Ohoho, I have a lot of work to do. He didn't even make
the script, The video was also about to go live I have so much work to do and he also has to come today,
Let's see where is he now He called Brother, Where are you? You are out since the morning I have just arrived brother, Firstly there is a
lot of rain in your city so I am late Tell me when will you reach I am just outside your studio, Just coming. Why are you being like this? My life is running properly and I am not
able to go out from th
e studio How much work will you do?
Look at me and just roam out and enjoy life Look who is talking about hanging out, I gave you the
White Legion, Have you ever been out after that day? Today you just came here and now boasting about that Those days are gone and now I play games
anywhere without any laptop as well What have you got brother?
Although you have a lot of money Come let me show you Oh my god what is this This is Windows handheld gaming PC
All you setup one side and this on the othe
r side Really? Don't you believe me?
Take this and try Lollypop is over let me get another one As I showed in the Taiwan vlog that I will bring the
review of the ROG Ally on the channel, So we did it This is the Asus's first handheld gaming console that is launched
officially in India before this we reviewed Nintendo switch That is imported We reviewed steamdeck, Onexplayer, PS4, PS5 we review all
the consoles and this is the first official handheld console That too by Asus in search of incredib
le let's see what
incredible has Asus done and this is the extreme version Non extreme has not been launched in India and this
was launched some time ago in some countries Then it had a lot of software updates and here all the
software updates and everything has been sorted So, This is a stable review pon which you can rely So this is our box and on this our beautiful device is printed and we
have already opened this because flipkart does open box delivery But we have packed this again and here
is a user manual
for how to turn it on then we have this polyethene And in that we have our beautiful device and in this we
get this small box, There are user manuals inside this And here we get a 65W Type-C charger we have a power cord and this is
just like a laptop charger and the box experience is also like a laptop And I saw one thing more and they have given that here.
This is a stand they have made a stand with the egg tray material This is torn And this stand is just to keep it like this,
They should have given a plastic stand. How much money Asus would have saved by giving this stand
and here there is no screen guard and there is no carrying case That should have been there to stand out,
This is the first handheld device We get this type of device and here is ROGs
branding and in the first glance this has a sturdy built This is fully poly carbonate but it feels good while holding
and as we turn it on, ROG logo appears and RGBs glow And here we will get a logo and the sound
that
comes in ROG laptops And in the first glance, You can see the this is a complete windows
device and its weight is 610 grams so this is not that heavy As it looks to be This comes with a great build and low weight,
At the front we get some speakers Here is the ROG branding and its controller's layout is
similar to the Xbox because here is the D pad Above that the analog stick and a stick here and A, B, X, Y and
here we get 4 buttons, 2 of the controller and 2 extra buttons Through one, Armory cr
ate opens and through the other, The command center opens and there are a lot of on
the go features in the command center That I will show you later and at the back we get 2 extra
buttons and here is the ROG logo and this is the air intake vent And this is also an air intake vent and here we get the
exhaust vent, It has dual fan setup and here are all the ports And there is no ports below it And at the corners, There is ROG sign and if light falls
on it then it looks like RGB but there is no lig
ht here Same is on the other side as well and there is a strip at the
back as well, That feels like RGB but this is not an actual light This is just a glossy strip and now let's talk about the technical
specification, In this we get AMD Ryzen Z1 extreme APU That is AMD's custom APU designed for this and
we don't know in which device we wil get it And comparing this APU, Then it is like Ryzen 7 7840U
because all the technical specifications, TDP are same ANd even the performance is same, I will s
how you later and
this is based on ZEN 4 architecture and this is a 4 nm processor It has 8 cores 16 threads, 24 mb cache memory and this can
draw a minimum of 9W power and a maximum of 35 or 40W We will show you everything in the performance part
and here we get IGPU with AMD radeon graphics RDNA 3 And people are basically talking about 4 GB VRAM
basically this IGPU shares your RAM only And you can assign its VRAM in the armory
crate software from 2GB to 8 GGB The more VRAM you assign, The less
is the RAM consumption
so the performance comes out to be the same And I tested this, I will show you that later in the
performance part and in this we get 16 GB LPDDR5 RAM With 6400 Mhz clock speed in dual channel so the
performance is going to be really amazing And as this is LPDDR RAM so it is soldered and
you don't any upgrade options And acccording to this device, 16 GB is enough and here
we get 512 GB GEN 4 SSD that is of 2230 size This is a small SSD and you can see the read and write
sp
eeds on the screen that is not Actual GEN 4 speed It is more than GEN 3 but less than GEN 4 and in terms of
connectivity we have WiFi 6E and Bluetooth version 5.2 And ask we are talking about specifications so
you must see some performance scores For Cinebench R23, the multicore score
his approximately 14000 and 1768 Single core Then have a look at the Geekbench are almost
11000 multicore and approximately 2500 single core Then we tested PC mark 10 and the score was 6700
then you can see 3D mark
time spy scores In which obviously the GPU scores are not that much but
the CPU scores are better because this is an APU device And lastly, We have crossmark, You can pause
the video and see the results This will be useful for comparing Those who are regularly with my channel they might
have guessed the performance through the numbers The scores are similar to the i7 12700H or the
other competitive processors in CPU benchmarks Then I thought to do productivity First of all, We ran Photoshop, it
get connected with a
bigger screen so I connected with the monitor And I was easily able to create the
thumbnails smoothly on this Then I thought to increase a level and we started
doing video editing on this Firstly, We were doing 1080P level editing and there was no issue
in that then we did 4K 60 FPS project because we record in 4K 60 Then also it gave smooth experience upto a great extent,
Making cuts in the timeline, Placing B rolls, texts, effects or transitions, There is no issue in that
But there was issue in exporting time because
it doesn't have any dedicated GPU For example we have a 5 minute 4K 60 video, It gets
exported in 2-3 minutes in our dedicated GPU laptop But in this we have to wait for 10-15 minutes that are good if you
can edit your project smoothly then leave it and chill for some time But this can do 4K level video editing with ease, It has such
a powerful processor and as it handled these heavy tasks Then you can do day to day tasks, Multi tasking, We opened
a
lot of tabs, it has 16 GB RAM so there was no issue And if you are a college student and you want to get such
device then you can connect to a bigger screen for coding As this is really powerful and those who are thinking about
3D tasks, After effects, modeling, architecture, You can't do that On this solo device You can connect EGPU with this that is ROG's XG
mobile that I showed in the ROG flow video You can get it for Rs 80,000-1,50,000 in which 3070
3080Ti as well then 4000 series and AMD G
PUs as well They are not available in India easily because the selling rate is
less but they still gave it so that somebody will buy it with this So, Will you buy it with this ? After that you can do 3D modeling, architecture,
game development tasks on this The CPU is good so that it can handle the GPU
and bottlenecking can be avoided Rest, I will try to arrange XG mobile and connect it and use
it afterwards to show whether it can handle everything or not "Zehreele tech wale" We are testing it
from the last 2 days,
Not only me but my team members as well And I noticed one thing that is its in hand feel is
better than Steam deck and onexplayer Its ergonomics, Weight distribution, After gaming for
long hours it doesn't feel that you held a heavy item And in this we get vibrations as well which Asus has called HD
haptics and they are good, There are motors on the left and right side And if I define Haptics, It is not the same as a gaming controller they
are slightly compressed but they a
re good according to this device So, Firstly let's start with GTA V and here I have kept ultra
settings and you can see high, very high and ultra settings And this game is running on 1080P and on that
you can see we are getting 50 FPS on ultra settings In such a small handheld machinery and I have
connected wireless external keyboard and mouse And this device is running on wired mode and on that its
turbo goes upto 35W and I will tell you about that later Firstly, Watch the game test. Rest, On t
he top you can see the stats and you will see one thing there
are only GPU stats, No CPu stats because this is an APU based device And it has a single chip so the temperatures that
are displayed are the same for CPU as well as GPU Rest, Usage, clock speed, memory, wattage, everything
is on the screen. After that we tested Far cry 6 And we are testing this also on Ultra settings and as
this is a low powered device so I kept the FSR to quality And here also we are getting 40-50 FPS easily that are
playable and just remember that I am playing on ultra And on this small screen, Ultra doesn't matter
you will get the same graphics even on high settings So, I showed you the ultimate performance so
if you want you can get 60+ FPS as well As this is a 120 Hz display after that we tested Valorant and
we are testing this also on 1080P and graphics settings on high And rest, You can see all the settings on the screen and
I played valorant with its gamepad but this didn't work It only works with ke
yboard and mouse and just look at
the frame rate we are getting 130-140 FPS on high settings We are getting a 120 Hz display so you
enjoy it on a 120 Hz screen And if you want more FPS than this then you
can connect with a bigger monitor Just tweak the settings, IF you play on medium
or low then you may get 150+ or 200+ FPS After that we played spiderman on 1080P and FSR is set to quality
and the settings are on high and ray tracing was available But we didn't turn it on And here, We are easily
getting 40-50 FPS i.e. we are
getting playable FPS in all the games we have tested And that too on high, Very high and ultra settings
and behind good FPS there are 2 reasons Firstly, It has 16 GB DDR5 RAM and secondly its custom
APU, Due to them the performance is really good Then we are testing Goth of night on 1080P and we get FSR 2 support
in this that we kept on quality and the graphics preset is set to high And here also, We are getting 40-50 FPS easily on 1080P that
are playable. on such s
mall screen even 30-40 FPS are good This is still 40+ and rest we have different FSR modes and
different graphics settings, You can tweak it for more FPS And then we tested Red dead Redemption 2 on 1080P and the quality
level preset is set to balanced in which we get low-medium mixture And we get FSR 2 as well in RDR 2 but it was not
showing in our settings there was some glitch So we tested without FSR and here we got 40-50 FPS so think if
we use it on quality or balanced then you will get 60+
FPS On the setting at which we are playing and on
such settings the graphics are really good And the overall gameplay was playable and then we are testing
God of War on 1080P and we get FSR 2 we set it to quality And the graphics preset was set to original that are the
medium settings and here also we were getting 35-40 FPS That were playable according to handheld, rest you can tweak the
settings and get 60 FPS. You will have to sacrifice on graphics But that doesn't feel on such a small screen
then
I thought to put more pressure on this console And we tested Cyberpunk on ultra settings and with that I kept
the FSR to quality and we were getting ray tracing but i disabled The device may catch fire (joking) And on ultra settings this gave us 30 FPS and the device
was not plugged in we were directly playing through SSD And you can see the FPS here, We are getting 20-25 FPS
that are not playable so I tested it on steamdeck mode In which the settings become a mixture of high and medium
and
after that we got a jump up to 30-40 FPS that are playable According to a handheld console and just remember one
thing, We didn't use FSR on this steam deck mode Then we got 30+ FPS so we will get much better FPS if we use FSR
and before this game all the games were tested on charging That is on the highest mode,
the turbo limit was going up to 35W And now we will test it for different watt limits Firstly, We are testing Far Cry 6 and the settings are ultra and FSR
on quality and you can see th
e performance on 15W, 25W, 35W And the starting 2 are running on battery mode and I was surprised
that there was difference in 25W and 35W in CPU temperatures Because if more power is drawn then the temperature will rise and
after turbo it is going up to 42-43W so the CPU temp. is 95 degrees But there is no difference in the FPS so you can do gaming
on 25W power limit as well. Rest on 15W power limit There is no such difference, It is drawing up to 20W power
and in far cry 6 we are getting 40+ F
PS so you can play on 15W For better battery backup and then we tested RDR 2 and you can see
all the 3 power limits on this as well and we kept the same preset And here also, The difference is clear. There is no significant
FPS difference on 25W and 35W power limit Only 1-2 FPS difference is there but in this game in the 15W
limit, The FPS are low and we are getting approximately 30 FPS But on 15W limit as well, It is giving good performance rest, If you
play on 25W on charging you won't see an
y difference in gaming And then we tested GTA V and the preset was ultra that in
the main game test and here the results were surprising On all the 3 limits we were getting almost same FPS
on the same settings so it can vary game to game And the sweet spot is 25W but as soon as you put it on charging
then it will automatically shift to 35W that you cannot tweak And as I told you we can also insert SD card in this so we
did comparison in loading times in Far Cry 6 So, Through internal SSD it took
13 seconds to load
and through SD card it took 23 seconds So, Obviously read and write speed of SD card is
less so we will get higher loading times And we were comparing the FPS as well side by side but there
was no difference in the FPS so you can use SD card for gaming And after we did the same comparison in RDR 2 and
surprisingly there was no difference in the loading times And we also tested the FPS and the FPS were also
same on the SSD and SD card And I was showing VRAM in the Armory crate
in
which you can get different VRAMs Like 4GB, 8GB and auto so we did tests on auto, 8 GB
and 4 GB and you can see the difference The RAM consumption is reducing as the VRAM in increasing
because it shares the RAM and converts it into VRAM The 4GB variant was the most optimized because we also
tested a lot of other games that I can't show you in this video If you have a look at the FPS they are better in 4GB in auto it
has assigned 400mb VRAM and in 8 GB it has assigned 5 GB VRAM but there is n
o difference in the performance so all those who are
going to buy those can leave it at 4GB VRAM for best performance And to test this VRAM mode, we did 3D mark time spy 2
times, At first we assigned 4 GB VRAM and then 8 GB And you can see the CPU scores reduced and the GPU scores
were almost the same so the VRAM mode is kind of gimmick And as we can get display output through this, We tested
this on a bigger screen and this is also running on 1080P And the settings are very high that it picks
n
ormally but this doesn't haeve ultra So, You can easily get 80-90 FPS and you can do
desktop level 1080P gaming easily on this then I thought to push it more and I turned the settings to 1440P
and the settings were the same and I am still getting playable FPS I am getting 70+ FPS that means the device is powerful then
I thought to drain the remaining power and I tested it on 4K And the same very high-normal preset that was set already
and in 4K as well I was getting 40+ FPS and I didn't expect T
hat this device will perform so good in such low
power limit but it is performing like this in GTA V It will not perform the same in other games
I am just testing this game for demo And you saw the game test and thermals and on despite
being a small device it is maintaining under 90 thermals Sometimes it goes above 90 but mostly under 90 because
Asus says that they have given a zero gravity thermal system Zero gravity means you can play in any position it will
still be cool and there is one more
reason for cooling That in this we get dual fan setup that is not easily there in
handheld, In handheld mostly brands use single fan module And its thermal system is definitely better and as we are
talking about the fans so it has 2 fans so you might be thinking How much sound will it produce, It should not be like
we are playing in the blanket and it the sound is loud This is completely silent fan and I was telling about
the in hand feel, Its thermal system is on the top You can see the ROG lo
go and vents at the back side so it gets hot at
the macro buttons on the top and doesn't feel hot at all at bottom At the D pad and buttons, You won't feel the heat there and
talking about the software, This is a Windows based device So, You will get all the Windows features and you can use
it through touch, You can install any software like Discord And here we get a button through which the command
center opens and in that we get a lot of on the go features For example on the top we get perform
ance modes like on
charging it is showing 25W, it has control mode, game profile And you can toggle them here and with this button,
The armory crate opens and here all the games are shown Other than that, If you want to do steam deck activities in this
then you open steam and it will open like this on desktop mode Click on full screen mode and here you can see it will give
the same vibe as the steam deck, This is not a new feature You can do this on the desktop, PC as well but we
are talking abo
ut handheld so I am showing all this Rest, In the Armory crate we are getting settings and in that we
get a control mode in which you can customize the game pad In both the modes i.e. gamepad mode and desktop mode and
you do control mode on desktop mode then a cursor is displayed On the screen And the right click and left click become the triggers and if you keep
it on the game pad mode then it optimizes according to gaming So, Your cursor won't be shown here and in this as well
we get operating
modes and game visuals Like we get in the Asus laptops like different color
profiles and here we get lighting options We can change the lighting effects of these 2 analog sticks and
we can also apply a customized effect for example changing color So, The customization will happen on the go after that
we get connection settings in which we get WiFi, Bluetooth And here, We get audio settings and we get aura sync option here
if you have desktop PC and you want to sync light with device Then it wil
l be synced with that as well and these are command
center options that you can customize, remove and add by pressing + All these features we get here And if you enter the operating mode then you get
system stats like in the laptop, Eco assist for usage And GPU stats in which you can assign memory
that I was showing in the gaming part And at the end we get a content tab in which we
have media gallery user center update center, etc And we have gaming platforms as well and as this is Windows
handh
eld device so we get steam, Epic game, EA app, Ubisoft You can install everything that you can't
install in the steam deck And I was noticing one thing, Its task manager hides
automatically that was the by default settings Rest, You can also change this And in this we get the My Asus app as well that
you usually get in the Vivobook and in this app also We get a lot of customizations and the best part about this
app is all the software updates are shown at one place Then whether it is BIOS update
or the graphics driver
update and there is driver update issue with AMD And that is optimized with this app and according to my usage the
UI was optimized like if we search then on screen keyboard opens There is no such glitch. The things I felt in the onexplayer
were not there in this, Some issues were there Like once the graphics driver of the display vanished and the
brightness control and a lot of other features were vanished And after that it became normal automatically after updating
ther
e are some glitches but you will get updates in future Then it will become normal And as this is a windows machinery and you want to do office
tasks, then you can buy a small portable keyboard and trackpad Or you can connect a wireless keyboard or mouse and this
has a lot of gaming features. It has AMD RSR support That means radeon super resolution that upscales the game
running in lower resolution so you will get better image quality That means better FPS This is like DLSS but DLSS is at a prem
ium side,
AMD's is slightly weak but it works And here, we get AMD's radeon image sharpening that is RIS and
you can enable it through control center, It improves the visuals And it adds sharpness to that and the overall experience
is good, it is visible carefully but it has some impact And where will you do all this gaming,
Obviously on its display Although it can be connected to a bigger display
I will tell you about that later Its display is of 7 inches that is full touch 1080P display whose
color gamut is 100% sRGB so if you watch any OTT or movie So, This is good as this is of 7 inches. In our time,
tablets used to come in 7 inches So, You can watch good quality Youtube videos or OTT and as
I was telling this is full touch so it supports 10 point multi touch So, You can do multitouch and the touch is precise like a
touch laptop so you can use all the features on the go You can scroll social media or use Youtube then you can
use it on your finger tips and this is a handheld device
You can play it while holding in hand so if it drops by chance for that
it has Gorilla glass Victus protection and DXE coating by gorilla glass And as this is a touch display so it is glossy
so there would be reflection so the reflections are visible but that is not
like the proper glossy display A lot of reflections are cancelled out due to which
you don't see the lighting and other things And this comes with 120 Hz refresh rate, 7 ms response time
and with this we get AMD free sync premium due
to which Tearing decreases without even V sync and this comes
with 500 nits brightness so you can use it in indoors Even if you use in outdoors then with full brightness
then also the display is visible but this is a handheld device So it is not that powerful so you won't get much battery backup on
full brightness and the biggest drawback of its display are the bezels They are so thick, Firstly this is a 16:9 display,
16:10 display then the bezels would have been smaller the left and right ones
are not so thick but the
top and bottom bezels make it feel like a TV But talking about the ground reality, For some time you will
feel that the bezels but after you get into your game Then these bezels won't bother you but the device looks
so premium but then we look at the small display Then we become sad,
it should have been bigger (the display) As this is a handheld Windows device so we have
to talk about the ports and buttons Here we get a headphone/mic jack combo and after that
we get a m
icro SD card slot that supports UHS 2 SD cards UHS 2 micro SD cards are high speed SD cards
and they give a maximum of 150 mbps speed That is the speed of a hard drive so you can use
this is a hard drive expansion for the storage, etc Rest, This comes with SSD,
You can install games and play them And I showed you the difference in the SD card as well and then
we have a big PCIe port in which xg mobile will be inserted And then we have a USB 3.2 GEN 2 Type C port that supports
DP 1.4 and you can
get display output through this In which you can connect a hub and do a lot of connection in
the hub like you can see the keyboard, Mouse, and a display We have created an entire setup with this small type-C port and
here we get volume up/down buttons and this is a power button That is a physical finger print scanner as well so guys
our device comes with Windows hello support And this scanner opens it as soon as we touch it so this
is fast and in terms of drawbacks, one more thing is there That
are the ports and here we have only one Type-C port We reviewed the onexplayer and it had 2 Type-C ports,
1 Type-A port and I didn't expect this much from the ports Because it has a PCIe port as well. Only 2 Type-C ports were needed so
we would be able to charge and connect other item at the same time So, If you want to separate the ports extension then you
have to buy a hub like these big hubs or these small hubs We set this on steam deck docking station in which
all the ports were working afte
r connecting So, if you want to connect with PC then you have to buy
a docking station and let me play a speaker sample for you Comparing its speakers with laptop's speakers it
is like the Asus TUF or Nitro's sound They are loud and as they are top firing so during
gaming, You will get good sound experience And with these speakers we get Dolby
Atmos support and High res certification So, You will get high res support if you listen
to high res audio through any app And this is the mic test of thi
s device, All the sounds are being
recorded on this. We don't get the webcam but we get the mic We get 2 mics at the top so it will record through that so if you
are doing meeting then you can talk to the other person Other person will listen to this type of sound so
tell me in the comments how was it And in this small device we get a 40 Whr battery and
here the battery backup varies according to the usage Like if you watch multimedia so you will get 6-6.5 hours
backup in this in which you can s
et it to low TDP Then you can use multimedia apps or open youtube
in browser and you get good backup in that But when you do gaming, Brand says that it will give only
2 hours backup but brand didn't tell on which mode I played on the 15W mode and after 15, 25 comes and I played Evil vest
in which I kept screen brightness to 50%, I turned off the RGB of sticks And I was doing gaming on the speakers, there was no
headphone or TWS, Speakers consume slightly more power And I kept the display panel t
o 120 Hz and 1080P and in
that it gave 1 hour 40 mins to 1 hour 50 mins backup So you can get an idea that if you play on turbo mode, 25 W
power limit then you will get less than 1 hour backup That is okay, This is the same as laptop, 40 Whr
and windows, You might have understood As it has a 65W charger so you can charge it with a 65W
power bank as well, So if you are traveling for long Then you can buy a power bank, We have made a dedicated
video on such power banks you can watch that as well S
o this was the complete review of the Asus ROG Ally and this device
has launched at Rs 70,000 but we bought it using card offers And i got this for Rs 65,000 and this has been launched on Flipkart
and a lot of you might be having some questions regarding this That we will spend Rs 65,000 on this,
Shouldn't I buy a Windows laptop worth 65,000 In which we will get 3050, the processor won't be that
powerful but that machinery will perform better than this You are right And then we have other people
those who are saying console that in
Rs 65,000 I can buy a PS5 and a monitor and will create a setup Same is in the case of Xbox and you are right
there is no such issue because this machinery targets those
people who already have everything Like laptop, PC, Console and they want handheld because
they are traveling and they want to play games Those who have a lot of money, This targets those people. If you
are going to buy your first system and you have 60-70K budet And you are looking for a Wi
ndows system then this is not an option
for you this is when you are traveling and you want to play game So this is for rich kids and you can get better performing laptops
at the same price similarly if you just want to play games Then you can buy a console and you can create
an entire setup at this price point And that will perform way better than this device
and now comes this, That why is this so expensive Think it yourself that you are getting such a powerful gaming
performance in your hands
and this includes a lot of RnD And giving a Windows PC such a size, This is a 600 grams PC in which
you can play GTA V, God of War and spiderman, etc in hands 10 years ago we used to think that how can
we play such games in handheld consoles Then we just used to think but now that is possible so that's why it is
expensive plus you can not only do gaming but productivity as well on this I have given you all the examples and it has 120Hz
1080P touch dislpay so all those things are costly, This i
s value for money in its genre i.e. the handheld genre
like if we compare it with steam deck, that costs Rs 60,000 That is the 512 GB variant but this costs 65,000 and this
is way powerful than that, You can check that online Otherwise, I will make a dedicated video and we reviewed
a Windows handheld as well so this is better than that as well Onexplayer And this is better than that as well because this has a
120 Hz display and the APU in this is better than that That is giving good performance
and there is no use of
making comparison with that because this is of current generation But that one is of the last generation that has amd Ryzen
6000 so if I get the current generation then I can compare Rest, That was all for today's video, how did you like the device
and who among you is a rich kid who consider things like this And buy these for themselves, Let me know in the comments
section and if you have any query, suggestion or feedback You can write in the comments section and if you
are watching for the first time, then do subscribe I will see you in the next video,
till then, Bye Hey, Take the device back, My video is over
and now I will order it for myself Damn, It is out of stock. As I told you this is a great item
