Tech enthusiasts and AR early adopters, take note. Xreal, a prominent name in the augmented reality wearable space, has just expanded its lineup in Japan with not one, but two interesting releases. While the Xreal 1S glasses are grabbing headlines, it’s their new accessory—the Xreal Neo—that might just be the unsung hero for power-hungry mobile setups.
Positioned as the perfect sidekick for AR glasses, the Xreal Neo isn't just another power bank. It's a purpose-built device designed to solve a very specific problem: keeping your glasses and your connected device powered up for extended, untethered experiences.
Power to Keep You Immersed
At its heart, the Neo boasts a robust 10,000mAh internal battery. While capacity is king, how you refill it matters just as much. Xreal has included support for 40W fast charging. Now, that might not break any speed records compared to some ultra-high-wattage power banks on the market, but it strikes a smart balance. This output is perfectly adequate to simultaneously power a device like a Steam Deck or ASUS ROG Ally while feeding your connected Xreal AR glasses, ensuring your gaming or productivity session isn’t cut short.
For those who want to get the Neo charged up quickly, it supports input charging at up to 60W. Xreal even suggests using a charger like the 100W Ugreen Nexode (currently $39.99 on Amazon) to top it off at maximum speed while it's in use.
Designed for Connection, Built for Comfort
The Neo’s design reveals its specialized nature. It features a dedicated USB-C port specifically for your AR glasses, alongside a built-in cable that plugs directly into your host device—be it a smartphone, laptop, or handheld console. This streamlined approach reduces cable clutter significantly. A second USB-C port allows for pass-through charging, meaning you can charge the Neo itself while your entire setup remains active.
Perhaps one of its most user-friendly features is the integrated magnetic array and kickstand. This allows you to easily attach the Neo to a metal surface or simply use the kickstand to prop up your entire AR viewing rig. This is a game-changer for finding a comfortable viewing angle on airplanes, trains, or even your desk at home. It’s worth noting, however, that despite the handy magnets, the Neo does not support wireless charging—its focus is squarely on wired power delivery.
Availability and Expectations
Xreal emphasizes a lightweight and compact form factor alongside multiple protection features for safe operation, making it a practical addition to any tech bag.
Interested users in Japan can get their hands on the Xreal Neo right now via the official Xreal store for a launch price of JPY 14,580 (approximately $94). While there is no official confirmation on a broader release yet, industry watchers fully expect the Neo to launch internationally alongside the global rollout of the Xreal 1S glasses.
For AR users who have longed for a less cumbersome, all-in-one power solution, the Xreal Neo appears to be a thoughtfully designed answer. It’s more than just a battery; it’s a dedicated tool meant to enhance and simplify the augmented reality experience.
