The xbx a01+ is XREAL's 43,980 yen entry-level sub-brand AR glasses, released July 6, 2026, and the subject of an ongoing frame design contest that runs September 7 to October 13, 2026. The Maker category grand prize includes production of the winning frame design as an official accessory.
XREAL released the xbx a01+ on July 6, 2026 at 43,980 yen including tax, the first product under a new sub-brand aimed at younger buyers. It weighs about 62 grams and has a detachable front frame that users can swap to change the look; the company supplies 3D CAD data so owners can print custom frames. The display is a SeeYa Micro OLED panel at Full HD and 120Hz with a 50-degree field of view and a maximum brightness of 1,600 nits. HDR10 is supported and SDR video can be converted to pseudo-HDR. Stereo speakers, image stabilization, and USB Type-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode are included.
The price comes with cuts. The xbx a01+ does not carry the XREAL X1 processor used in higher-end models, so 2D-to-3D conversion and virtual ultra-wide display are absent. There is no built-in diopter adjustment, so glasses wearers need contact lenses or a separately sold insert lens frame. It is sold through the XREAL official website, Amazon, and authorized electronics retailers nationwide.
Two months after launch, XREAL opened a design contest for the front frame, running September 7 to October 13, 2026, sponsored by 3D printer maker Bambu Japan. Entries fall into three categories: the Idea category takes concept posts on X, the DIY category builds on free white mock frames posted to TikTok, and the Maker category asks 3D designers to model compatible frames on MakerWorld. The Maker grand prize includes production of the winning design as an official accessory, which makes the contest a commercial commitment rather than a trophy giveaway and ties the swappable-frame feature to a retail product.
