Asus announces Xbox ROG Ally X20 and ROG Xreal R1 Glasses bundle

Asus has officially announced the ROG Xbox Ally X20 handheld at Computex 2026. The handheld arrives as one of the numerous products unveiled to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ROG brand. However, the ROG Xbox Ally X20 isn't a special edition of Asus's previous handhelds, but a separate device.

The ROG Xbox Ally X20 has a 7.4-inch OLED display with a FHD+ resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The panel has a peak brightness of 1400 nits, 120Hz variable refresh rate (30Hz to 120Hz), and support for Dolby Vision and ROG Nebula HDR. It also has a VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification and a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. Like the ROG Xbox Ally X, the screen has an anti-reflective coating and Corning XC glass protection.

Under the hood is a Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor paired with 24GB of LPPDR5X RAM and 1TB of PCIe 4.0 NVME storage. It also has an 80Wh battery. There's still a microSD card slot for adding more storage, but it has now been upgraded to microSD Express just like that of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Asus has equipped the ROG Xbox Ally X20 with TMR thumbsticks and has increased the LEDs in the RGB rings from 2 to 4. There are also new RGB features such as real-time reaction to your movement and visual feedback in compatible games such as when an enemy is approaching from either side.

Asus has also redesigned the ABXY buttons and the D-pad. The former is reported to be closer to those on the Xbox wireless controller while the latter is a combination of dome switches and a rubber membrane. Another neat feature of the D-Pad is that it can transform from a regular 4-way D-pad to an 8-way D-pad by lifting and rotating it. The latter is great for fighting games.

In addition, the ROG Xbox Ally X20 uses a new type of rubber called TPS for the grips. This new material is harder and will last longer. The case itself has a translucent shell and some of the buttons are gold. The ROG Xbox Ally X20 will be sold as a bundle with a 20th anniversary edition of the ROG Xreal R1 glasses that was announced recently. It will be released this holiday, but Asus has not revealed the price.
