ASUS ditched the proprietary XG Mobile port for dual USB-C on the 2024 refresh—one full USB4 at 40Gbps and one 10Gbps USB 3.2 for simultaneous charging and video output. The USB4 port supports standard Thunderbolt docks and eGPUs, unlocking compatibility the original couldn't offer. That combo gives real flexibility: charge while displaying to external monitors without dongles. Below is the complete port breakdown.
ASUS ROG Ally X gaming handheld featuring dual USB-C ports (one USB4, one USB 3.2 Gen 2), abandoning proprietary XG Mobile for standard connectivity. MicroSD card reader with UHS-II support and 3.5mm audio jack.
