The video i was waiting for ! You better pin this 😂
😅
@BooredAtWork bro, the battery, the extra Ram, extra performance, and the easy access to all gaming services (Steam, Gamepass, PS, etc.) makes me pick the ROG AX. The steam deck Oled is great, but it sounds like it is under water. I'm Def getting and ROG AX
Had a SD the ROG is better if you want to be part of the PC master race
@@Momula101 definitely. I'm going with the upgraded ROG. It's better now
Sd is pc luinx was actually same as mac and windows not for gaming only @@Momula101
If you have money to spare and want the best performance on a handheld, more games compatibility and dont mind Windows then go Ally X. If you want a simple console like experience and want to spend a little less around $500-ish then go with the Steam Deck OLED. If you want better performance than the Steam deck but dont have $800 for the Ally X then the OG Ally is a great option and can be found for even cheaper than the Steam Deck OLED. If you want the cheapest option possible then you can find OG Steam Decks for super cheap as well. Please don't believe any of the fanboys here telling you one is completely better than the others because its all dependant on your use and preference. All of these devices have upsides and downsides that can be deal breakers depending on your situation.
Agree
Well said. They all have their place....except for the msi claw, that doesn't belong at all for 7-800usd. Those people are insane.
Oled has more games
Legion go has more games*
I just picked up a used rog ally z1 extreme for 185 on offer up in perfect condition these systems are cool but performance wise don’t spend full price but to get one for under 200 is a steal
Steam deck oled with the track pads and the 4 extra buttons at the back made it possible for me to play total war games.
Honestly, if they had put an OLED on the Ally X, I would prefer it over the steam deck. But as it stands, I'm an OLED snob so the steam deck it is for me.
I wonder what kind of an insane battery life a SD Oled would have with a 80whr battery.
14-15 hours max i guess.
As much as I think the SD is better, I'll be getting the Ally X since most of the games I play aren't even on Steam.
Same, steam os is too limited
Still a better experience than the nigntmare that is windows. No proper sleep support or proper gui for tvs or handheld use. Steam OS is limiting but still a better experience for gaming imo@raulespinoza8668
What makes the sd better
@@OMGdidyouJuStSeeDAT Nothing really. It performs pretty crap compared to the rest. The Ally X's battery life is often even twice as long. The SD is the cheapest one. Almost everyone that chooses the SD is doing for the money.
Steam Deck OLED 512GB FTW. 550€ vs 900€ here in Belgium. No brainer.
I have a steam deck arriving Wednesday. I hope I like it. I would have preferred a windows handheld simply because of most of the games I play, but I’ve been looking at work arounds, and hopefully I’ll be happy. The steam deck was more in my budget.
i own a steam deck for 2 years and finished really big games like elden ring, kingdom hearts 3 and final fantasy 7 remake on it. i'm sure you'll love it
I love my steam deck.
Steam deck is only steam, meaning it is 100x more optimized compared to a device that is all windows
I had a steam deck.. but gave it away to some kid.. couldn't play my favorite games competently.. COD, Destiny, WWE 2K, heavily modded Skyrim
@dirkwood4544 blame the devs for not implementing the anti cheat for Linux. Steam deck would work otherwise.
I had the steam deck while I did like the simplicity I seriously hate Linux and the max 15 watt. For the games I play I need more power and online access for them (multiplayer)
I wish you had done a side-by-side comparison instead of one after the other.
I'm pretty happy with my steam deck but will come down to a personal choice.
Brother you got a whole desktop in both your hands 😮.
GeForce NOW is actually a solid workaround for playing games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, or WoW with the ConsolePort addon on the Steam Deck OLED. The 7.4" screen with the touchpads gives you a decent experience, even if the Deck isn't as powerful as the ROG Ally. I mean, sure, the Ally is better in raw performance, but it’s also way more expensive. If you’re after top performance, yeah, the Ally is the way to go. But if you're on a budget or just want something with different features like a bigger OLED screen, touchpads, etc., the Steam Deck OLED is still a great choice. At the end of the day, it's all about what works for you and makes you happy. There are ways to enjoy games on the Deck, like using GeForce NOW for those heavier titles that might not run as well natively.
Camera focusing problems when you demo or hold the Ally X. Was it me or did the Cyberpunk gameplay on the Ally X seem too dark?
Steam deck OLED is nice but it is a little gimmicky sorry if you feel different about it is, which is OK nothing wrong with that you’re prerogative. I had both and I just had a person yesterday that’s willing to buy mine off me I told him no problem I like the rog Ally X better so I sold it to him for $600 he messaged me back and said he likes it but after an hour playing on my rog Ally X he then turned around, sold it and got a rog Ally X I did tell him I would’ve took it back and got his money back but he said it was ok people that complain are the problem not the system or me I thought that was really kool
lol good story bro…
This sounds like a ROG ally fan boy comment. They both have their purpose. The only thing that I hate about ROG is it just feels like a cheap piece of shit the shell of it feels super cheap, buttons feels way worse than the deck mine would stick like crazy. but that's just my opinion.
Ryu was kickin ur @$$ bro😅😅😅
I let him
If you like 2d game buy steam deck oled
If you like AAA 3D game buy rog ally x
Steam deck Oled : Battery + Steam OS (No need to install driver) + Oled - Can't Play online game that have anti cheat like apex legend, etc
Rog Ally X : Performance + Better battery on 3D game + Windows (Can play online game like Apex Legend, etc)
That's actually very helpful, thanks.
Just the simple fact that all these CZcamsrs can’t flat out say the Ally X is better, means it’s not worth $800 and better than OLED. I’ve watched every video. Either it’s a tie or they lean OLED.
The winner is the one who can install games from GOG
Some one who knows what they are talking about please have the patience to read this and clear it up thank you. Ok I have asked this question on CZcams and other people have asked similar questions,and no one seems to answer them. Ok on the Xbox HDR calibration app,if you press the four shoulder buttons at the same time it displays a read out of cd/m² or nits in the upper right corner. Mintml,maxfftml,and maxtml. I have the 77" Samsung S95C QD-OLED. I put the the mintml to 0.0000 because having an OLED can achieve true black "zero light",which is simple enough. Ok here is where my and others confusion starts. If you read the HGIG documentation they base the mintml,maxfftml,and maxtml on a 10% pixel window. Ok on the S95C that rtings tested in game mode the peak brightness in a 10% window is 1203 cd/m² the sustained window is 1189 cd/m² the MaxTML is the 10% window correct? Because of the HGIG guidlines? On the Xbox Calibration app it says to adjust the image until all the blocks are the same brightness if I adjust it to 1203 or 1189 cd/m² like what rtings says the blocks are not the same brightness.They are the same brightness when the MaxTML reads 2500 cd/m² which doesn't sound right. Next is MaxFFTML the FF stands for Full Frame which to me would mean a 100% pixel window the "base"luminence of the screen correct? On rtings it says for a 100% window sustained is 230 cd/m² and peak is 234 cd/m². Of course though if I put those numbers in the blocks are not the same brightness they are the same brightness when the MaxFFTML is 1650 cd/m². Gamingtech and Vincent with HDTVtest say to put both MaxTML and MaxFFTML to the same value wich makes no sense why would you put the base luminence to the same luminence as the "spectral highlights"? Which numbers to a go by,is it ok if the blocks are not the same brightness? Also what is the difference between Paper White and MaxFFTML are they both not "base/average" luminence of 100% of the screen? Also do I go by the "sustained" or the "peak" numbers on rtings. I want the most accurate and best settings possible.
I would go for the Ally. I used to have a steam deck and it just lacks the power for higher demanding games and emulation. Don't get me wrong though I absolutely loved my steam deck when I had it it's very good just needed a bit more power and compatibility.
nah steam deck is enough for emulation but if you play game like sekiro, elden ring then Rog Ally X is better
Steam deck is more then enough for emulation, and the Bench Marks didn't really impress me enough for the price to get a rog ally at the time. Basically Watt for watt on battery its very similar.
@@humanizedkun6488 it can do some PS3 and better switch, but it tops out there. I couldn't run a bunch of PS3 games like incan on my legion go and I couldn't run Xbox360 without dual booting
Ally wins sound quality and volume, smoother gameplay with 120hz screen, easy to buy at a local BestBuy and I can try it out 15 days. The Ally plays all games also.
The sound is not better lol. Some people even say the OG Ally has better sound than the X.. lmao
My decision is dependent on Xmas sales either the ally z1e or rg cube or OLED deck
If is between these theee I would not get the cube. It looks nice tho
@@OMGdidyouJuStSeeDAT the price is compelling I mostly play retro games and genshin impact but there is some odd ware like emu VR that id like to play sometimes
Emu VR has a desktop mode and robust graphics settings I've seen it run on steam deck so I'm leaning that way
The price is good, that is why I got the rg 556 but now I’m trying to sell. I play a lot of retro games but I want the options to play newer systems with ease and not worry about a game not working or having go deep in the settings.
@@OMGdidyouJuStSeeDAT true android emulation can be finicky. If you're into retro games look up emuvr and watch some videos on it. It's PC only but you don't need a vr headset to use it.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!!
Doesn’t the fact you can stream games to steam deck using your PC as power source destroy any complaints on strength of steam deck?
Wait you can what?
@@singergurl1807 you can stream games from PC to SD. You don’t have to download them on SD. Your PC does all the work.
I have done that for years and honestly, it was a big issue with the normal steam deck because of it's awful wifi connection. Furthermore, in most countries, you won't do that on the go due to mobile data limitations. But even then, here is the biggest issue with that. For it to work you either need a monitor that is turned on at all times, which you don't want to, if you have an OLED monitor or dummy plug that often doesn't work correctly with windows and messes up the settings. Both HDMI and DP emit these issues. Furthermore, very often, the streaming is buggy. If your game crashes or freezes, then good luck :) you're just stuck until you have access to your PC again.
@@LeegallyBliindLOL yea, it works fine for me, but i agree on the whole having to set it up. It would be amazing if you could just do it whenever and easily.
Rog Ally is the clear winner if money isn’t an issue, if you’re on a budget go for the steam deck it’s good enough for most games but I still wouldn’t put it over the switch.
the switch is so horribly bad it shouldn't even be considered. their tegra x1 was old even when it was released. awful performance.
Just emulate the switch games on steam deck. They run better emulated on steam deck then on the switch itself
You lost us at switch 😅
@@ralph4lyf most people that prefer the steam deck over the ally always say it’s because of its ease of use and customer support in order to justice the lack performance and my point is switch and Nintendo are still better if those are your determining factors. It’s gonna be really hard to justify buying the Steamdeck once the switch 2 comes out.
@@Niyololz not all switch games can be emulated and even less can actually play online.
Ally X for the upgrades, Steam deck for the community
You didn't mention their prices...
Oled 1 tb is 649.99$ and the ally X is 799.99$ in the us
@@IsThatYuriYou forgot the 550 version
@@antler00 Ally and Ally x are considered premium devices, so its only right to compare a Ally or Ally x to the full price steam deck oled with 1tb
@@fresco_dinero5155 The steam deck oled 550 and 650 are the same besides the storage and screen type.
@@fresco_dinero5155 its only fair to compare it to 550$ steam deck, because 1tb version is for extra storage
Had an ally after i owned a steamdeck lcd... Liked the power... Hated the experience of windows on handheld. Sold my ally and lcd steamdeck to get the oled steamdeck... Power isnt everything and if i really need to play a game that uses anticheat i can always use geforce now.
Unfair comparison on focus for Rog Ally X during Cyberpunk game play
Oddly all the videos I've seen...just watching you play some gameplay just straight up while holding each console in your hands was an eye opener for me. The ROG is too small, screen isn't nice enough, and the gameplay shown didn't impress me enough as it was running to show me that Asus has truly come up with something more special than the deck. It may be "stronger" and "last longer" but for a product at a higher price point it shouldn't be comparable in my eyes. One should offer exceptional quality over the other or were splitting hairs for diamonds in my opinion.
Ally X ofcourse. I own more games outside of Steam that just Steam. Would make no sense to get a Steam Deck in my case.
Buy the Asus ROG Ally X if: you have PC games across multiple libraries, you’re used to tinkering, can forgive the messiness of the OS in the face of increased performance and power efficiency, and want a VRR display.
Buy the Steam Deck OLED if: you just want an easy-to-use handheld with a great screen, plenty of games, and an incredibly simple UI. You can go more intricate with tweaks to make it better for you with the Linux desktop mode, but to play this system, you never need to interact with this side of things.
Reliable customer support and RMA processing are paramount. Steam delivers with this. Just watch all the tech influencers with millions of followers denigrate Asus for their extremely shady practices when you send something back under warranty. Personally I will never buy any product from them again.
they lost me at the xbox thumb layout
Getting Steamdeck just for the symmetrical sticks. Pretty tired of all these handhelds with asymmetrical.
i'm always surprised that people don't mention this as a con of the ally. it also doesn't help that there are no trackpads on the ally since it's running windows; which is a huge oversight in my opinion
For sure couldn’t agree more. Also the new scuff Nomad is symmetrical like PS Dual Shocks are.
F*ck symmetrical sticks. playstation controller layout is for baby hands.
I’d go the SD OLED!😊
man the OLED... needs to be adopted by all.....
wish to rog x had it..... rog X performance is nuts and crazy long battery.... clear winner
I would argue VRR is something that needs to be adopted by all specially for gaming devices. Not OLED.
VRR
The only reason the ally x isn’t Oled is because no company is manufacturing small Oled displays with with vrr. Once it happens then it will be old. But the lcd in in the ally is a nice high end panel and looks fantastic. Plus no burn in scare if you are worried about that.
Honestly I'll take vrr over OLED with handhelds. OLED is awesome but VRR is needed more. When I want both I just game on my PC
Ally X shillouette looks like deck
The comparison offends me lol RX is a monster of a handheld compared to poor SD can’t even play many games
That shitty small screen on ally is a deal breaker through
skip the Ally x and get the oled. far better investment.
I want a steam deck oled so I can specifically play Dragon ball sparking zero on release.
It's just cheaper. And you get what you pay for. The Ally X is better in every aspect.
Not really but keep telling yourself that.
@@twotonerebel2022ally x is shit
Steam deck is good but it's 15 watt :(
It's supposed to be a handheld not a laptop though.
Literally everyone and their dog was sent ally x for "review" and every single one of these videos is the exact same thing.
Welcome to the modern internet - marketing everywhere
@@jayhub24 it's almost impossible to find an actual "review", it's all just paid sponsorships
You can see his left hand thumbs freedom on the d pad of the asus is way better than how awkward it looks on the steam.
I hate ally x/ xbox series thumb sticks
Ally X and Steam Deck aren't in the same league. Ally X is more powerful and does more.
software and customer support is awful on the ally x and the experience outside of raw performance is just better on the steam deck in nearly every way.
@@twotonerebel2022 I like raw performance. I'm a gamer.
@VeegovonDOOM laptop is a far better buy per dollar then
@VeegovonDOOM also the ally x has no TouchPads. The steamdeck does. The ally x is useless without touch pads lol. I prefer gaming so I'd like to have more inputs for games like 4x, strategy, visual novels, mmos, and literally anything else.
Paying 800$ for a handheld is not worth it!!!!!!!
Paying $500+ for a gaming only device isnt worth it either. I wuldnt pay anything over $200 for SD performance and that too I feel I am being generous with.
@@bm-cy7ek In other words, don’t play games lmao
@@Jykesonville Why not? Plenty of ways you can enjoy games than buy a overpriced SD.
@@bm-cy7ek please get a handheld with SD performance and features for 200 dollars. lol
Paying 543$ to have issue with sticky button is not that good either
RIP Android handhelds and taking Android seriously as a gaming platform ever again. Handheld PC's are the future of portable gaming.
Your channel's community was heavily built up on Android fans for the past 10+ years, but Android will never have real AAA games, just garbage shovelware and mobile gacha.
I have a shitty experience with asus products never again.
Sama all asus devices I've had have mostly broken after the warranty
OLED is so over rated, I high refresh LED is better, and MINI LED, Nano IPS are just better for gaming, I got the LG c1 and returned it 2 days later because having every single thing in the house reflecting off it was stupid and it was just to dark, I like my games bright and colorful.
Where is better time to play on battery? In steam deck or rog ally x
rog ally x
@@Forgeter-L wrong. sort of. anything under the max tdp 15 watts is better on the steam deck. the steam decks apu is far better at efficiency than any other handheld.
@@twotonerebel2022what does that mean?
@user-lv3hc8vk2o Exactly what I said. Under 15 watts especially the 8 watt range the steam deck is far better in terms of performance sometimes double the fps. This is due to valves optimization of the custom rdna 2 chip made for the deck.
👍🏾👍🏾
Skip the ROG and do yourself a favor by picking up the SD.
I had a sd. The battery life is great. But I bought it for ps3 emulation. It leaves a lot to be desired in graphics and performance.
it's time for a steam deck 2
Fanboy. If only steam deck can do more than 15 watt , good PS3 emulation, and valve releasing windows drivers for oled
Can you do full battery life comparison including low tdp like 2d and emulation? I heard steam deck OLED gets more battery with lower tdp but allyx can only go as low as 10 watt tdp
@@IHaveBadWiFiBro 😂 no it’s not.
You play cyberpunk with Japanese sub ewww 😂
If the RAX had an OLED screen and was $600 then i woudp selly Steal Deck Oled but at $800 and no OLED..yeah not worth it. For now the SDO remains the the #1 for hamdheld pc gaming
Ally X all day, steam deck is too large, too incompatible, and processor is too weak.
Steam deck has far better software support, better controls, sleep mode, steamOS and actual support. wouldn't touch the ally x with a ten foot pole especially with how horrible windows is.
@@twotonerebel2022 I wouldn't say far better software support, valve is really good about updates, but surprisingly so has the ally since launch. Sleep mode is the one definite upside to the deck, but you can just install steamOS on an ally/other windows device and reap the same benefits, plus have nearly 2x the performance. Also windows isnt this spooky badman, nearly every PC gamer on the planet uses windows, and is just fine.
@@twotonerebel2022 Steam deck have issue with sticky button
Ally X❤
@@twotonerebel2022 😂😂😂😂stop gaslighting stuff
Ally x had design looks exit in 2017 and lcd screen used in 2010 galaxy s1 super lcd HD or maybe worse even the only good thing on lcd it's longer age than oled in burn 🔥 screen but worse than oled in light with colors I don't care about seeing games running at 120ghz, even if steam oled was 60ghz it will not huge different in Nintendo switch size PC even though you can modd steam lcd into 75ghz and oled to 120ghz but this not safe and it's can destroy the device about the bettery life in allyx it's actually the same as sd oled long and bit longer in less than helf hour so not a big deal, if ally x had 7.4 screen it will make sense now I feel it's just ally z1 just with bigger bettery life and ram
Steam deck tras you cant even play aaa games
And you can't even spell, but you're doing it anyway. See?
I returned my Steam Deck oled because it was to much all I wanted to do is turn it on and play hopefully the Rog Ally do it for me, butttttt begin more then PS5 I’m good for now
What did you have trouble with? Because for me I just turn it on and play
Idk understand this at all I have the legion and the steam deck and the deck is just as easy to use as a ps5 tbh
Negative IQ
Good luck trying to plug and play with a windows device 😂 steam deck is truly plug and play unless you open the desktop mode. The Ally is literally a computer with windows installed, probably doesn’t even come with steam installed… smh
Steam deck is literally the turn it on and play machine...
