I tried the Asus AR glasses with the OLED Ally — they felt extraneous.

I enjoy plugging Xreal glasses into handhelds for a huge virtual desktop — but that’s no reason to make us buy the priciest version with a 240Hz mode handhelds have trouble powering. Plus, 240Hz halves resolution from 1080p to 540p, which felt weird and ugly in person. (120Hz was fine.) Good thing Asus will now sell the OLED Ally separately!
