Deal Details
You can currently get the XREAL Air glasses for 33% off (-$101) using code: AIR33, resulting in a total of $197.34 shipped before any applicable taxes. Previous FP deal expired at $199.

I've actually tried these on at GDC in SF last year when they were branded Nreal and found them to be pretty sweet. My friend still has one to this day and wouldn't pawn off to me because he says he still uses it with his Nintendo Switch 🤷 ♂️. If you have the money you can splurge on the newer gen, but this is definitely good enough.

I forget how they felt, so here's a YT demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FXwROHqkss

IIRC it can connect to your Android, IOS, Switch, or Windows and Macbooks device in multi-display mode, $200 is a steal! Kind of want to ask my friend to try his again before I order these.

This seems like a good deal to me. If you plan on using this with your phone, make sure it supports display over USBC. Most do these days, but some do not, particularly Google Pixel models do not.

It's true. Even my old Note 9 had it.

As long as there is samsung dex compatible, it should work.

Have them and while they are good, I can't recommend them in good conscience.

Have by had them for over a year, there's issues that the average user may not want to deal with, as well the fact that this specific model has been known to crack on the arm, thus why they came out with v2.

On the software side, they've been abysmal in updates (e.g., still no Xreal app for iPhones with USB-C), and many complaints with stability.

If you're an early adopter, might be worth picking up, since you'll have a higher threshold for these issues, but I'd not recommend them to the every day user.

There's no native app for the iPhone, unlike other manufacturers.
