The OLED Xbox Ally X20 is so good, Asus will sell it solo
Asus has officially announced it will sell the OLED version of its Ally handheld as a standalone unit rather than an exclusive bundle. Previously limited to a high-priced package with AR glasses, the device is now entering the broader consumer market.
The product, colloquially referred to as the OLED Xbox Ally X, was initially revealed with a retail strategy that required customers to purchase it alongside expensive augmented reality glasses. This decision drew criticism from those seeking a high-end handheld experience without the additional hardware cost.
Reports indicate that the standalone version aims to capitalize on the device's high-quality display and performance capabilities, which have been favorably compared to existing market leaders. The move follows positive feedback from early testers who praised the OLED integration and ergonomic improvements.
Asus has not yet provided a specific rollout date for all regions, but the shift in strategy is expected to make the handheld more competitive against rivals like the Steam Deck OLED. Source: The Verge.
