The XREAL 1S is the latest addition to the XREAL One Series, announced at CES 2026. It upgrades the display to 1200p Sony Micro-OLED panels with 700-nit brightness and a wider 52-degree field of view, projecting a massive 500-inch virtual screen. Powered by the same X1 Spatial Computing Chip with native 3DoF tracking, it features built-in 2D-to-3D conversion, Sound by Bose audio, and 3-level electrochromic dimming -- all at a lower $449 price point than the XREAL One.
