Asus might be indirectly teasing the release of a new ROG Ally. For some time now, the original ROG Ally official product page has been referred to as “ROG Ally (2023)”, suggesting a new version of the console might be coming in 2024. With Computex just around the corner, official news on this shouldn’t be too far off.
While there may be a new ROG Ally on the way for 2024, reports suggest that it won’t be a full blown generational upgrade. According to VideoCardz, the primary purpose of the new model appears to be ironing out a few design issues with the original model.
One key focus of the tweaked model appears to be the SD Card reader. Users have faced problems with this on the original model, leading to frustrations while trying to expand the system’s storage. Asus is also expected to repair any original ROG Ally consoles that were affected by a bad SD card reader.
Although the new model would be a good chance to update the hardware inside, it seems that won’t be the case. The ROG Ally 2024 should continue to use the Ryzen Z1 and Z1 Extreme APUs.
