For that purpose, it passes the test with flying colors for me. If you're using it as an AR device with AR related apps, it's a disappointment to me. AR is a barely-fleshed-out application right now. The most fleshed out AR glass with ecosystem of apps is the Microsoft Hololens, but I'm not buying that 5-figures AR glasses just as a screen replacement.

With its 1080p screen, its perfectly legible to me. I read Kindle eBooks on it. I monitor crypto charts on it. I watch streaming shows on it. I can work using keyboard on it, because its augmented reality (AR), not VR. With AR I can use my portable foldable bluetooth keyboard with it, the keyboard is perfectly visible in the field of vision not covered by the enormous screen. I can use SamsungDEX's feature that turns the Fold 2 screen into a touchpad. I can even opt to use a bluetooth mouse, again because it's AR not VR.

I was heavily considering Oculus Quest 2 due to its standalone nature, too bad the Android OS it's running is too locked down, I cant run streaming services like Disney+ or HBO MAX because those services only have apks for standard Android devices, not the Quest's Android flavor. And then there's the all-encompassing nature of a VR headset like Oculus Quest 2, that makes being productive with keyboards and mice impossible. With the AR Glasses, it's a mixed reality, I can see what I'm working on and I can still see and use the keyboard and mice to work.

The fact that it's light and doesnt consume power other than the power from the Fold 2's battery itself means I dont have to worry about battery ddepletion. But it eats into the Fold 2's battery you say? That problem is solved by the powerbank I'm using, that alloes power pass through AND video/data passthrough while charging. 26800mAh should be more than plenty to get through the day.

If you do decide to follow my route and get the glasses, Expansys offers the Glasses around MYR200 cheaper than the official website. And the must have accessory to get IMO, is a 90 degrees USB-C to USB-C cable. It'll be uncomfortable to chillax on the couch or bed while web-browsing or watching shows with the straight USB-C cable jutting out from the back.

In the end, this setup is not for everyone. Some stillprefer a physical screen to work with instead of a floating augmented reality one, no matter how huge it is. I'm just tired lugging around 13" monitor around, even if it's "portable" and thin. With these AR Glasses, it's nothing unlike carrying sunglasses in its case, and the Glasses comes with a metal varrying case or a soft cloth pouch, whichever you prefer.
