ROG Ally 2 leak seemingly confirms a long-rumored improve, if you realize the place to look

Asus has been rumored to be engaged on an ROG Ally 2 for a number of months now. Not a lot has appeared concerning the upcoming handheld past the truth that it is anticipated to function a brand new, extra highly effective chip and that

Xbox will be integrated into the device
not directly. Nonetheless, because of an FCC submitting (through @94G8LA, VideoCardz), we now know what the upcoming handheld will doubtless seem like.

The FCC leak consists of two fashions — one with a white physique that is doubtless the ROG Ally 2 and a black mannequin that is doubtless Xbox’s and Asus’ “Challenge Kennan.”

The black mannequin options what appears like a devoted Xbox button on the higher left aspect of the hand held (in the event you look carefully, you possibly can see the Xbox emblem engraved on it). However, the white mannequin contains a blacked-out Xbox button and the identical general button format as its black-colored counterpart (it is unclear what this button will do). The Y, X, A, and B buttons are in Xbox’s notable yellow, blue, inexperienced, and purple colours, nevertheless. The highest of the console contains a comparable button format to the ROG Ally and ROG Ally X.

Xbox Sport Go Final has given me a degree of cost-effective gaming freedom I did not anticipate.

The brand new controller-like grips look far more comfy

Key spec updates embrace a quicker chip

What’s distinctive concerning the design is that the ROG Ally 2 seems to function controller-like grips on its aspect. It offers the hand held a considerably odd-looking profile, however it’s a sensible transfer on Asus’ half. Certainly one of my key points with the ROG Ally and ROG Ally X are the handhelds’ lack of grip (my palms simply do not wrap across the edges of the hand held in a snug means). If that is the ROG Ally 2’s remaining design, that doubtless will not be a problem because of the brand new handles on its sides.

The submitting reveals that each handhelds function a 7-inch 120Hz display screen that appears similar to the show in its predecessor, with 64GB LPDDR5X-8533 RAM being confirmed for the black Xbox Mannequin. The Xbox model of the ROG Ally 2 appears to function a quicker 8-core Ryzen Z2 Excessive, in comparison with the usual 4-core AMD Aeirth Plus. The RAM featured within the white model of the ROG Ally 2 is not presently recognized.

Whereas it is attainable Microsoft might unveil the Xbox-powered ROG Ally 2 at Construct later this month, it may also seem at Computex on Could twentieth. The tech big additionally has an Xbox Video games Showcase deliberate for June 8. Both means, it is doubtless we’ll be taught extra concerning the ROG Ally 2 quickly given FCC filings usually point out a tool’s launch is just a few months away. It is unclear when both handheld will launch.
