Xreal Air 2 and Air 2 Pro come with upgraded hardware, new features, and a plethora of customization options.
Nreal is a well-known brand for AR enthusiasts, having launched a variety of smart AR glasses in recent years, most notably, the first-gen Nreal Air AR glasses, which were received fairly well by consumers at large. Earlier this year, the company changed its name to Xreal after a trademark dispute with Epic Games. Following the name change, the company is now launching the Air 2 and Air 2 Pro in select North American, European, and Asian markets.
Xreal claims that the Air 2 can turn games, movies, TV shows and virtually any other video output into a big-screen experience, up to 330-inches. The device comes with two 0.55-inch micro-LED displays manufactured by Sony. The panels pack 4,032 pixels-per-inch, which the company claims will offer users a sharp and immersive viewing experience at 49 pixels-per-degree (PPD). The glasses have a 1920 x 1080 display resolution per eye, a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, and 500 nits of peak brightness. Xreal further says that the displays have been calibrated to meet the Gamma 2.2 standard, have response rate of 0.01 milliseconds or less, and pack a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
On the design front, the Air 2 glasses are said to be 10 percent thinner and lighter than its predecessor, making it more comfortable.
