XREAL 1S

Name: XREAL 1S
Brand: XREAL
Price: 449 USD

XREAL 1S is a pair of display glasses (a wearable screen) from XREAL. It starts at $449 in the United States (xreal.com US store). XREAL sells or supports it in 27 countries. XREAL 1S went on sale in January 2026.

The XREAL 1S is a pair of wired display glasses: plug it into a device that sends video out of its USB-C port and a large virtual screen appears in front of you. It has no battery, so the phone, laptop or handheld powers it through the same cable. It replaced the XREAL One as the main model in XREAL's lineup, moving to 1920x1200 per eye, a 52-degree field of view and up to 700 nits. The X1 chip inside handles screen anchoring, automatic dimming and 2D-to-3D conversion on the glasses, so nothing needs installing on the source. The deciding question is that source: if its USB-C port carries DisplayPort video, the 1S works directly. If it doesn't, you need an adapter or a different device.

Good fit

People with a USB-C iPhone 15 or later, a Galaxy S phone, a Steam Deck, a ROG Ally or a laptop with USB-C video who want a private big screen for films, games or a second monitor on the move.

Look elsewhere if

Skip it if you want AI features, a camera or a heads-up display for walking around: it is a monitor, not an assistant. For notifications and translation on the lens, look at the Even G2.

Limitations to know before you buy

The port must carry DisplayPort and supply 5V/1A. A USB-C socket alone is not enough; plenty of phones charge over USB-C but send no video. XREAL's user guide also excludes the iPhone 16e.
Lightning iPhones can't connect. iPhone 14 and earlier are out, per XREAL's compatibility notes.
Consoles need extra hardware. Switch, Switch 2 and Switch OLED need the XREAL Hub plus power, or an HDMI-to-USB-C adapter. PlayStation, Xbox and HDMI-only PCs need an HDMI-to-USB-C adapter that also powers the glasses.
Google Pixel is missing from XREAL's list. Android Authority reported in March 2026 that Pixel 8 and newer output video over USB-C, but XREAL itself has not named Pixel.
No camera in the box. 6DoF anchoring and photos need the separate XREAL Eye. The store lists 1S as compatible, while the Eye spec page names only the One and One Pro series.

Questions people ask

Does the XREAL 1S work with a Steam Deck or ROG Ally?

Can I use the XREAL 1S as a laptop monitor?

Yes, with a Windows laptop whose USB-C port carries video, a MacBook Pro or select Mac mini models. A laptop with only HDMI needs an HDMI-to-USB-C adapter that also powers the glasses.

No. XREAL Link is optional and shows device information. Firmware updates run from xreal.com/ota on a computer, or automatically through Beam Pro.
