ASUS ROG Ally 2 Specs Leak: New AMD Chips and Bigger Memory Confirmed – YugaTech Gaming

ASUS is gearing up to unveil its next-generation handheld, the ROG Ally 2, but ahead of its official announcement—likely at Computex 2025—leaks from regulatory filings have already revealed a lot. The upcoming device will come in two variants, and yes, there’s an Xbox-themed version, new design elements, and massive hardware upgrades.

Photos from the FCC and listings in Indonesia and Korea confirm that ASUS is working on two models: one black, and one white. The black model includes a dedicated Xbox button, hinting at deeper Xbox ecosystem integration, although full Xbox OS support remains speculative. This version appears to be aimed at users who want a Windows handheld with fast access to Xbox Game Pass or the Xbox app.

The new ROG Ally 2 sports a redesigned shell with larger rear grips, giving it a more ergonomic, console-like feel. Early impressions liken its new form factor to something between a GameCube controller and a pro gamepad. However, the screen bezels remain fairly thick, and there’s still no confirmation on whether the internal display technology has been improved—only that it remains a 7-inch 120Hz panel.

Internally, the black model, ROG Ally 2 RC73X1, is a powerhouse. It will be powered by AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme, featuring 8 cores and a 36W TDP, and will come equipped with a staggering 64GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM. This is one of the highest memory configurations ever seen in a handheld gaming device and signals ASUS’s intent to push the ROG Ally 2 into premium territory.

The white model, ROG Ally 2 RC73YA, uses a different chip: the AMD Aeirth Plus, which includes 4 cores and a 20W TDP. It’s positioned as a more efficient and possibly more affordable option, though its exact memory configuration is still TBC (to be confirmed).

Both models will feature dual USB Type-C ports, maintaining high compatibility with accessories like docks, external GPUs, and chargers. While there are no images showing the devices powered on, the physical design suggests a solid evolution over the first-gen Ally and Ally X.

With multiple certifications and growing buzz from leaks, it’s clear ASUS is nearly ready to debut the ROG Ally 2 officially—and from what we’ve seen so far, it’s shaping up to be a serious contender in the high-end handheld gaming space.
