Asus announces pricing and features for the ROG Ally X20 handheld gaming console

Asus has officially announced the pricing and features for the new ROG Ally X20 handheld gaming console, which is scheduled for release on October 15. The device is priced at $1,299 for the standalone unit, or $2,499 for a comprehensive bundle that includes protective glasses, a Pelican case, and a Dbrand kill switch case. The most significant hardware update is the inclusion of a 7.4-inch 600-nit OLED HDR display, which features a 16:9 aspect ratio and native landscape orientation. Other notable improvements include more resistive TMR joysticks, a versatile D-pad that can be switched between 8-way and 4-way configurations, and enhanced cooling systems to manage the heat generated by the OLED panel. Additionally, the device features improved textured grips for better handling and a micro-SD card slot that now supports Express cards. Despite being 41 grams heavier than previous models, the device maintains the familiar form factor of the ROG Ally series. Pre-orders are currently available at Best Buy in the United States and Canada.
