Xreal Beam - What No One's Telling You

when I found out I actually released this I thought it was going to be a slam dunk for them they're going to be Leafs and bound ahead of every other company that does virtual glasses but I was wrong because this is good but it's not great if you have extra hair glasses or you have real kid glasses chances are you've heard about this and you've seen a lot of videos well my well my video is going to be different is a lot of videos if you watched that you've watched are reviewers of you know people that were sent the product to review a lot of sponsored videos so they're not going to tell you the things that I'm about to tell you in this video there's a lot of reasons why you might not want to buy these things that I'm going to say that if you actually knew about it might make you want to cancel your order or not get it at all until it's you know finally ready and for those of us who have it like me I'm going to tell you reasons why I'm going to be keeping it and why you actually might want to get this what is the beam the beam basically allows for more compatibility to other devices so there are some devices that doesn't have USB type-c or they don't have a video output or they do have video output but the compatibility is just not working well this Bridges the Gap and allows you to connect to a lot more devices here either via cable or their uh streaming in a wireless casting I want to get into why I personally got it the reason why I got it is first of all I have a Samsung fold 4 which is pretty compatible with the device but I find myself using Samsung Dex a lot uh Samsung Dex is one of the greatest things features of Samsung premium phones it basically turns anything with the screen into like a computer right so when my my glasses are connected it basically turns this this glass is the Samsung Dex is streaming to it and it feels like I'm using a computer the problem with that is that when I'm using Samsung dex's index mode on the glasses my screen is is fixed basically when I move my head the screen follows me whatever I move my head the screen follows me using that actually causes high fatigue the reason it causes high fatigue is because let's say I have a screen in front of me like this right and I want to look at something to the top of the screen I would have to roll my eyes if I want to look at something at the bottom of the screen I have to roll my eyes down can't just move my head because if I do move my head the screen follows me so for me to look at anything I will constantly have to roll my eyes which cut which causes fatigue you know anybody that uses glasses in the mirror mode pretty much knows what I'm talking about so a lot of times I don't want to use my glasses more than an hour or two it makes me sleepy like that's how bad it fatigue is this glass is I mean this beam allows me to have a display that is fixed in one place it's called body anchor so I can move my head around and the display is literally where I put it you know it doesn't matter if I'm using my phone or my computer this beam allows me to have that display and look around if I want to watch a movie if there's a lot of action going on I'm constantly move my head that screen stays in one place so I don't have that fatigue and it and for so far it works great but connecting and streaming there's just a whole bunch of things that a lot of people are not are going to be very very oblivious to well a lot of things that people don't know because no one has talked about it and I'm going to be talking about them in this video so this is going to lead me straight into uh first of all I'm gonna go into the things that I like about this product I like mainly the fact that I can have that display in one place move my head around and it stays there that's great two I like the fact that I can actually stream to this even though I don't use the stream as much because unless you're watching a video on YouTube or ESPN streaming is not as great on this because of uh DRM but I like the fact that I can have display the stock in one place that's basically the number the one reason why I got it now here are some things that I don't like there's a lot first is charging the device is actually the more of a headache than you would have thought it is I've tried about 10 different charges and only one out of that 10 worked it's a type c right you would think anything with the type C would charge it nope there's been times where I put it on the charger for 12 hours only to find out it's not charging so you would have to literally try a bunch of different charges to make sure that it charges and even when I did find a charger that charges it I have never been I have not been able to charge it to 100 percent every day that I charge it it will only charge up to about 94 even when I live it all night for like 12 15 hours it would charge up to like 94 and basically just never stop never Char never fully charges and when it's charging the fan is constantly running inside which is annoying because it gets warm I I don't know why but the fan is constantly running and it bothers me it also bothers me because when you're using the glasses either if when you're streaming or when you're wired the fan is constantly running it it just it gets hot like the fan it's not it's noticeable I'm gonna put a uh video on the screen so you guys can hear how loud the fan is can you hear the sound now if you're watching something the fan is not as distracting but to the person next to you if a person is sitting right next to you dude you know if it's not if it's an acquired place they're definitely gonna hear the fan so I don't know why the fan is constantly running it's it's annoying and I just don't I don't know why another thing I don't like about this is the so when I'm streaming for my iPhone it is a little bit older iPhone but it basically works the same way when I'm streaming wirelessly sometimes it would randomly disconnect and I'll have to restart the device but this happens more often than I would want you know so sometimes I would have to restart the device or sometimes I would if it's my phone I would have to disconnect and just a whole bunch of stuff that you have to do every now and then for connection like I have a YouTube premium right but for some people I've heard some people say that if they're using YouTube on it that whenever an ad comes on the glass is my disconnect now I don't I don't know about that because I use YouTube premium so I don't know if that's for them if it's just happening for them or if it's gonna if it's more likely to happen for everybody but that's just what I've heard um so that's connection issues right and then for us for uh an Android phone not all Android is compatible but they can be you just have to do some extra steps that no one is is talked about in this video and it's a way to go into developing uh it's you're going to go into the developer you're going to force desktop mode and I'm going to be showing you guys in this video how to force the export mode and man when you finally do it it's you're gonna see that your Android phone is a lot more capable than you realize it is and I was able to do it and I'm gonna show you how I did it and how you can connect just about any Android phone to the glasses the number one reason why I don't like this is because of streaming with Netflix Hulu and Prime when I'm using Samsung Dex I can watch Netflix I can watch anything with no problem but if I'm not using Samsung Dex if you want to stream wirelessly Hulu Netflix will not stream well they're gonna stream but you're gonna have a black screen you're gonna have you're gonna hear the audio but you can't see anything and that's because of something called DRM digital digital Rights Management digital right management prevents you from being able to watch any video wirelessly from Netflix Hulu Prime and pretty much streaming uh TV apps you can still use uh ESPN and you can still use YouTube but everything else that displays videos most likely would not work I mean you can use it for your other apps like games and stuff like that but the major ones like most people would want most people want to watch you know Netflix most people would want to watch Hulu or prime I mean these are things that I feel like should already be available now to extras credit they did say that it's coming soon the ability to stream uh you know content wirelessly is going to be coming soon but I want to say this never buy anything based on a promise from Manufacturing I bought this Samsung watch over a year ago and Samsung promised uh a body temperature still not here now they did release some kind of Bader body temperature for women to measure their their period to predict the period cycle I'm not a woman that's not that doesn't benefit me at all I want the actual body temperature now that I really need it but I want it if you promise me it's going to be there then I want it you know what I'm saying uh Samsung also promised Google Assistant it took him so long for them to finally release Google assistant so if x real is telling you they're gonna put they're gonna uh give you the ability to stream DRM content that might not be in the next one month that might be in the next six eight months Trio released this last year I bought this last year there is still no official Windows nebula app allows you to stream you know content spatial and have digital virtual monitors they have a beta that I'm actually testing but they don't have an official release for the public yet and this came out last year so if they're telling you they're going to allow DRM content it may not be soon also when you plug your glasses into this it's gonna it's you're gonna see in the screen that says you know more apps coming soon but what is soon soon is we start is soon like next couple months or soon in like six months to a year you know my point is that don't buy this right now if you don't have the ability to connect your phone wired and being able to watch things like Netflix and Hulu is important to you if you cannot connect to this wire wired either through your computer through your your game console or whatever it is if you can't connect to a wired Netflix Hulu Prime and video services like that that required DRM will not work so if that's just so reason for wanting to buy this do not buy it however if your phone your computer or things can connect to a wired then all those things will work so that's very important to know because a lot of people are buying this thinking they can stream Netflix wirelessly it's not gonna work you can stream everything else wirelessly but you cannot stream Netflix Hulu you know I'm sorry I keep seeing this over and over but I feel like this this is very important like no one is mentioning this like why it makes no sense why nobody's uh mentioning it oh one more thing that annoys me is to save battery life right I always turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi but every time you turn it back on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is enabled I just want to turn it off and let it stay off because I use a wired anyways why does it always turn back on every time I turn it on I know these are small things but trust me when you start using this you will find out how annoying they are having that wireless thing the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth coming automatically is annoying because it actually drains the battery quicker so by turning it off and just wanting to stay off doesn't sound like a big deal but when you start using it and your battery is down pretty fast you quickly realize oh maybe I should turn it off maybe this is annoying you know things like that anyways despite all of that I still think this is worth it personally it's worth it because I happen to have a phone that connects to this wired my computer can connect to this wired so for me it is absolutely worth it for those of you there don't really care being able to stream Netflix Hulu primes and all that stuff this may still be worth it because you can still watch ESPN so a lot of people can't you know watching uh boxing UFC pfl any kind of mixed martial any kind of sports really you can still watch it on ESPN through these glasses I've tried it and I'm going to show you guys how to do that there's also something else that I want to mention you can actually connect Google TV to this I've made a video about two about a month ago or so on how to connect Google TV to your extra air glasses the same method is going to connect is going to work with this so you can actually play Android TV so that might be another reason why it's worth it now for those of you who have Android phones and you if you try to cast to this device and it's not working I'm gonna show you a way that no one has talked about yet but it's a tip on how to force your your Android phone to run desktop in in a way anyways thank you for watching if you have any other questions just feel free to drop it in the description I'm going to be making more videos on you know the things that you can do with this it is Android based so you can actually jailbreak it some people are already doing it if you go on Reddit or Discord there are people that already jailbreak uh jailbroken days and already started installing apps so you can do that personally I'm still gonna do it but I want to wait to see what kind of apps it's real releases for this and I really don't have a need to uh jailbreak mine just because I have decks and Dex is basically it's basically a better version of Google TV except you know now anyways thank you for watching
