I own both xreal air 2 and original beam. Still I'm not yet happy with both devices, especially with the beam and state of development for Nebula for windows, Android.... Seems like lots of advertisement for the new products from xreal while having RAW software on old devices, especially the original beam.... Xreal Guys - you have the potential - start investing in more in software and or opening up for the masses, so people can actually use your devices....
its a ewaste company. they want to release new products every couple months and after they release a product they will never work on it! because they don't care.. on to the next one! ayaneo style
Nice review. I have one on order and I'm looking forward to it. The one thing I don't understand is why they didn't also make this a cell phone? That would have completly knocked this out of the park. Because now people need to carry two devices. Technically speaking, I don't think there are any reasons why they couldn't, other than maybe they don't want to be in the cell phone business.
Hello, thank you for your comment. We developed XREAL Beam Pro as way to "free your phone", as it is a made-for-AR device that pairs seamlessly with your XREAL Air series glasses. We took into consideration how users may be comfortable using their regular smartphone as a communication device, however we wanted to reserve XREAL Beam Pro for accessible spatial computing and AR entertainment.
Great review. I've been enjoying mine quite a bit. Just wish they would have sent me their new Glasses with the external cameras for hand gesture recognition.
Excellent review as always! For my use case I'm using a z-fold 4 and an older model of x real glasses. Utilizing a compatible Samsung phone is key for me because I mostly go straight into DEX while using the glasses. With this combination I can accomplish just about everything the x beam pro gives you with the exception of placing the screen and of course true 3D photos. I love the products that ex real puts out, have tried just about all the competition and keep coming back to these due to how well they work. Looking forward to upgrade my glasses to the x-real ultra probably. Just not sure if it's worth getting the beam pro, not sure how much more functionality I would get from it.
PLEASE make an updated collaboration video with Juan Bagnell comparing all of the latest AR/MR glasses and their companion devices to each other (Xreal Air 2 Pro, Xreal Ultra, Viture, TCL RayNeo, Rokid, etc). Us consumers want to know the Pros and Cons of each glasses along with the specs, display quality/resolution, FOV, standard connectors vs proprietary, cross-device compatibility such as Xreal Beam Pro paired with Viture/Rokid glasses or Rokid Station paired with TCL/Viture glasses, etc.
Great video! I appreciate showing the keyboard and mouse interaction within the glasses. Do you know if the beam pro can be used like a laptop trackpad? I have a Bluetooth keyboard but not a mouse, so I'm trying to determine if I need to order a mouse. I don't want to have to pick up the beam to move the cursor between typing
Hello, thank you for your question. When paired with XREAL Air AR glasses, XREAL Beam Pro screen will turn into a controller, using the device itself as a laser pointer.
It would be sweet if you could control the mouse cursor with your head orientation. Wouldn't be hard to implement as they are already using spatial tracking for the body view. Just need to take control of the cursor to the midpoint of the screen. Mouse buttons remapped to keyboard keys. No more monitors, no more mouses.
I'm having issues with my glasses while wearing then and watching content the video blacks out for a second then comes back on XReal 2 pro, while connected to the beam pro
Thanks for the great review. What about overheating and fan noise. This has been the biggest issue for me with my Beam. Is this an issue with Beam Pro as well? Does it overheat, does it have a fan?
Can you still beam/cast stuff to the beam pro like the original beam or you have to download content to the beam pro manually? i.e. i want to cast my laptop to the Beam pro so that i can work with multi-display setup on the glasses but not to be tethered down by the laptop, cuz i can still be able to walk around with just the glasses and the beam pro
One thing people aren't talking about much yet is about the beam VS beam pro in terms of view modes. The original beam could switch modes with the physical button, but as of yet I haven't heard anyone say anything about that functionality on the beam pro. Is it still possible to make the screen bigger and resize/position it? Also when is the xreal ultra coming? It seems like it was supposed to be out several times by now.
Hello, thank you for your questions. You are able to change between Smooth Follow and Body Anchor, and adjust the screen using XREAL Beam Pro. XREAL Air 2 Ultra began shipment on July 1st, customers have begun receiving their devices.
If you still insist on having wireless AR experience, best stick with the standard Beam. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Beam Pro doesn't have wireless support.
I've had one preordered since day one, with the early adopters discount, from purchasing the original Beam. I realize it doesn't have a fingerprint sensor, but does it have face unlock?
I tried looking for movies to be able to watch but it seems to only support natively reported 3D movies at this time or you have to convert it to a compatible format.
@@XREAL_Global Great! Right after I asked the question I noticed a new bundle for the Beam Pro and Ultra and put in my order. I noticed the bundle price did not offer a discount at all.
Personally, I own xreal glasses, I would rather use my mac's 1600p display than using xreal for the cropped 800p multi windows experience. There are lots of issues with xreal devices that no one is covering. I wish I had spent for meta quest instead,
@PSYCHOV3N0M I too was very supportive of xreal until I bought one spending more money than a quest 3, only to realize it's shortcomings. Their nebula app doesn't support all devices, most devices only supports screen mirroring. There is not a single app that has 3D media streaming, while meta has many dedicated apps.
@PSYCHOV3N0M I think reddit has more honest feedbacks on xreal. UA-cam is filled with misleading sponsored contents. If possible try one for yourself to find out the shortcomings
Hello. Thank you for your comment. Our AR glasses are HD, and 1080p with Sony MicroOLED. If you are experiencing technical issues, we would be more than happy to assist you.
@XREAL_Global yes true, but when using in multi monitor mode, we both know what resolution each monitor is running at. One suggestion, include a way to switch audio in the default video player within nebula. I don't see 3d media streaming coming to xreal anytime soon and there aren't many apps or sites that provide access to full sbs 3d videos.
Hello! Thanks for your questions! When you use the devices, the screen will be positioned 4 meters away, and you can adjust its size between 91 and 222 inches. And we have implemented system-level optimizations on Beam Pro, allowing it to run while the screen is locked. In this state, the screen will remain black and locked to prevent accidental touches.
@XREAL_Global Thank you so much So basically is like samsung dex Except on xreal beam pro can resize screen on Netflix It's so amazing Bravo Thank you You are the best 👌 👍
The beam pro i received works but I was led to believe it was an upgrade from the beam IT IS NOT! It does not have the ability to connect to my devices like my beam does I can game on my beam I cannot game on the beam pro without excessive lag from miracast streaming to it. it was not worth the money I paid for it.
Hello, thank you for your question! We have implemented system-level optimizations on Beam Pro, allowing it to run while the screen is locked. In this state, the screen will remain black and locked to prevent accidental touches.
They did make a standalone app called Nebula, but it's really bad and limited due to the inability to run other apps in the spatial environment. Due to the restrictions that smartphone makers place on their versions of android, it's not really possible to make an app that does everything that the Beam Pro does without full control over the operating system.
Yes it is available on the Google Play store but it doesn't run as well that's on their native device I hope that they're able to make it more compatible in the future but it also relies on makers on the phones as well
Hello. Thank you for your comment. We created Beam Pro to be the ultimate spatial computing companion for XREAL glasses. That meant addressing customers pain points, like device fragmentation across the smartphone industry. Even with the Nebula app, our glasses can't connect to every model smartphone. Furthermore, there are still many devices that do not currently or cannot support DP output via USB-C. We opted to create a device where we could help remove some of the friction caused by the smartphone industry's device fragmentation. Similarly, this fragmentation also includes the protocol diffrences between not only brands, but devices themselves. We will continue to support Nebula and ensure our glasses work great on other devices. We will not take that away.
@@XREAL_Globalthank you for the response, I really like the concept but carrying two mobiles is a bit of a problem, I'm sure if you can bring all this capability to mobile app lot of people will buy, at least for all the high end mobiles of big brands.

Very interesting tk I never thought that it could be so easy to get work or play done , it's definitely worth a try . Thanks for sharing tk 👍

I have a fold 5 (with Dex). I also own a 1st gen Beam. After watching your (great) video, it seems an upgrade for me is probably not worthwhile…?
If you still insist on having wireless AR experience, best stick with the standard Beam. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Beam Pro doesn't have wireless support.
What is that keyboard? Must know
Does the x real beam pro work with tcl ray neo air 2 pro? Anyone have any idea?
Just a question. When you look on the glasses do you see a white line of the glasses where the view is projected.
I've had one preordered since day one, with the early adopters discount, from purchasing the original Beam. I realize it doesn't have a fingerprint sensor, but does it have face unlock?
Hello, thank you for your question. XREAL Beam Pro does not support face unlock.
Hi, can you watch 3D movies on the BEAM and glasses?..
I tried looking for movies to be able to watch but it seems to only support natively reported 3D movies at this time or you have to convert it to a compatible format.
How about mobile android games... Throu beam or phone

Are these at all compatible with Windows programs? I think I heard yes but I am curious how these work with a Windows computer.
