Asus is pushing its Xbox-branded handheld lineup into four-figure territory. The OLED ROG Xbox Ally X20 will cost $1,300 while adding several display and control features, Kotaku reports.
OLED and refreshed controls
The Xbox Ally X20 includes an OLED display, TMR joysticks, and a new D-pad. That puts the screen and controls at the centre of this model’s hardware package.
The TMR sticks are particularly notable for players weighing different handheld control options, while the redesigned directional pad provides another clear change to the device’s inputs. Together, the features give buyers more than the OLED panel alone to consider when assessing Asus’s asking price.
How the competition compares
For shoppers comparing premium handhelds, the Lenovo Legion Go 2 offers its own OLED screen alongside detachable controllers. It also has more RAM than the Xbox Ally X20, according to Kotaku.
The broader pricing landscape has shifted as well. The same report notes that the Steam Deck OLED, which previously cost $650, is now priced at $950. Asus’s new model therefore arrives in a market where other OLED handheld options also carry elevated prices, though their hardware features differ.
Would the Xbox Ally X20’s TMR sticks, new D-pad, and OLED screen justify its asking price for you?
