Spatial computing usually means strapping a heavy headset to your face, so a pair of AR glasses that weighs almost nothing and now starts at $399 is the easier pitch. XREAL has cut its lineup for Prime Day, and the entry-level 1S at $399 is the one that makes the technology worth a first look.
The 1S is the one to watch
The 1S drops to $399 from $549, a 25% cut and the steepest in the range. It gives you a 500-inch virtual display, a 52-degree field of view, native 3DoF tracking, and the same X1 spatial computing chip as the pricier model. It plugs into an iPhone, Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Mac, or PC, so it works as a giant private screen for gaming or watching wherever you are.
The One Pro for the bigger spend
The flagship One Pro sits at $549, down from $649, a 15% saving. It steps up to Sony Micro-OLED displays, a wider 57-degree field of view, a 120Hz refresh rate, X-Prism optics, and Bose-tuned audio, with 3ms latency through the X1 chip. If you want the sharpest image XREAL makes, this is it, though the percentage off is smaller than the 1S.
Don't forget the Beam Pro
The Beam Pro is XREAL's pocket companion that turns the glasses into a standalone Android system with Google Play, cloud gaming, and streaming. It runs three configurations for Prime Day, all 20% off: 128GB at $159, 256GB at $199, and the 5G model at $239. If you want the glasses to work without tethering to a phone, this is the add-on that does it.

Takeaway
The 1S at $399 is the easy recommendation, the cheapest way into XREAL's ecosystem with the same brains as the flagship. Step up to the One Pro only if display quality is the thing you care about most, and add a Beam Pro if you want to cut the cord from your phone. As always, confirm pricing at checkout once Prime Day goes live on the 23rd.
