Asus will release a standalone version of the OLED Xbox Ally X20 handheld, previously only available bundled with AR glasses. The new handheld features a superior 7.4-inch OLED screen that offers better clarity and brightness compared to competitors, making it a strong option for gamers.
Asus has announced that it will sell the OLED Xbox Ally X20 as a standalone product, according to spokesperson Anthony Spence. This marks a shift from the initial plan to bundle the handheld with costly AR glasses, making the device more accessible to consumers.
The OLED Xbox Ally X20 features a 7.4-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1080p. In testing, this screen outperformed the 8-inch IPS panel on the MSI Claw 8 EX and the display on the Legion Go 2, providing better clarity due to its anti-glare cover. With peak brightness of 1,400 nits, it offers a significant advantage in bright environments.
Retailing around $1,000, the OLED Ally is positioned as a competitive option among high-end handhelds, especially against the $1,800 MSI Claw 8 EX. Its comfortable design and screen quality make it appealing to gamers seeking premium handheld experiences without the high price tag of its competitors.
Initial hands-on experiences have described the OLED Xbox Ally X20 as comfortable and refined, catering to gamers who value display quality and ease of use. With the move to offer it standalone, Asus aims to attract a wider audience who may have been deterred by the initial bundle requirement.
