Your phone won’t be powering Xreal’s upcoming Android XR glasses

Wait 5 sec.

Xreal’s Android XR glasses will come with a puck-like processing device.The puck will feature an unspecified Qualcomm Snapdragon chip.The glasses will have the largest screen the company has ever made.There’s been plenty of talk about Google, Apple, and Meta all working on AR glasses, but they aren’t the only players in the game. Xreal is currently working on its own pair of AR glasses, known as Project Aura. Other than the fact that they’ll run on Android XR, not much is known about the device yet. However, Xreal shared a few new details this week.The Xreal team made an appearance at Augmented World Expo 2025 on Tuesday. As reported by Gizmodo, the company didn’t release any new images or offer any demos, but it did reveal that your phone won’t be able to handle the kind of processing Aura demands. Instead of using a phone as a computing device, Aura will use a separate, tethered, puck-like device for its computational needs.
