On October 7, 2026, XREAL announced US prices for AURA: its shop lists the 12GB RAM/256GB storage configuration at $1,279 and the 16GB/512GB configuration at $1,499. That is a $220 difference between the two listings. XREAL’s US shop calculates shipping and applicable sales tax at checkout.

XREAL AURA’s US prices and configurations

Base12GB256GB$1,279
Higher16GB512GB$1,499

The higher configuration costs $220 more and comes with 4GB more RAM and 256GB more storage. Those are the listed differences between the options; each price is tied to its specific configuration. XREAL lists the higher-capacity version separately from the base model.

XREAL also describes AURA passes as credits toward a purchase, not the full glasses price. Its listed terms tie the $299 pass to shipment on launch day, while $99 and $199 passes are tied to the second fulfillment wave. Shipment timing is not a delivery date. The shop says shipping charges are calculated at checkout, and applicable sales tax is calculated based on the shipping address.

Shipping and the initial market plan

XREAL expects the initial shipping wave before the holidays in the US, Canada, Japan, and South Korea. The company says timing depends on production, quality inspections, and logistics.

In a separate 2026 market update, XREAL said Europe and Australia would not be part of the initial launch wave. The update did not give a later regional launch date.

How the glasses and companion puck work together

XREAL describes AURA as spatial-computing glasses powered by Android XR and connected by cable to a companion puck. The puck handles processing and connectivity and contains a battery and touchpad. XREAL’s product listing also lists two fit sizes: M for a 60–66 mm interpupillary distance (IPD), the distance between the pupils, and L for 66–72 mm.

The listed box contents are the glasses, puck, carrying case, USB-C cable, multiple nose pads, and a prescription lens frame.
