So if this is the best Android device for glasses why 4 and not 5 stars? Primarily its because of the nebulaOS. While I love the Beam Pro as a great Android device, as a XREAL designed device its lacking. Because they decided to base their OS for their glasses on Unity, you need to use a beefy CPU even to just stream while in their OS. You also MUST use the 8gig version as the video buffer is copied quite a few times between the Android OS, Unity and then to the texture on your AR screen. That said its not completely XREAL's fault here. Google has been really late to the game developing ARCore (Their own API) as just an API standard. What's worst is that they even haven't designed a front face for the Android device that works as well as say the Beam, aka, put The YouTube app in the upper corner of your eyes or have a super large Virtual Screen with multipole apps running. Its hard for a small company to completely rewrite the screen interface in Android since it also means they have to release the source code too. As for the device itself its honestly everything I want in an Android device. Both USB-C ports act as power delivery and this is the only USB-C based display port I have had NO issues using on anything (to HDMI or DP). The cameras are very good and the LCD is crisp. Its also very light weight. My only real complaint is power usage. If you use the Beam, as a portable Chromecast, it can last upwards of 3 hours. This device, at best, last 2. Mind you this is with the glasses in full use as well as the screen for touch pad. However if you do not use the glasses constantly, this thing lasts forever on its battery, almost 5 hours of heavy usage. All in all, This is a great device if you need something powerful for android with a good camera and lots of features and is now definitely my backup home device. In fact I would of switched to it as my primary phone if it had a phone chip in it. Who knows, maybe Google will get off its sorry ass and make a better display driver people can program in:P PS - While I harp on XREAL a bit, they ARE the best AR company by far. Even if its Unity, the fact they HAVE a decent API and software is a huge win. I have AR glasses from Epson to throwaway Kickstarter brands and they have, by far, nailed what average people want for AR..well currently atleast.

works as described but very expensive if you live in canada.

Don’t really work that well. You need a lot of patience and figure out work arounds to make basic functions work. Amazon Prime looks awful when I connect to the beam but looks great when using an iPad. This product is not really ready for prime time - I would suggest just getting the glasses and use your own device. After a couple of months it still not ready for prime time. It feels like a prototype that was rushed out the house. The glasses are great but the Beam not so much. Not for anyone without a lot of technical expertise with devices. Went to watch NFL ticket on YouTubeTV and nothing. Beam or iPad showed nothing when I connect the glasses to either device. When it works it’s great but it is so frustrating to use. Wait a few generations for this product.

UPDATE: After posting this review, XREAL has reached out to me and wants to work with me on resolving some of these issues. I appreciate their proactive support. I will work with them and update this review once we come to a conclusion. I received the XREAL Air 2 Pro glasses a few days ago and the XREAL Beam Pro yesterday. Since this is a review of the Beam Pro specifically, I'll try to keep it focused on this device. Summary: This device has some cool features that you don't get on other devices (mainly the dual cameras and the app to view them in 3D), but the device's core functionality is severely lacking. I'll be returning the Beam Pro. Hardware: I didn't look at any of the specs of the hardware, so this is all just based on my experience using the device. - Overall build quality is good. - The dual USB-C ports on the bottom are very convenient for using the glasses and charging at the same time. - The dedicated button to switch between follow and anchor modes is very useful. - The lack of a fingerprint reader is disappointing and annoying. It's basically a mid range android phone with some extra hardware for the glasses. Software: The software is the main issue at the moment. First, the functionality related to the AR experience is very buggy. I get frequent (multiple times per session) crashes and often have to unplug the glasses and re-plug them in to get things working. This is while using the default apps, too. Second, the customizability of the AR experiences is lacking in options, which leaves me making sacrifices in the way I use the glasses. - Frequent crashes. The AR environment presented to you in the glasses, powered by the Beam Pro, frequently crashes. When this happens, the best case scenario is I reopen the app, the worst case is I have to reboot the whole device. Sometimes, that doesn’t even fix it. Luckily, I have many devices to test with (S21, Pixel, MacBook, Beam Pro). Otherwise, I might be stuck and unable to use the glasses. - Lack of customizability. One use case I was looking forward to experiencing with this setup was having windows open to the side of my view while focusing on something in front of me through the glasses. Imagine sitting in front of your computer typing something while having a YouTube video playing in AR. It's somewhat possible to do this in anchor mode, but my use case is specifically for when I'm on a train or bus. As soon as the vehicle makes a turn, your window slides out of your view. So naturally, I put the device in follow mode. However, in follow mode, as far as I can tell, you can't move windows off to the side. They take up the whole center view, and you can't change that. I realize the above use case could be considered niche, but for me it's common. I could continue nitpicking the software, but the truth is that it just seems unfinished. I actually have a much better experience using my Samsung phone because of Dex (Samsung’s desktop environment). I have found myself trying to use the Beam Pro, then just giving up and switching back to the Samsung. I don’t even use the XREAL app on my Samsung device because it’s also very buggy. Overall, this seems to be a case of OK hardware with unfinished software, which makes it not worth the price. I’ll be returning the Beam Pro, but keeping the glasses.
