Excitement is brewing in the gaming world as leaked photos of the highly-anticipated Asus ROG Ally 2 come to light! What's even more thrilling? There are two versions of this portable gaming powerhouse, and one boasts an exclusive Xbox button!
Just two months ago, we revealed that Microsoft was collaborating with Asus on an Xbox-branded handheld dubbed "Project Kennan," and it seems we’ve got our first look at it. This sleek black variant of the otherwise white ROG Ally 2 features a distinctive button adorned with the iconic Xbox logo, a striking detail absent from its white counterpart.
According to 91mobiles, these devices were discovered in Indonesian regulatory listings, and VideoCardz connected these findings to an FCC listing that displays the hardware in all its glory. This official documentation also teases some impressive specs! Expect to be wowed by a 7-inch, 120Hz LCD screen — mirroring the first-generation design — powered by a robust 8-core, 36W AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme CPU in the Xbox version, while the standard model gets a slightly less intimidating 4-core, 20W processor.
The design is getting a makeover too! The new models sport ergonomically molded grips on each edge as opposed to the blocky build of their predecessor. This means the device may feel bulkier, but players could enjoy a more comfortable and secure grip during those hours of intense gaming.
With certification underway, fans can expect the launch to happen sooner rather than later. Mark your calendars! Asus typically reveals new hardware at Computex, kicking off on May 20th, right after Microsoft’s Build conference on May 19th. Stay tuned, gamers — this handheld could change the game!
