Very nice! I was already thinking that I cannot use the Xreal Air 2 Pro with my Sony 10 IV, because that has no video output via USB-C. I hope to receive the Air 2 Pro & Beam soon, preordered them a few weeks ago.
You actually really helped me with this. Now I can play games without controller support on big screen without the awful aspect ratio . Liked and subbed my man
Really appreciate all the work u put into ur videos to help us new users of the xreal air and beam, I recently learn from the discord how to change from 60 to 120hz and it feels so nice 👍 maybe u can make a video of that
Great vid. Got a question tho, does the beam and desired casting device have to have on the same wifi? I don’t have in home internet, my only technical access in through my iPhone hotspot. I have a Roku and use my hotspot to to mirror to my tv, would this work the same?
Have you figured out a way to charge the beam while using it? If yes, can you make a video on it? Ideal setup would be to charge the beam and the input device at the same time but I'm happy if I can just charge the beam for now.
@@KingKola_ I am honestly confused. See, I did more research on this and even asked in the Xreal Subreddit but everyone is saying that the beam charging indicator is on, but it never gets enough wattage to sustain indefinite usage and the battery will run out. So I am confused as to how you have found a solution?
I love this video and have just one question. If I am casting to the XBeam with something like RUclips, can I close my phone? This way I can find what I want to watch and once its playing, close the phone screen and chill with a movie. If anyone has an answer please let me know. I am stuck between the XReal/XBeam and the Rokid Max AR..... Help!
So the glasses have to be tethered to the beam and the beam needs to be tethered to a device that's not castable so can you use a wireless HDMI with the beam that might be a good video
2 question: 1. Can I play RUclips or any video from iPhone? 2. Is this screen really looking big and close to your eyes? About 15 years ago I try Sony glasses and it was bad experience. Screen looks small and like it was 20 meters from you
Force desktop doesn't work on Redmi 11s, just black screen with a mouse, any solutions? What 'cheap phone' do you use in this video that has proven desktop mode working?
Your voice sounds more distant compared to your last video about the Xreal Beam. I can still hear you clearly but the volume on my S23 Ultra is maxed out.
I just wonder how good the privacy is to connect desktop mode to the beam. That might open a window to Xreal to collect way more data on your phone and usage no? Idk
Hello, When I connect with Samsung Dex, the basic applications remain on the screen. If I want to enter the applications, nothing happens!! he's dead How to enter applications with Samsung Dex so that I can see Netflix, etc. Thanks for the reply !
That's pretty awesome. I'll wait until I can get virtual desktop like features from a mobile, like they have with Mac's right now. Also the idea of the Beam is really irritating, I don't want another bulky item to carry around. Unless someone can enlighten me on why the Beam is required for is your mobile supports Alt Display mode. A pre-requisite is the feature where the screen stay's in the exact same place.
Hello, When I connect the USB Type-C cable to the beam on my Samsung M51 nothing happens, I would like to use the glasses without WiFi outside the house just with the cell phone's internet, is it not compatible with my cell phone? NOTE: original cable supplied by Xreal
I have a ulefone successfully cast to glasses through the beam but it seems after the update it won't connect or maybe there's something wrong with the beam anybody else having this problem? Thanks for the info
@@KingKola_ in the cast window I click on x real beam 124 says connecting for a little while then the times out never connects since the update I used a another ulefone and connected for about 20 seconds disconnected and hasn't been able to reconnect again got to display of the phone in the glasses Don't know if it's the beam or if it was the update...the update happened two days after I got the classes I believe I received the glasses on August 15th... Display was working fine before the second update watching videos and running apps even use the thermal imaging camera through the glasses I tried a few other old phones but none of them are on the list or would connect... Might just have to see if I could pick up a cheap phone that's on the list... Thanks for the videos Will keep an eye on your channel thanks
Desktop Mode on MOST Android if not ANY? REALLY?! Surely I am missing more than something. please tell me what it is. Did you reearch and find these niche Android phones or just happen to have it? BC even though some just do, the XPs arent polished enough and also bc ive been trying to set up the cheapest possible rig for ANDROID HIDDEN DESKTOP MODE for a few years with you name it: Casting to Android Stick/morroring/Customizing ROM/Trying new phones (from REDMI 2 Prime upto SD680 SoC Budgets)/USB C 2.0 to HDMI cable/Emulation APPS: Taskbar/Sentio/Laptop DOCK: NEXDock/etc from top of my head But Finally ended up buying a Device with DEX support. OnePlus n LG had it but didnt see them developing post Android 11 if i rem right. So i think I just wanna confirm if I Failed Hard in testing these . atleast its the sense i get after watching your video
guys. i found this 1 cable that works perfect even for fire stick with buds. WJESOG HDMI to USB C Cable 6.6ft 4K@60Hz With USB Power Adapter,HDMI Male to Type C Male Converter Support Touch for New MacBook Pro,Mac Air,Microsoft Surface,Nreal Air. its a bit expensive but work's with or without a beam. from amazon
Yocast for andoids you wont get to use glasses feature but you will be able to use them bruh finally a real review
Without the beam
With beam my bad
Thank you! I could not figure out how to wireless connect to my S22 Ultra or Z Fold 5. Was about to return the Beam. Great tutorial
My pleasure, and thabk you for dropping in

You'll love the it, especially with the newest beam update.
Thanks Kola, this vid was seriously useful. I couldn’t figure it out on the Samsung until I came across your video. Thumbs up.

My guess is you found your answer by now, but if you didn't then the beam is the way to go.
Great always was confused why there was desktop mode in developer's settings
Wow Thanks! The Smartview is the only way to go with a Samsung product!
Great content bruv!
Thanks fam
so it should probably work for A52s too (as it doesnt have video output over usbc) ... was thinking of cancelling my Xreal Pro 2 order because of it
can you cast the home screen of phone in vertical , and can you put it in the corner of your vision?
does it show up in vertical when you want and can you corner the cast in vertical?
So the glasses have to be tethered to the beam and the beam needs to be tethered to a device that's not castable so can you use a wireless HDMI with the beam that might be a good video

2. Is this screen really looking big and close to your eyes?
About 15 years ago I try Sony glasses and it was bad experience. Screen looks small and like it was 20 meters from you
Yes, for the iPhone section in timestamp. You can make the screen small or large, and closer or further.
Is there anyway to watch RUclips or Prime with the beam on a IPhone?
Force desktop doesn't work on Redmi 11s, just black screen with a mouse, any solutions?
What 'cheap phone' do you use in this video that has proven desktop mode working?
Your voice sounds more distant compared to your last video about the Xreal Beam.
I can still hear you clearly but the volume on my S23 Ultra is maxed out.
Thanks for the feedback, i'll be sure to increase my microphone gain next time.
Seems like these glasses are a better option vs the rokid max. Especially with the dif screen options
Yes they are
Does it have to be the same Wi-Fi?
I just wonder how good the privacy is to connect desktop mode to the beam. That might open a window to Xreal to collect way more data on your phone and usage no? Idk
No it won't work like that since it's being projected and xreal isn't installed on your device.
I have an iPhone 15 Pro and when I use screen mirroring mode on the iPhone, it doesn't show the beam available. What could it be?
The miracast probably isn't initiating, run the tutorial sequence that shows how to connect to an iphone. That usually triggers it to come on.

You technically can get virtual desktop using GingerXR via your phone

I don't believe that phone supports display port, you could google it though to see if it does.
can you use xbeam while charging your xbeam?
Yes, when using the beam as a stand alone, or when i'm doing wireless casting.
Can you please check if pixel 7a would work with this setup
Check the description for timestamp i included
Nice video.
Do I have to get there official hdmi to usb c cable or can I just get any third party?
You can get a thirt party one. I put one in the description.
Is there a way to use Samsung Dex static on the xreal with out the beam.
Yes through wired connection
Can i do this wired? Or cast is must?
You won't be able to try it wired if your phone doesn't have a usb c display port.
Can you use the xreal glasses with the rokid station?
Yes, but only if you have the beam as well. the station will connect to the beam, but not straight to the glasses with out the beam.
@@KingKola_ also do you have to get the official xreal hdmi cable, or can I get a third party that gives me the same experience?
My phone doesn't allow screen cast over mobile data, only WiFi. Is there any way of connecting it to the Beam?
Just connect both the beam and your phone to the same network. What kind of phone do you have?
@@KingKola_ oppo Reno 3a
That is fire
My beam doesnt appear when using my samsung phone. Do you know why is that? is there something i need to turn on?
What kind of Samsung phone do you have? Your answer might be in the time stamp of the video that says Samsung users.
@@KingKola_ its working now! It seems I had the bug where you have to restart the beam after using it with another device or something like that
awesome
Does this work with pixel devices?
Give it a shot, i put timestamps for pixel users
Beam isn't showing up under cast...
I have a ulefone successfully cast to glasses through the beam but it seems after the update it won't connect or maybe there's something wrong with the beam anybody else having this problem? Thanks for the info
Won't cast at all, or just specific contents?

How is the lag?
It's fine when browsing or watching content, but for games you'd be better off wired.
Still doesn't work with Google pixel phones.
Get the beam, the beam and glasses can now work independent of a phone. And you still get spatial display along with streaming services like netflix.
used the beam with the switch and it is def not a full 60 fps feels like 40 because of jitters
I don't have a switch, but i can believe that
@KingKola01 it was good before the update it helped the smooth follow retain detail but tanked the frames
@@chellur9562 interesting
Who had a pixel phone?😂
Lol
