Today, we're going to compare the Ally X and the OG Ally in a detailed review. I've spent over a week with the Ally X, comparing it to the OG launch Ally and there are significant differences in battery life, gaming performance, and overall feel of the device. Let's dive in and check out this comparison.
First, let's look at the specs and pricing. The Ally X has double the battery capacity at 80 watt-hours, double the storage with 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, and 24GB of DDR5X RAM at 7500 speed. It also features more comfortable grips, improved tactile buttons, and louder speakers. The price difference between the two is $865, which we'll discuss later.
Next, let's talk about the build, comfort, and feel of the devices. The Ally X is slightly heavier due to the larger battery but features more rounded corners and better ergonomics. The improved buttons, triggers, and tighter joysticks make for a more comfortable gaming experience compared to the OG Ally.
Now, let's compare the screens. The Ally X's screen is noticeably better than the OG Ally's, offering a brighter and more vibrant display, making a significant difference in visual quality.
Moving on to the speakers, the Ally X boasts louder and fuller sound compared to the already impressive speakers of the OG Ally.
Battery life has seen a significant improvement as well, with the Ally X lasting longer during gaming sessions, reducing battery anxiety for handheld gamers.
When it comes to gaming performance, the Ally X shines with its upgraded RAM speed, delivering smoother gaming experiences in titles like Starfield, Cyberpunk, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Forza Horizon 5. The improved cooling also contributes to better overall performance.
In conclusion, the Ally X is a solid refresh from Asus, offering improved features and performance. Although the price is higher than the OG Ally, the enhancements in RAM, storage, and overall experience make it a compelling option for gamers.
I've also had the chance to test the JSAUX dock for the Ally X, and it provides a convenient and versatile docking solution for the device.
Overall, the Ali X has won me over with its impressive gaming experience and enhancements. It's a great option for gaming on the go, and I can't wait to see what the next generation of handhelds will bring from Asus and other manufacturers.
