ROG Xbox Ally X20 Adds 7.4-inch OLED, Redesigned Controls
ASUS’s ROG Xbox Ally X20 adds a 7.4-inch OLED, redesigned grips, repositioned bumpers and triggers, TMR joysticks and a transforming D-pad, reviewers report.
ASUS revealed the ROG Xbox Ally X20 today. Reviewers who tested pre-release units reported a larger 7.4-inch OLED, redesigned grips, repositioned bumpers and triggers, TMR analog joysticks and a transforming D-pad. ASUS has not announced price or a firm release date; the device is expected to ship in 2026.
The display replaces the previous 7-inch IPS panel with a 7.4-inch OLED. Testers noted richer color and stronger contrast compared with the IPS screen, and described the size increase as more noticeable in person than on paper.
Hands-on accounts described ergonomic changes to the chassis and control layout. Grips were reported as more comfortable, bumpers and triggers were moved slightly for improved reach, and the TMR-style sticks were called “incredibly smooth.” The D-pad changes configuration depending on input and was reported useful for action and retro-style games.
Coverage also addressed fit, finish and balance during play. Units tested with a pair of ROG Xreal glasses were used in demo sessions. Reviewers observed small modifications to button and trigger texture and travel that affected tactile feel without overhauling the platform.
One hands-on write-up concluded: “After spending an afternoon with the ROG Xbox Ally X20 and the ROG Xreal R1 X20, Asus went above and beyond here for sure…Asus’ engineers went back to the drawing board and made seemingly small but very noticeable changes to the Xbox Ally X.” Another report described the new screen as “absolutely beautiful” and added that the jump from a 7-inch IPS panel to a 7.4-inch OLED “does make a huge difference.”
The original Ally models received criticism for their screen, ergonomics and input feel. The X20 focuses on display and controller refinements rather than major internal hardware changes. ASUS indicated it plans further iterations of the Ally lineup, and more detailed reviews and technical breakdowns are expected as additional review units reach journalists ahead of a consumer launch.
