TL;DR

ASUS had previously announced a version of its ROG Xbox Ally handheld that comes with an OLED display as part of a bundle with the ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 AR glasses.

An ASUS spokesperson has now confirmed that the handheld will eventually be available on its own.

Pricing and availability aren’t yet known.

Last month, ASUS announced a new and improved variant of its ROG Xbox Ally handheld. The ROG Xbox Ally X20 comes with a handful of improvements over previous models, including a larger, brighter, OLED display — a big get coming from the LCD panels used in previous iterations. At the time, it seemed that model was exclusive to a bundle that also came with a pair of XREAL AR glasses. Now, though, ASUS has confirmed the refreshed handheld will eventually be available on its own.

An ASUS spokesperson confirmed to The Verge ‘s Sean Hollister that the company is in the process of working out when exactly customers will be able to buy an Ally X20 on its own. We still don’t know how much it’ll cost, but it’s safe to assume it’ll be pricey: the current top-end ROG Xbox Ally handheld, the Ally X, goes for a cool $1,000.
