Xreal One Pro vs Rokid Glasses (With Display)
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Smart Glasses With Displays: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The One Pro is the best wearable screen here by field of view and resolution, and its X1 chip means the tracking does not depend on the device you plug into. Rokid Glasses is the best standalone pair, and it publishes the fullest specification in the group.
Xreal One Pro
Buy itThe widest field of view here by a distance, with spatial tracking done on board by the X1 chip.
- 57 degree field of view giving a 171-inch virtual screen, against 46 degrees on the brand's own Air 2 Pro and 30 degrees on both HUDs here.
- Sony micro-OLED at 1080p per eye, around 4 million pixels, running at 120Hz.
- The X1 chip does native 3DoF tracking in the glasses with 3ms motion-to-photon latency, so the screen stays put without help from the phone.
- Electrochromic dimming with adjustable lens transparency, TÜV Rheinland certified, and M and L sizes matched to IPD ranges of 57 to 66mm and 66 to 75mm.
- No battery, no camera and no computer, so it does nothing until it is plugged into a USB-C DisplayPort source.
- 700 nits, less than half the Rokid HUD and a fraction of the RayNeo, because it works behind tinted lenses rather than against daylight.
- 6DoF needs the separate Xreal Eye accessory, so out of the box it is a screen that follows your head rather than one anchored in the room.
Rokid Glasses (With Display)
Buy it49 grams, a standalone computer with a camera, and the most complete spec sheet in this comparison.
- 49 grams, the lightest fully specified product here, in a TR90 frame with titanium alloy hinges.
- Publishes the whole sheet: 30 degree field of view, 480 by 400 resolution, 1,500 nits, Snapdragon AR1, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, 210mAh battery, Wi-Fi 6, IPX4.
- 12MP Sony IMX681 camera at f/2.25 with a 109 degree ultra-wide view, shooting 1080p 60fps HDR.
- Real-time translation subtitles in your field of view, with up to 89 languages supported.
- The display is a single green colour, so it shows text and directions rather than images.
- 480 by 400 across 30 degrees is a low-resolution window, which is why it suits captions and navigation and not much else.
- A 210mAh battery is small, and everything here runs on it including the camera and the radios.
