ASUS has officially launched its new handheld gaming device in the Philippines, the ASUS ROG Ally X. It features a new design and increased storage, RAM, and battery life.
First introduced at Computex 2024, the ASUS ROG Ally X features fresh upgrades from its predecessor, including a redesigned chassis, deeper handles, a more rounded body shape for improved grip, and more ergonomic button and stick arrangement with slanted triggers for easier pressing.
The ROG Ally X also brings new smaller fans with thinner and increased blades, substantially enhancing the airflow. A new tunnel design and a third vent has been added for an improved heat dissipation and reduced panel temperature.
Moreover, other new features include smaller macro buttons on the back to reduce accidental presses, a more durable module for the joystick, and improved D-Pad for precise eight-direction input. Two USB-C ports, one Thunderbolt compatible, has replaced the XG Mobile port, allowing for a wider compatibility with third-party docks and external GPUs.
For technical specs, the ASUS ROG Ally X comes with a 7-inch FHD IPS glossy panel with 120Hz refresh rate, 7ms response time, 500nits of brightness, Dolby Vision, FreeSync Premium, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.
Under the hood, it is powered by the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme (Zen4 architecture with 4nm process, 8-core /16-threads, 24MB total cache, up to 5.10Ghz boost) with AMD Radeon Graphics (AMD RDNA 3, 12 CUs, up to 2.7 GHz, up to 8.6 Teraflops).
The ROG Ally X is also equipped with up to 24GB LPDDR5 on board memory with dual channel memory support, up to 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSD, and 80Whr battery with USB-C 65W Power Adapter.
The ASUS ROG Ally X is priced at PHP 56,995 with a 3-month Xbox PC Game Pass and is now available through official ASUS ROG stores nationwide. Inclusions include an ASUS 4A Quality and Service warranty service package and Preventive Maintenance.
