Asus updates gaming handheld with OLED screen in new bundle

Asus has released a hardware refresh featuring an OLED screen for its gaming handheld device, according to Ars Technica. The updated device addresses previous display limitations with improved screen technology.

However, the OLED hardware refresh comes with a notable restriction for consumers. The new device is only available as part of a bundle that includes AR glasses, which carry a premium price point. This bundling requirement means customers seeking the improved OLED display must also purchase the accompanying AR accessories.

The bundle requirement may impact consumer adoption of the hardware refresh, as the additional cost of the AR glasses creates a higher barrier to entry compared to standalone device purchases. Gaming hardware enthusiasts interested in the OLED screen upgrade will need to consider whether the bundled AR glasses justify the increased total cost.
