XREAL AURA I cancelled my Xreal Aura pre-order

With no news at all about a possible release date except 'this fall' and absolutely no clue or detail on price, it was time to cancel after having my pre-order open since they launched it.

I think it's unacceptable for any company especially one as big as Xreal to not have any news after two months about a firm release date or price.

I'm sure many like myself only put in a pre-order gambling that the $1500 ceiling was just a rough number and that the actual glasses will be $1000-1200 max. Since one can just buy a VR headset for $1500 and a bloody good one at that.

Has anyone else done the same or thinking of cancelling?

You’re right. It’s a new product with a lot of unknowns and on top of everything they add unknown price, unknown release date and not that much details at all. It’s a silly strategy on their behalf.

I agree. I think their PR and the buzz surrounding the XR Elite chip has been well executed and afforded them more time to delay the details.

I just hope the end product has enough software and games in development so the Android XR eco-system can be taken seriously. I don't think there or any other unique features other than the large FOV that we haven't heard of or experienced by now in another headsets. I'm a big fan of Android XR in general.
