Wow, that is one ugly design. Please look at Anbernic, Nintendo or Retroid. Goddamn this is puke

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

that's clearly an Asus ROG handheld. The backshot makes it quite clear, with the signature "eye" shape.

edit: nvm, only noticed after it was talking about some "partnership" with Asus in the written piece. Yeah, it's an ROG basically, nothing proprietary to MS

 

[Radical_3d]

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

ask for the price jizz corden.

 

[TrebleShot]

Whilst it looks odd, the handles will make it infinitely more comfortable than the current one. The biggest issue here is the screen being the exact same with those huge bezels. blurgh

 

[MakeMudosGreatAgain]

 

[Zathalus]

So it is basically a ROG Ally X with a different grip and some Xbox branding? Meh, I'd only be interested if it comes with the Z2 Extreme, and then I'd simply slap Bazzite on it.

[demigod]

Looks like the design was made to reflect Jez.

 

[Quixz]

Not very pretty but probably feels good to hold..

 

[Mownoc]

So it's an Rog Ally with grips. Looks ugly as hell but hopefully more comfortable than the Ally.

"Xbox's" lol.

[Venom Snake]

I like this approach, i prefer solid ergonomics over stylish looks. Function over form.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Dpad looks awful.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Looks like a €15 toy you buy at a yard sale.

Finally. A handheld for Paul Bunyon

Woah, and 64GB of RAM? Damn, now I am interested.

 

[Astray]

Honestly doesn't look like anything Xbox. The visual identity is almost entirely missing here.

Even the Xbox button and logo doesn't look consistent with how it looks on any other modern Xbox device.

 

[MrRibeye]

Aye, totally looks like the classic fat controller. It's a bit ugly but I bet it feels great in hand.

 

[SlyDoughnut]

To be fair, if this thing plays as good as an S, has a revamped slick OS, handles Gamepass and cloud gaming and can dock they could be on to something.

 

[Ozzie666]

Feels like MS chasing another trend far too late and half ass. I miss tradtional hand held gaming with cheaper games designed for the hand held. I don't need PC level graphics. Will still keep an eye on this, but so far, feel pretty 'meh' about it.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

And cost $1300 after tariffs with "normal" windows installation

 

[Baemono]

Okay Jez next time don't touch the device before taking pictures

 

[SlyDoughnut]

And cost $1300 after tariffs with "normal" windows installation

Yeah. Price could be problematic but if it ships with anything like a windows it's dead. I'm just thinking even Phil has said, can't quite remember the interview, that windows normal OS is holding the mobile experience back so I'd imagine this was a priority.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Its a rog ally.

 

[bitbydeath]

At least the sticks are more aligned!

 

[Unknown Soldier]

So it's an ROG Ally with different plastic molding on the frame?

 

[bitbydeath]

No mention of Xbox on it anywhere.
Wonder if they'll just call it a Microsoft Gaming Device.

 

[cireza]

"Handheld"

Isn't that a ROG ? I don't understand

 

[Ozriel]

Why would it be a re-release of a year old device?

Isn't that a ROG ? I don't understand

Yes. It's an ROG. That's all it's ever been leaked as. Basically an Asus ROG with the new Windows UX for handheld gaming. Nobody ever said Microsoft was making it.

Call it 'Project BOMB' because this hunk of crap is going to bomb the xbox brand even further into the abyss. No one is going to buy this overpriced piece of crap, just like no one is buying the series s/x. Once you decided to go third party, you essentially lost all semblance of consumer faith in your hardware and in your brand.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

One of the ugliest pieces of tech I've ever seen, atrocious.

 

[The_Mike]

I am confused.

The black unit looks identical to the white unit, but behind the white unit there's an Asus logo.

Are Asus making these?

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

This is basically MS-branded verison of Ally 2. So no news and nothing interesting.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Looks like the original Xbox design team were reactivated for this, but not in a good sense

 

[Mownoc]

"Indonesian publication 91Mobiles found a certification for a new ASUS handheld at the local certification company for two different models: the RC73XA and the RC73YA."

"The white one seems to be the regular Asus ROG Ally 2, while the black one appears to feature an Xbox button and could therefore be the Xbox branded handheld."

White = ROG Ally 2
Black = ROG Ally 2 with Xbox Branding

 

[DenchDeckard]

YEah, it's a ROG ally with odd looking handles. I guess it might be more comfortable, but I am not convinced based on these images.

I need to sell my OG rog ally ASAP. lol

 

[jm89]

Specs for the xbox branded one makes it seem like it's gonna be expensive as shit.

 

[Nonehxc]

So a dirty ROG Ally.

How the mighty have fallen. From engineering their best piece of hardware to dumpster diving Foxconn's thrash for 'surplus' Asus ROG Ally
