While we anticipate the reveal of the ROG Ally X on 2 June 2024, The Verge managed to get some hands-on experience with the revamped gaming device. No photos were shown but as far as we can tell, the ROG Ally X is an improvement. 

Before we get to that, we also got some new juicy rumours from the same leakster from the previous post. According to @MysteryLupin, he claimed that the ROG Ally X will have 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and also up to 8 hours of battery life. The latter sounds like a major improvement when compared to the current model which can only last under 2 hours of gameplay. 

While The Verge had a hands-on experience, it should be noted that the ROG Ally X they had was a prototype version. Also, they couldn't confirm the tech specs and features as they weren't allowed to do so. However, the ROG Ally X had some design changes here and there, although still retaining its 7-inch 120Hz display. Below are some extra information that The Verge recalls:

  • The ABXY face buttons feel like they’ve nudged slightly southward, closer to the analog stick, so that the B button now slightly intersects the grip
  • The face buttons are a little less rattle-y, though they still do pleasingly rattle
  • The joysticks now have a nicely tacky rubber coating in the middle, like the Steam Deck OLED — their throw felt slightly tighter, too
  • The D-pad now has eight-way indicators and felt very slightly floatier
  • The triggers maybe have a touch more throw and still have a nice smooth pull
  • There’s still just two back buttons
  • It still uses Phillips head screws
  • You still get RGB LED ring lights around the sticks; I couldn’t tell if they’d been added to the buttons, but they’re still double-shot
  • I could see through vent gaps in the chassis that there’s still a pair of fans inside

 

ASUS ROG has confirmed that the ROG Ally X will still use the Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor and has 1TB of storage. But that's pretty much it, folks. We have no idea how much improvement until we get to test it in our hands in the future. Until then, stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.
