ASUS ROG Ally X Gaming handheld with 80Wh battery, and 24GB memory to launch in China on July 13

The ASUS ROG Ally X handheld gaming console will launch in China on July 13. This was revealed by an official statement by ASUS of its upcoming product launch event. The ROG Ally X was unveiled for the global market in June, equipped with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU with an impressive 80Wh battery capacity. The gaming handheld comes with several improvements above its predecessor. It has a memory capacity of 24GB and its solid-state drive slot is the M.2 2280 model.

The ASUS ROG Handheld X was announced last month and is a successor to the first-generation ASUS ROG Handheld. It has a doubled battery capacity over its predecessor while the hard drive capacity is doubled to 1TB from its first iteration. The memory was also upgraded to 24GB LPDDR5X-7500. The new ASUS handheld game console has a joystick module with an upgraded lifetime of 5 million times from the original 2 million times. The spring feel is a bit tighter and can be easily replaced. The D-Pad cross-key design provides greater feedback clarity unlike previously.

The ASUS ROG Handheld X features two Type-C interfaces on the top (replacing the XG Mobile graphics card in the original model). One of the USB-C ports supports USB4 while the other is rated USB 3.2 Gen 2. Both USB-C interfaces support PD 3.0 charging and DisplayPort 1.4 connection support. The ROG Handheld X has an upgraded zero-gravity cooling system that achieves up to 30W of heat dissipation capacity. The fan size of the heat dissipation system is reduced while the air volume is increased. The ASUS ROG Handheld X gaming console is priced at $799.
