The Google / Xreal Aura XR glasses are now available to preorder


The Project Aura glasses collaboration between Xreal and Google is now one step closer to being something you can buy. Reservations for the second Android XR device, now dubbed the Xreal Aura, are available for $99 starting today, with a full launch in the US, UK, Japan, Canada, and South Korea expected sometime this Fall.

The Xreal Aura follows Google’s first Android-powered XR device, the Samsung Galaxy XR headset, which launched at $1,799 in October 2025. We still don’t have a full price for the Aura — which Google has previously described as “a headset masquerading as glasses” — but Best Buy will be the first in-store retail partner when it does become available. Xreal also says that those who reserve within a two-week launch offer will receive $199 credit towards the launch purchase later this year, “saving you $100 on the final price.”

As part of this deposit scheme announcement, we know also know that the Xreal Aura weighs under 95 grams, and is powered by the new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip, Qualcomm’s latest XR platform. The chip, in combination with Google’s Android XR, aims to help the Aura glasses to meet demands for “better immersive experiences, higher performance, greater intelligence, and improved power optimization,” according to a statement from Qualcomm’s XR head, Ziad Asghar.

We might get some new details about the upcoming launch after Xreal showcases the Aura glasses at Augmented World Expo, which is running between June 15th-18th in Long Beach, California.
