ROG Xbox Ally X is back in stock at Currys in the UK — A chance to buy the high-end handheld before it sells out yet again

by

The Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X have been available for almost a week, and the Ally X is already sold out at stores across the UK.

Good news for UK gamers! Currys now has the Xbox Ally handheld back in stock for £799.00, giving fans another opportunity to buy one before it’s gone again.

Why should you buy the Xbox Ally X?

The Xbox Ally X is a top-performing gaming handheld, improving on the already impressive ASUS ROG Ally X.

I was really impressed with how smoothly this device handled games. It consistently delivered over 60 frames per second at 1080p resolution. That’s thanks to its powerful Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor, and the vibrant 7-inch FHD IPS touchscreen definitely helped – it’s got a fast refresh rate up to 120Hz and supports AMD FreeSync Premium for even smoother gameplay.

The Xbox Ally X stays cool even during long gaming sessions thanks to its quiet and effective cooling system, so it won’t be distracting. It’s also designed with comfortable grips that fit well in your hands and prevent wrist strain, even after hours of play.

It also features both USB4-C and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, allowing you to charge the device and connect accessories simultaneously.

Currently, the biggest downsides to this Xbox handheld are that its Windows software isn’t as well-optimized as on regular PCs, it doesn’t have an OLED screen, and it lacks touchpads or Hall Effect sensors in the joysticks and triggers.

The Xbox ROG Ally X’s battery life varies depending on what you’re doing. You can expect around 2 hours of playtime with demanding AAA games, about 6 hours with less intensive indie games when using Silent Mode, and up to 14.5 hours for everyday tasks like browsing or office work in Windows Mode.

If you can overlook its imperfections and afford the steep price of £799.00, the Xbox Ally X is a great choice for anyone looking for a top-of-the-line handheld gaming experience.

Even a former PlayStation leader, Shuhei Yoshida, is impressed with the Xbox Ally X, which says a lot about how good it is.

It’s selling quickly throughout the UK, so if you want one, you should act fast. We don’t know how long it will be available at Currys for £799.00 before it sells out.
