In this video, I review the XREAL 1S and the Neo accessory, and I break down what is new, what matters, and where the real value is, especially if you have been looking at competing glasses like the RayNeo Air 3S and 3S Pro, or you are curious how this compares to the bigger XR swing of Project Aura.
What you’ll see in this review
• Why 1S lands in the sweet spot between RayNeo style simplicity and Aura style ambition
• Comfort and fit notes, including the lightweight feel and flexible ear hooks
• Display upgrades and what they mean in real use, including higher resolution, brightness, color, and a wider field of view
• Follow Mode vs Anchor Mode, plus how the X1 chip changes the whole experience
• Electrochromic auto-dimming that adapts as you look up and down
• Real-time 2D to 3D conversion, where it shines, and where it still gets weird
• Audio and heat notes from real sessions
• The Neo puck breakdown, including battery, charging, video hub features, and magnetic mounting
• Price, value, and who I think should buy it
