When the ASUS ROG Ally was announced in April last year, our experience with it was a mixed bag. Fast forward a year later and the latest rumours suggest that the Taiwanese PC maker is releasing a new version of the console. Sort of.
According to information obtained by the popular leakster site, Videocardz, the rumourmongers are supposedly expecting ASUS to release an ROG Ally 2024. Note the year being mentioned, because the components maker has also started referring to the current model as the 2023 version.
There isn’t a whole lot of information to ride on regarding this 2024 version of the Ally, but it is being speculated that the new version of the console is merely going to be an updated model. Basically, minor tweaks here and there, along with one or two quality-of-life changes to the handheld.
One hope with the updated Ally is that ASUS will have finally addressed the crippling SDCard issue that plagues the current version of the gaming console and still remains unfixed till this day. To be fair, this looks like a physical and engineering flaw and isn’t something the company can easily fix with a software update at this point.
MicroSD card is in, but does not appear on the console.
There is also the expectation that the Ally 2024 version will be rocking AMD’s new Strix Point APU that’s made with the new Zen5 and RDNA3.5 architectures. But as mentioned, this seems unlikely; ASUS will likely reserve that power for a possible Ally 2, which may even be rocking a Ryzen Z2 APU. Of course, that name is merely a guess at this point, seeing how the red chipmaker hasn’t made any sort of announcement about it.
To that end, it looks like we’ll just have to wait until Computex this June.
