Xreal has launched the A01 Plus, a lightweight AR headset priced at $299 featuring 1080p micro OLED displays and 120Hz refresh rates. The device weighs just 62 grams and targets budget-conscious consumers entering the augmented reality space.
The A01 Plus delivers core AR functionality at an accessible price point. Its micro OLED panels push 1080p resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate, providing smooth visuals and crisp text rendering. The 50-degree field of view is narrower than premium competitors but sufficient for productivity and entertainment applications.
At 62 grams, the headset ranks among the lightest AR glasses available, addressing comfort concerns that plague heavier devices. This weight reduction comes with trade-offs—the A01 Plus offers fewer features than Xreal's higher-end 1S model.
The launch signals growing competition in consumer AR, with manufacturers pushing entry-level options as the technology matures. Xreal positions the A01 Plus for users seeking AR capabilities without the premium price tag of advanced headsets. The device connects to smartphones and other devices, expanding its utility beyond standalone operation.
The A01 Plus availability begins immediately through Xreal's channels.
