Asus has officially confirmed the launch of the ROG Ally X, its upcoming handheld gaming console, on June 2. While the company has been mum on other details, a reliable X (formerly Twitter) tipster @MysteryLupin has leaked some of the key specs and the price of the device.

According to the tipster, the ROG Ally X retains the core features of its predecessor, the ROG Ally 2023. This includes a 7-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals.

Under the hood, the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor will continue to power the device. However, the most notable upgrade seems to be in storage capacity. The ROG Ally X will have a 1TB solid-state drive (SSD), doubling the storage space compared to the base ROG Ally 2023 model.

The leaked information also reveals a shift in the color scheme. While the original Ally came in white, the X variant is expected to be offered in black. The new shade could cater to users who prefer a sleeker aesthetic.

The price point is another noteworthy aspect. The ROG Ally X is tipped to launch at $799, a $100 increase compared to the “Extreme” version of the original ROG Ally. 

The reason for the price increase could likely be a combination of the upgraded storage and possibly a larger battery (details of which haven’t been revealed yet).

Previously, Asus Senior Vice President Shawn Yen hinted at a significant battery life improvement for the Ally X, without going into specifics.  If the battery upgrade translates to a noticeable increase in playtime, it could justify the price jump for users.

As the official launch is just around the corner, we can expect more details about the console to surface before its release.
