The successor to the PC handheld ASUS ROG Ally now has a final name – and the hardware launch date has also been set.
After the Steam Deck made the PC handheld product category socially acceptable, a number of competitors came onto the market, including the successful ASUS ROG Ally. As a result, ASUS had already indicated that it wanted to bring a successor onto the market in 2024 – and it now has a final name and an introduction date.
Via The Verge The company has now confirmed that the new PC handheld will not be called ROG Ally 2, but rather ROG Ally X. The new device should continue to be available during 2024 and will be presented in more detail on June 2, 2024.
However, some key data have already been determined: The ASUS ROG Ally What should improve substantially, however, is the battery life. On this front, according to SVP Shawn Yen, ASUS wants to ensure significantly higher capacity, which is quite something: “We’re not just aiming for 30 to 40 percent more capacity, but more than that.”
Battery life was widely considered to be the biggest weakness of previous hardware, so it’s only logical that ASUS would start here. Incidentally, there should also be more memory than the 16 GB in the previous variant. Further details will be reserved for the official presentation at the beginning of June.
First came the SteamDeck, now the competition is moving in – in the case of the ASUS ROG Ally, with more power and higher resolution, among other things. Andi and Felix introduce you to the PC gaming handheld.
