Viture and Xreal continue to battle it out for the title of the best flagship XR glasses, and the differences between flagship models are down to fairly minor features. With the new Viture Beast glasses, we see onboard controls, an extensive FOV, increased brightness, and nine levels of electrochromic dimming.

Viture’s best yet
I’ve been testing the Viture Beast for the past several days, and it looks like a promising pair of glasses with a few updates coming soon to make it Viture’s best. The display is very bright and clear, audio sounds great through the glasses, and the on-screen menu system makes the glasses better without requiring use of the SpaceWalker app.
Compared to the Viture Luma Pro I tried in July 2025, the Beast comes in at $50 more, with up to a 174-inch screen, 58-degree FoV (versus 52 degrees on the Luma Pro), increased brightness to 1,250 nits, aluminum material around the lenses, dynamic tint control, a microphone, and integrated screen customization controls right on the glasses themselves.
The connection also moves to USB-C instead of a magnetic connector. The one significant difference in the hardware is that the Beast no longer has the myopia diopter dials and relies on prescription inserts, as needed.

Positioning modes
Three positioning modes are available: spatial anchor, smooth follow, and 0DoF.
The default is 0DoF, where your content stays centered to your view. Smooth follow is probably my least used mode, where the screen follows head movement slowly in order to minimize sudden motions. Spatial anchor locks the screen in space so you can look around the virtual space to see what is going on in the surrounding area.
The Viture Beast also works well with the Viture Pro Mobile Dock, Pro Neckband (Android-only mode at this time), and the 8BitDo Mobile Gaming Controller. Gaming is superb with ultra-low latency and fluid 3DoF motion tracking.

The 120Hz refresh rate and bright Sony micro-OLED display help make for a visually stunning experience. Sound is also very good with the Harman AudioEFX technology, so you don’t even need to use headphones or earbuds with the Viture Beast glasses.
ZDNET’s buying advice
The Viture Beast XR glasses are the best glasses currently available from Viture, and the ability to travel with multiple virtual displays easily justifies the $549 price point.
Adding the ability to fully enjoy mobile gaming and big-screen media are added bonuses that make having a set of XR glasses one of the first accessories you should buy to go with your smartphone, mobile gaming platform, or laptop. I don’t commute or travel without a pair and appreciate Viture’s continued efforts to push the technology forward.
