Where each one stands
XREAL Aura: $1,279, Android XR glasses with OLED panels in a ~95g frame and a compute puck; preorders opened ahead of a 2026-11 shipping window in our record.
Snap Specs: launched around $2,195 with Specs Intelligence and an active accessory ecosystem; enterprise trials with named big-tech partners are in the record.
Bottom line Both are early; neither should be judged on reviews that do not exist yet. Aura is the lighter, cheaper screen; Specs is the more funded platform play — and $900 of extra uncertainty.
