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

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
 
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.

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

"Xbox's" lol.

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
And cost $1300 after tariffs with "normal" windows installation :messenger_winking:
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.

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.

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

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

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 😄
