-glass volume control, and adjustable opacity. It relies on prescription inserts (~$50) for crisp clarity, and its frame can feel flimsy compared to the 1S, making it a solid entry point for first-time buyers who don’t need premium features.
