Both models sport a 7-inch IPS display with 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring a high-quality visual experience for gamers.
With a redesigned look that includes chunky controller handles and a dedicated Xbox logo button, the ROG Xbox Ally aims to offer a comfortable and immersive gaming experience. Set to release later this year, the pricing details for the ROG Xbox Ally are yet to be announced, but expectations suggest a competitive range compared to other gaming handhelds in the market.
