XREAL Beam Pro is a new phone-like accessory for XREAL AR glasses.

Additionally, users don’t want to have to worry about the glasses draining their phone battery to function.

Beam Pro starts at $199 and comes in either a Wi-Fi-only model or a more expensive 5G model.

According to XREAL, it offers 27W fast charging to help keep the Beam Pro ready to go.

They capture in 1080p at 60fps, which is very impressive.

The Beam Pro also doubles as a controller.

Simply wave it about to use it like a pointer that you’ll see behind your AR glasses.

Which XREAL glasses are compatible with Beam Pro?

The rest of these compatible XREAL glasses have 3DoF experiences.

XREAL has made it so that there is a reticle at the center of the glasses virtual screen.

Of course, the low price of the Beam Pro is also attractive.

Who knows, this low cost might just launch a Beam Pro mobile phone user base.

I just wish I knew for certain how long the Beam Pro battery lasts.

If it can run for up to six hours on average, I’ll be especially happy.

Afterall, I assume spatial computing takes more power than your typical phone usage.

We’ll be reviewing the Beam Pro at some point so check back here at Windows Central for that.

They’re very comfortable and are a far more affordable alternative to Apple Vision Pro.
