Upgrading from original ROG Ally - ROG Xbox Ally X or Legion Go S8?
I’m looking for some advice from people who’ve used both handhelds. I currently have the original ROG Ally and am thinking about upgrading, but I’m torn between the ROG Xbox Ally X and the Legion Go S8 (120hz / 16gb version).
Main games I play are AAA titles like Call of Duty, and I definitely want something that will handle newer games well, especially the upcoming James Bond game. I also use Xbox Game Pass a lot, so good Game Pass support matters to me.
Things I care about most:
- Performance in AAA games
- Battery life
- Thermals/fan noise
- Comfort for longer sessions
- Screen quality/smoothness
- Future-proofing for upcoming games
For people who’ve used both:
- Which one would you choose and why?
- Is the Ally X enough of an upgrade over the original Ally to justify it?
- How much does the Legion Go’s bigger screen help for shooters?
- Any issues with Call of Duty specifically on either device?
Appreciate any real-world experiences or recommendations.
