Asus ROG Ally vs AyaNeo 2S reviews

Transcript

00:00 Hey guys, so previously we pitted the valve steam deck against the Asus ROG Ally.

00:05 Today we're going to compare the Asus ROG Ally against the new Ioneo 2S.

00:11 Design wise, both handhelds are fairly similar.

00:13 The main difference between the two when it comes to buttons is that the Asus ROG Ally

00:17 has two back buttons, whereas the Ioneo does not.

00:22 As for my personal preference, I'm going to go with the Ioneo.

00:25 When it comes to displays, they're not really much different as you can see from

00:28 our internal testing.

00:30 The main difference is that the Ally has a 1920x1080p screen, which is 16x9, whereas

00:36 the Ioneo 2S has a 16x10 screen.

00:40 When it comes to performance, you're going to get two of the most powerful gaming handhelds

00:44 out there.

00:44 When I was playing on the Asus ROG Ally, I found that I had to drop games to 720p in

00:50 order for the performance to be better.

00:52 The Ioneo, same deal.

00:54 You can change the TDP on it, but obviously that's going to impact the battery life,

00:59 so keep that in mind.

01:00 This system starts at $1139 and it goes higher for different configurations, whereas the

01:05 Asus ROG Ally tops out at $699.

01:08 But with that said, I still recommend the Steam Deck.

01:13 Not only is it cheaper, but the OS is just great.

01:16 It's just so easy to navigate, full compatibility with all your Steam games.

01:19 Once again, I was Tony Polanco, and I will see you around next time.

01:23 Later.
