Asus plans to launch worthy opponent to Valve\u2019s Steam Deck AsusAsus officially revealed its handheld gaming device \u2013 ROG Ally.

However, Valve introduced the Steam Deck for users to play various Microsoft Windows titles. The console comes in three models with various internal storage options at different price points. While several devices are a great alternative to the Steam Deck, the available choices are slim. With Asus\u2019s ROG Ally\u2019s upcoming release, the device might prove a formidable competitor to Valve\u2019s handheld gaming PC. How does the Asus ROG Ally compare to the Steam Deck?

While details about ROG Ally\u2019s specs remain scarce, Asus claimed the device has \u201cthe fastest AMD APU yet,\u201d roughly twice as powerful as the Steam Deck. Regarding other improvements, the ROG Ally has a 7-inch display with 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. However, Asus didn\u2019t disclose the ROG Ally\u2019s battery life and expected price tag.
