Since the advent of the handheld, with its small size and good portability, plus the advantage of being able to play a few games anytime, anywhere, it has always had a high popularity. With the addition of advanced process technology and advanced architecture design, it can also have a good performance release without the need for large power consumption. In this situation, handheld machines that can play PC game masterpieces have also begun to appear.
On June 13, ROG, which has always focused on game experience, also entered the handheld market for the first time, bringing us ROG handheld, as ROG's first handheld product, in terms of materials and design, you can see ROG's consideration of handheld form. For example, the energy-efficient custom AMD Ryzen™ processor, the weight of 608g, the newly designed Altron Intelligent Control Center SE, etc., the starting price of 4999 can also show the full sincerity of ROG. This product will also be officially released on June 14, is it worth buying? Let's take a look together.
As a handheld, its natural portability naturally cannot be broken. ROG handheld is still quite good in this area. The overall weight is controlled at 608g, and in order to fit the palm more closely when holding, special optimizations have been made in various details, such as non-slip texture, ergonomic design, curved edge processing, and so on. The button layout also uses the classic layout of Xbox, and the input of a variety of arrow keys is also a major feature of the ROG handheld, adapting to different types of games.
First of all, let's take a look at the stacking of ROG this handheld in terms of configuration, basic performance, ROG is also found AMD for customization, built-in AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, for handheld such high portability and integration products, AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor uses 4nm advanced technology to create a better energy efficiency ratio performance. At the same time, with the blessing of Zen 4 architecture, combined with RDNA 3 integrated graphics with good graphics rendering capabilities, ROG handheld can have a relatively good frame rate experience for most games.
In order to prevent the occurrence of frequency reduction and lag during the game, ROG handheld also built-in glacier cooling architecture handheld version, not only ultra-thin ice wing fins, optimized upright heat pipes and other hardware, but also active heat dissipation fan is also essential, considering the use of the handheld use scenario, ROG is also deliberately optimized the noise level of the fan, to achieve efficient heat dissipation at the same time, but also very quiet.
Of course, considering that each player has different needs for performance, ROG handheld can also be connected to its own ROG XG graphics card docking station, after accessing the RTX40 ray tracing graphics card with stronger graphics rendering capabilities, ROG handheld can have super graphics rendering capabilities, with DLSS 3 and other functions, in the case of 4K resolution, open 3A popular masterpieces, with keyboard, mouse and other peripherals, into a powerful portable PC in minutes.
With a strong configuration, the quality of the screen also directly determines the level of the game experience. The screen refresh rate of ROG handheld supports 60Hz/120HZ two variable refresh rates, the color gamut also covers 100% sRGB, the screen ratio is 16:9, the maximum brightness of 500nit and the addition of 10 points of touch, so that this screen can be competent in the face of most games, and there will be no smearing.
As a Windows handheld, the most important thing may be software. ROG has also worked closely with AMD, Microsoft and major game developers to support mainstream game platforms such as Steam, Epic, Xbox, and GOG Galaxy 2.0. Not only the PC platform, with the help of Tencent mobile game assistant, ROG handheld can also directly run some Android mobile games. It can be said that the most important thing about ROG handheld is the game, and I am afraid that players will not have time to play.
For the handheld, a special mobile device, ROG has also made a new optimization of the operation interface, such as the Altron Intelligent Control Center SE, which automatically integrates all games and displays them in a more intuitive tile way. ROG is also open to the function of custom adjustment buttons for players, making full use of the rich operation methods of ROG handheld, button shoulder button and trigger customization, vibration feedback adjustment, divine light synchronization, etc., can be defined by ourselves to meet everyone's different needs.
ROG this time the handheld market, undoubtedly injected vitality into the market, with the strong attraction of ROG in players, I believe that more and more players will pay attention to the game handheld. The new ROG handheld, this time after giving enough hardware, but also at a price such as 4999 is extremely non-ROG, I believe it is also to further popularize the handheld in the player group.
However, from the perspective of the entire product, although ROG is also the first time to do handheld, the degree of completion is also quite high, whether in the choice of hardware, or the construction of the game ecology, there are almost no big shortcomings. Once the player gets it, it can be used directly to play. At the same time, the addition of external hardware makes it both a playable gaming device and a powerful portable PC. Such a powerful handheld, will everyone consider it?
