Earlier this month in an ROG Pulse video, Asus announced that the upcoming Asus ROG Ally X will be launched on June 2<\/a> and that date is almost here (it\u2019s this Sunday). The company will be livestreaming the event on YouTube and Twitch and in a tweet posted today it shared a link to the YouTube stream (which we\u2019ve embedded at the bottom).<\/p>\n The tweet also featured this teaser image of the device:<\/p>\n There isn\u2019t much to see \u2013 because the image is too dark and because this isn\u2019t the Ally 2, it\u2019s more of a version 1.5. The new model is expected to upgrade things like the storage<\/a> by adding a 1TB version with a larger M.2 2280 SSD instead of the tiny 2230 SSD (which has a 512GB capacity). The larger form factor makes upgrades easier as while 1TB and even 2TB 2230 drives do exist, they cost more than a 2280 of the same capacity.<\/p>\n Other expected changes are a bigger battery for longer play sessions and a new USB-C port, which could enable the console to connect to more traditional external GPU enclosures. The current Ally has a USB 3.2 Gen 2\/DisplayPort 1.4 port, but it relies on the proprietary ROG XG port for external GPUs.<\/p>\n Upgrades that we don\u2019t expect to see are a new display (Asus will probably stick with the same 7\u201d 120Hz LCD) or a new APU (Ryzen Z1 Extreme is it). Those are things that will have to wait for the Asus ROG Ally 2.<\/p>\n Here is the YouTube livestream, the event starts on June 2 at 8:30am UTC.<\/p>\n![\"Asus](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/05\/asus-rog-ally-x-june-2-livestream\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/)
