A good gaming experience that packs a lot of prowess into a handheld package
The ROG Ally has been sculpted for ultimate comfort, and it delivers. The unit – despite being bigger than we’d anticipated – if comfortable to hold and feels natural in use. The handset comes in a matte white finish, with some gentle branding and styling on the edges and the back. Inside, a custom-designed AMD Ryzen processor handles both the CPU and GPU functionality. That’s a 4nm, 8-core chip, and it performs really well. AAA games are no problem, with smooth animation and faultless gameplay. On the front, there’s a 7-inch FHD panel, with a 120Hz refresh rate and 500 nits of peak brightness. It also features a 7ms response time, for rapid actions and button presses in game.
When it comes to what this device was made to do – play top-tier games – it really is fantastic. Calling it a console-level experience will sound inflated, but it really is on that level. We never once noticed a drop in frame rate, nor did we detect any noticeable lagging. Input lag is also pretty much non-existent, with button presses translating into action accurately and quickly.
It’s a really brilliant gaming experience, and it’s effortless to use
There are a couple of features on the ROG Ally that make it effortless to use. First is the Armoury Crate software, which can also be found on Asus’s range of phones, like the ROG Phone 7. Armoury Crat
