What to know

Xreal's Aura glasses are powered by a pocket-sized box, called a puck, that holds the main chip, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a touch pad you can use as a control. Xreal showed Aura on May 20, 2026.

Tom's Guide reported a 4,455mAh battery in the puck that day. mAh is a measure of battery size. Xreal's own spec sheet lists the same battery and a Snapdragon Reality Elite chip.

Moving the heavy parts into your pocket keeps the glasses themselves light.
