If you've been on the fence about trying the sort of "AR glasses" that, until recently, were called "personal cinemas," then check this out. Xreal has turned up to CES 2026 with an updated version of its entry level Xreal One glasses, first launched at the end of 2024. The new model, dubbed the 1S (yes, with a numeral rather than the word) gets marginally better specs and $50 knocked from the asking price.
If you're unfamiliar, One is a wearable spatial display that connects over USB-C to any compatible device including smartphones, tablets, laptops and consoles. It has two teeny-tiny displays in the eyecups that, when worn close to the eyes, trick your brain into thinking you're looking at a big screen.

But the change Xreal is arguably most proud of is the drop in price, from $499 down to $449.
At the same time, the company is launching the Xreal Neo, an external battery-cum-DisplayPort hub for your glasses. Inside you'll find a 10,000mAh power bank to keep your glasses going for longer and, more importantly, offers better connection for your Swi
