How outlets framed it

The German source emphasizes the hybrid nature of the Xreal Aura as a computer glasses co-developed with Google and its autumn launch in German-speaking countries. In contrast, Russian, Italian, French, and several US sources highlight the opening of pre-orders with a $99 deposit, but that the full price remains undisclosed; the French source specifically notes the deposit is not the final price and that only 2,000 units are available. While most sources are neutral to positive, they consistently focus on the unresolved price mystery and the deposit mechanism, with little variation in factual coverage across countries.
