The ROG Ally X stands as a beacon of versatility, bridging multiple game libraries into a single, cohesive device. Fully compatible with Steam, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games, GOG, and beyond, this gaming handheld ensures that wherever you buy your games, you can play them on the Ally X. Thanks to the power of cloud saves and expansive online game libraries, gamers can easily transition from a few minutes of gameplay during a break to extensive sessions at home, seamlessly continuing their adventures on their primary gaming setups. At the heart of the ROG Ally X is AMD’s formidable Ryzen™ Z1 Extreme processor. Engineered with the cutting-edge 4nm process, this processor incorporates Zen 4 architecture and RDNA™ 3 graphics, pushing the boundaries of handheld gaming performance. Advanced upscaling technologies such as AMD Fluid Motion Frames and Radeon™ Super Resolution enhance framerates while maintaining superior image quality. The Ally X provides three distinct operating modes, allowing users to balance performance and power consumption, from a quiet 10W Silent Mode to an exhilarating 30W Turbo Mode when connected to AC power.
The collaboration between ROG and AMD has unlocked the full potential of the Ryzen™ Z1 Extreme processor, positioning the Ally X as a powerhouse in the gaming world. This processor is equipped with AMD’s latest graphics technologies, including FSR and RSR for high-quality upscaling, Fluid Motion Frames for smoother gameplay, and Radeon Anti-Lag for more responsive controls. These features can be fine-tuned for individual games via the Armoury Crate, ensuring optimized performance for both new releases and classic titles. Storage is a non-issue with the ROG Ally X, which comes with a PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD offering up to 1TB of space right out of the box. The support for the M.2 2280 form factor means gamers can easily upgrade their storage in the future, keeping their favorite games readily available. The upgraded SSD ensures quick load times and ample space for a diverse game library, making spontaneous gaming sessions more feasible than ever.
The ROG Ally X also boasts a significant increase in RAM, featuring 24GB of ultra-fast 7500MHz LPDDR5X RAM shared between the system and the GPU. This increase ensures that even the most demanding games can run smoothly with all the graphical settings maxed out. The latest AMD graphics technologies, including FSR, RSR, Fluid Motion Frames, and Radeon Anti-Lag, are all supported, making the Ally X a top-tier device for gaming on the go. Gaming on the Ally X’s 1080p touchscreen display is a visual delight. The 7-inch panel supports a 120Hz refresh rate and FreeSync™ Premium, delivering fluid and responsive gameplay. With a peak brightness of 500 nits, the display remains clear and vibrant even in bright outdoor conditions, while the Corning® Gorilla® Glass DXC coating enhances durability and reduces reflections, ensuring a consistently high-quality viewing experience.
Ergonomics have been meticulously considered in the design of the ROG Ally X. Taller handgrips, refined macro keys, and optimized button placements ensure comfort during extended gaming sessions. The slight adjustments to the joystick positions relative to the D-Pad and face buttons, along with custom-tailored slants, contribute to a more natural and comfortable hand feel. The unique ROG-themed texture on the rear handgrips not only adds aesthetic flair but also enhances grip stability. The ROG Ally X is designed with gamers in mind, featuring tasteful RGB accents around the joysticks that sync with Aura Sync-supported games, adding an immersive layer to the gaming experience. The device’s ergonomic enhancements and solid build quality ensure it feels great in hand, while still being compact enough to fit into a bag. Its redesigned Game Library interface, combined with dual front-firing Smart Amp speakers with Dolby Atmos and Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation, ensures both visual and audio excellence. The addition of ultra-fast Wi-Fi 6E connectivity further cements the Ally X’s status as a must-have for gamers who demand performance and portability.
