The ASUS ROG Ally X handheld gaming console will launch in China on July 13. This was revealed by an official statement by ASUS of its upcoming product launch event. The ROG Ally X was unveiled for the global market in June, equipped with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU with an impressive 80Wh battery capacity. The gaming handheld comes with several improvements above its predecessor. It has a memory capacity of 24GB and its solid-state drive slot is the M.2 2280 model.

The ASUS ROG Handheld X was announced last month and is a successor to the first-generation ASUS ROG Handheld. It has a doubled battery capacity over its predecessor while the hard drive capacity is doubled to 1TB from its first iteration. The memory was also upgraded to 24GB LPDDR5X-7500. The new ASUS handheld game console has a joystick module with an upgraded lifetime of 5 million times from the original 2 million times. The spring feel is a bit tighter and can be easily replaced. The D-Pad cross-key design provides greater feedback clarity unlike previously.

The ASUS ROG Handheld X features two Type-C interfaces on the top (replacing the XG Mobile graphics card in the original model). One of the USB-C ports supports USB4 while the other is rated USB 3.2 Gen 2. Both USB-C interfaces support PD 3.0 charging and DisplayPort 1.4 connection support. The ROG Handheld X has an upgraded zero-gravity cooling system that achieves up to 30W of heat dissipation capacity. The fan size of the heat dissipation system is reduced while the air volume is increased. The ASUS ROG Handheld X gaming console is priced at $799.

Asus ROG Ally X is official with more storage, improved battery, and new chassis

After months of speculation, Asus has finally unveiled the ROG Ally X at Computex 2024. While not a full-fledged sequel to the original Ally, the X version brings several improvements that make it an even more compelling option for portable PC gaming.

Asus ROG Ally X Specifications

The biggest change lies under the hood. The Z1 Extreme processor powering the handheld remains the same, but it now sits on a new motherboard that supports full 2280 SSDs, one which supports double-sided drives.

Asus has also doubled the storage on the base variant to a hefty 1TB SSD. The RAM has been increased to 24GB of DDR5-7500 — 8GB which is dedicated to the Z1 Extreme’s integrated GPU.

Moreover, the ROG Ally X now packs an 80mAh cell, double that of the original Ally, and Asus has addressed thermal concerns with larger heat pipes and quieter fans. This also makes an impact on the performance draw as the performance mode now runs at 17W, up from 15W, and the silent mode has increased from 10W to 13W.

Design-wise, the ROG Ally X retains its sleek black asthetics but receives some control layout refinements. The D-pad has been improved, the joysticks are redesigned for better durability and a five-million-cycle lifespan (compared to the Steam Deck’s two million), and the macro button on the back is now smaller and more discreet.

One notable change is the removal of the XGM port, replaced by a second USB Type-C port. One of these ports is Thunderbolt compatible allowing users to connect an external GPU for even more demanding gaming experiences.

The display remains the same as the original Ally, a 7-inch 1080p panel with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Price and Availability

The ROG Ally X is currently available for pre-order starting at $799 and shipping starts on July 22nd. You can pre-order it from Best Buy.
