Key Specs And Features
The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally features a 7-inch IPS display with a 1920x1080 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 500 nits brightness, and AMD FreeSync Premium variable refresh rate (VRR) support.
It's powered by an AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor based on Zen 2, featuring four cores, eight threads, a 2.8GHz base clock, up to a 3.8GHz boost clock, 2MB L2 + 4MB L3 cache for 6MB of total cache, and RDNA 2 graphics with eight cores clocked at up to 1.8GHz.
Other key specs include 16GB of LPDDR5-6400 memory (dual-channel), a 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid state drive (SSD), dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports, a 3.5mm combo audio jack, a microSD card reader, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless connectivity, and Dolby Atmos audio.
We have not spent any hands-on time with the non-X model, but we did review the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X and came away most impressed. That will give you a general idea of what to expect from this handheld. Note that the X model features a faster Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor based on Zen 5/5c, more RAM (24GB versus 16GB), a bigger battery (80Whr vs 60Whr), and swaps one of the USB 3.2 ports for a USB4 port.
