ASUS ROG Ally X Specs Confirmed: 24GB LPDDR5X-7500, M.2-2280, and 80Wh Battery
The specs sheet of the upcoming ASUS ROG Ally X handheld game console was leaked to the web, confirming many of the rumors that have been doing rounds for the past month. The Ally X is a definite step up from the ROG Ally Extreme. It was originally rumored to be just a design revision that relocates the microSD card slot away from a thermal vent on the original design, which was causing memory cards to fail. The specs sheet confirms that the ROG Ally X features a larger M.2 drive bay with support for M.2-2280 drives. You'll be spoiled for choice picking a drive to go with this device. The drive included is 1 TB—double the 500 GB of the original ROG Ally.
Next up, there had been rumors of a significantly larger battery, but we didn't have an exact capacity figure, until now. It turns out, that the ROG Ally X packs a massive 80 Wh battery, which works toward a roughly 40% battery life improvement. While the CPU is the same Ryzen Z1 Extreme, ASUS improved the memory, which is now 24 GB LPDDR5X-7500, compared to 16 GB LPDDR5-6400 on the ROG Ally Extreme. This is a 50% increase in memory size, and 17% increase in memory bandwidth. Lastly, ASUS is introducing USB4 type-C, with integrated DisplayPort 1.4 and PD 3.0 output.

Larger battery is great as is fixed micro sd placement.
Of course there could actually be a more extensive internal redesign like the Steam Deck OLED had, we won't know until it's torn down.
ASUS puts out new laptop models very frequently, so this isn't too unusual to see an improved version of a first gen device within a year.
If you believe the hype in the media, very few of them.
Presumably there are some Ally owners here that have had zero issues?
Even if it's only 30% of Ally handhelds with cooked MicroSD slots, it's still recall material. I suspect it's higher than 30% but I haven't seen a poll yet.
7 month old and it was also a second hand (not sure how long the previous owner used it )
