XREAL:谷歌看中的AR眼镜领头羊,押注香港助其攀登
XREAL让消费者真正购买了AR眼镜并占据全球首位,却仍在烧钱——因此谷歌成为其合作伙伴,香港成为其下一个赌注。
XREAL
做的是什么生意
XREAL is a Beijing-based AR hardware maker that sells consumer glasses built on birdbath and flat-prism optics — displays cheap and bright enough to ship now, where waveguide technology is not. iResearch data cited in its prospectus ranks XREAL first in global AR-glasses sales by revenue from 2022 to 2025, and 71% of 2025 revenue came from overseas (36Kr English).
起因
Chi Xu co-founded XREAL in Beijing in 2017, and the company has raised 12 rounds since, with Sequoia Capital China, Hillhouse Capital, Alibaba, Kuaishou and Shunwei Capital among the backers (36Kr English; Road to VR). By the time it filed in Hong Kong, iResearch data cited in the prospectus ranked it No.1 in global AR-glasses sales by revenue from 2022 to 2025.
经过
XREAL's high-end One series launched in late 2024 and sold 111,400 units in 2025 at an average 3,196 yuan — nearly twice the Air series' 1,656 yuan — lifting gross margin from 18.8% in 2023 to 35.2% in 2025 (36Kr English). In May 2025 Google unveiled Project Aura, the first Android XR glasses, co-developed with XREAL; in January 2026 Google extended the multi-year partnership and named XREAL a lead hardware partner for Android XR (The Verge; 36Kr English). That same month XREAL closed a $100M Series D at a $1B valuation (Road to VR).
结果
Behind the headlines the prospectus showed strain: total unit sales stayed roughly flat across 2023–2025 (137,200; 124,900; 133,700), cash on hand fell about 70% to ¥63.63M at the end of 2025, and operating cash flow was negative all three years (36Kr English). By April 2026 XREAL had filed its prospectus for a Hong Kong listing, still losing money and facing an AI-glasses boom — Omdia counted 8.7M shipments in 2025, up 322%, with Meta at 85.2% — that it has chosen not to chase (36Kr English).
背景
XREAL押注即使在硬件真正便宜之前,消费者就会购买AR眼镜:创始人徐驰选择了鸟盆和平面棱镜光学,成本远低于波导却能提供宽视场,并开始向消费者大规模销售(Road to VR)。
这一赌注持续多年——香港招股书引用的iResearch数据显示XREAL在2022-2025年全球AR眼镜收入位列第一,谷歌选择它共同开发首款Android XR眼镜Project Aura(The Verge;36氪英文版)。
然而招股书揭示了困境:总销量持平在每年约13万部,在经营现金流连续三年为负后,现金降至2025年末的6363万元人民币,税前亏损仅随着XREAL削减支出(包括研发)而收窄(36氪英文版)。
XREAL的回应是2026年1月完成1亿美元D轮融资(估值10亿美元),并在2026年4月提交香港上市申请——押注谷歌的平台支持和公开资本能在AI眼镜浪潮(2025年出货870万部,Meta占85.2%)席卷其类别之前助其攀升(Road to VR;36氪英文版)。
这件事要成立,得有什么
- 廉价光学让XREAL比波导显示器能达主流价格提前数年向消费者交付AR眼镜,凭借先发销售优势占据第一位置。
- 谷歌需要一个已被证明可以让AR眼镜被购买的硬件合作伙伴,这使得利基领导者成为平台之选。
- 三年经营现金流为负使其没有耐心等待空间,从而迫使其推进香港上市并加剧紧迫感。
- 当市场追逐AI眼镜时,固守AR领域使得其领先地位狭窄:单位销量停留在每年约13万部,即使邻近类别爆炸式增长。
可借鉴之处
利基市场第一不等于增长:XREAL在AR眼镜领域领先,却年销量约13万部并持续烧钱——谷歌合作和香港IPO只是延长了跑道,并不能决定发展速度。
后续进展
截至2026年4月9日,XREAL已提交香港上市申请,披露2025年营收5.16亿元人民币(增长30.8%),毛利率35.2%,全球AR眼镜收入份额27%——但现金仅为6363万元人民币,且连续第三年经营现金流为负(36氪英文版)。谷歌已延长多年合作,并将XREAL列为Android XR的首席硬件合作伙伴,Project Aura预计于2026年推出;36氪报道称,知情人士表示谷歌计划在当年完成对XREAL的投资(The Verge;36氪英文版)。
