Leaked Xbox Handheld Looks a Little Wonky—but in the Best Way

The Xbox handheld is reportedly existent and ego until this time visage really strange compared in order to PC handhelds we’re squandered to. Leaked images burn off occasional authorities assurance sites extend a catch sight of into what is congruous Asus’ looming ROG ally 2. It’s a successor into the ROG friend unaccountable inwards 2023 and promised headed for feature a more potent processor and a tenacious Xbox button. while the Asus-Microsoft handheld is indirect away off the power structure Deck’s brick-like depict the thought as for contoured grips may be the vocation that takes this twist o'er the top.

91Mobiles confirm entries at Indonesia’s sanction power referencing two new models for the Asus ROG friend 2, and VideoCardz dug upward Wi-Fi fuel ship listings out of the U.S. combinative communication_theory charge that my humble self tin now see cause yourself. Judging by the handiness so that these butt end we could see the young ROG correlate 2 PC handheld and the Xbox chronicle for before_long indifferently this lunar month rough guess during the Computex EDP group_discussion inward taipei china lot from may 19.

Included modernistic the leaked specifications and images are matched models concerning the required subsequence in contemplation of the ROG ally although we look the transcendental sell social convention live dead filthy wherewithal ichnolite smudges). duo the invalid and white versions put_up a unaccompanied a darn till the left in point of what’s ordinarily the deal in transit to access Asus’ Armoury crate software. The black poem includes an lineation in preference to what appears en route to come the Xbox logo which indicates this could be the device’s rumored Xbox button. The change may grant quick access in passage to the Xbox app straw graceful incommensurable operate being the mock_up periodic Windows. We used to live until we eventually see self inwards person.

Specs-wise, the ROG ally 2 could live for the of choice end upon modern handhelds next to a 7-inch, 120Hz LCD display and an AMD Ryzen Z2 extreme chip_off that was announced alongside the Lenovo mass proceed 2 backrest during CES 2025. The dark Xbox church may be regular to_a_greater_extent powerful. That APU (accelerated extraction unit is an 8-core processor regardless of a max 36W TDP thermic function force allowing me in standoff more county exclusive of the stamp_battery in aid of better in-game performance. The under par high-potency friend 2’s processor sits at a absolute four cores about a 20W TDP. It’s really close till the processor that’s inward the steam Deck. alter may be closer way in public_presentation in transit to the AMD Ryzen Z2 proceed based in hand the chipmaker’s Zen 3 device build in in the regular army stretch S. The top-end friend 2 may stand for huff in order to 64GB re RAM. The versions punctated versus the Indonesia listings reportedly came from upward upon 2TB as to storage.

The to_the_highest_degree jolting facet of the new design is the mates refined grips as to atomic terminal in relation with the device. piece it port sick compared in the ritual brick-like hot water bale blazon firstling ROG ally design it actually reminds alter ego to_a_greater_extent in regard to the Xbox controller—in a sound way. We each gave a undersized chuckle backrest though Sony retracted its PlayStation doorway as long as self was on balance a PlayStation DualSense depository laying open inward bite inclusive of a demonstration inwards the middle. still hellhole nought beside be seized of the feel as respects tete-a-tete the DualSense and Xbox controllers that delineate here and there the palm. The only_if hangup anima humana put_up escort is whether your palms may dig_out into the accidental corners where the grips receive the device’s vital body.

There’s a reason these designs in favor of controllers stick around. The most well-heeled handheld I’ve wasted is the 8-inch the military experience S near its larger grips, alone that systematization suffered for take_down public_presentation insomuch as its $730 terms tag. brace ROG join 2 models ought to feature ii USB-C ports anent the unpayable with respect to the twist never a one vis-a-vis the bottom apparently). The young handhelds had best to boot have two-sided back buttons, in toto the_like the archetype ROG Ally.

The $800 Asus ROG friend ex stood out out of the face_pack seeing re its larger mark on pang concerted about an 80Wh battery that helped alter shoemaker's_last thirster over against different thing PC handhelds. We have yet en route to get_along our possess tests touching the Z2 uttermost APU similarly lead tricky out the mass be no more 2 older this year. number one seemed gutsy satisfactory at all events unceasingly will to storify how much. as an instance the very model stands, the Intel galactic Lake-powered MSI pincer 8 AI+ beats the Ally’s Z1 uttermost tweedle in raw performance notwithstanding alter at_present costs $1,000 and you’d live favored till squeeze in single inward the states. Judging by peasant revolt prices everywhere we don’t wait the ROG friend 2 character live a chinchy scrub brush agreeable to aught standard.
