Adds Smooth Follow, Body Anchor (3DoF), and Sideview spatial modes to connected XREAL glasses · 4 pros & 4 cons

The XREAL Beam is XREAL's original pocketable spatial display adapter: a USB-C puck that adds three spatial display modes to connected XREAL glasses -- Smooth Follow, Body Anchor with 3DoF tracking, and Sideview -- plus a wired HDMI-to-USB-C route for lower-latency gaming. The live official page records 3.5 hours of battery, use-while-charging, and 27W fast charging to 50% in 30 minutes. It is delisted from XREAL's US store and absent from xreal.com's current lineup; the official UK shop still lists it. Best for: XREAL Air-series owners who want anchored spatial display modes without tying up a phone.

Editorial overview

By AR Compare Team ·

Compiled from AR Compare's verified catalog record and cited coverage — AR Compare has not tested this device.

The XREAL Beam was XREAL’s original pocketable spatial display adapter: a USB-C puck that gives connected XREAL glasses three spatial display modes — Smooth Follow, Body Anchor with 3DoF tracking, and Sideview — plus a wired HDMI-to-USB-C route the maker documents for lower-latency gaming and DRM-protected streaming. The live official page records 3.5 hours of battery, use-while-charging, and 27W fast charging that reaches 50% in 30 minutes. In practice it was the way to pin a stable virtual screen in space with Air-series glasses without tying up a phone.

Its catalog status is the story now: the record marks the Beam discontinued. It is delisted from XREAL’s US store and absent from xreal.com’s current product lineup (the site’s own sitemap carries only the Beam Pro), while the official UK shop still listed it in stock at the record’s last check in late September 2026 — so remaining stock exists, but no US listing and no recorded price do. The record also notes the spec sheet was always thin: no published weight, chipset, or storage.

Two record entries explain the quiet exit. XREAL’s newer One-series glasses compute 3DoF anchoring on the glasses themselves, absorbing the Beam’s core role, and dedicated hosts like the Rokid Station 2 run 5 hours to the Beam’s 3.5. For XREAL Air-series owners who want anchored viewing modes without a phone in the loop, remaining Beam stock still does that one job — everyone else has been routed past it by the product line itself.
