- Asus has revealed the new ROG Xbox Ally X20 handheld at Computex 2026
- It features a bigger 7.4-inch screen and now has an OLED panel
- The handheld will come bundled with the ROG XReal R1 Edition 20 gaming AR glasses
June has certainly kicked off with a bang for gamers, with Summer Game Fest 2026 imminent, and notably, several new hardware announcements at Computex 2026 — and we've spotted one of the best yet.
Asus just announced the new ROG Xbox Ally X20 handheld gaming PC at Computex 2026, serving as an upgrade to the ROG Xbox Ally X. This time, it features a bigger 7.4-inch display and, notably, an OLED panel, rivaling the Lenovo Legion Go 2.
Notably, the ROG XReal R1 Edition 20 gaming AR glasses are bundled with the ROG Xbox Ally X20, allowing gamers to project their games onto a bigger, more immersive 171-inch micro-OLED 240Hz display with a 0.01ms response time.
The X20 possibly features one of the best displays in terms of brightness, with 1,400-nit peak HDR brightness, 0.2ms response time, and a VESA DisplayHDR 1000 rating. Combined with an anti-reflective coating, which reduces glare by 65%, gaming is made much easier when in bright environments.
Comment from r/Handhelds
Essentially, it sounds like Asus has landed a winner with this handheld, particularly in its specifications, and it has, unsurprisingly, left some consumers excited.
As noted on Reddit, with one user stating it's "almost the perfect handheld for many". However, there is one question among consumers that Asus hasn't answered yet: the ROG Xbox Ally X20's price.
The newly announced MSI Claw 8 EX AI+, using Intel's Arc G3 Extreme processor, is reportedly starting at $1,500 (around £1,120 / AU$2,100), but MSI has yet to confirm this. If the purported price is legitimate, it will effectively spoil any form of excitement built around the device ahead of its eventual launch, and the ROG Xbox Ally X20 could be placed in the same expensive category.
It's also worth noting that the XReal R1 Edition 20 gaming AR glasses already cost $849 / £749 / around AU$1,799 individually, so that likely pushes the bundle's price at or just under $2,000.
Prices for consoles, desktop PC components, and handhelds have skyrocketed to unaffordable levels in 2026 due to the RAM crisis, and the more feature-rich a handheld device sounds coming out of Computex 2026, the more expensive it will be — and the OLED addition for the Ally X20 sounds like the perfect case for a high price.
