Legion Go vs ROG Ally - Battery, Speed test, Portability and more... 

You got my hopes up 😭😭 but its all good 🙂

What was the mistake?

@@fonso003 editing mistake with the battery drain test. Battery % of Go jumped from 3% to 47%(video) while the timer keeps running, giving it extra 1.5 hours.

@@Limitbreak09 so it gets a while 5 extra mins? 😂

@@fonso003 Nope. Watch the video closely. It goes to about 1 hr 55 mins when its at 3%. Assuming it goes out even at 3%, that's an hour extra from the Ally. I'm not saying this test is a good indication for battery life in general because its just 1 game in 1 test. It needs further stress testing with similar battery life devices (A brand new Ally basically). Still almost 2 hrs on a AAA game is insane. I can't play for more than an hour on a handheld anyway.

It’s not that much longer. The battery is only 20% larger

@@crestofhonor2349you obviously didn’t watch the video.

@@504Rone The battery test is wrong though. I did watch it. He even said he was going to correct. The two devices were on entirely different power modes making the battery comparison pointless.

Heck yeah thanks!!!!! More vids coming soon

Thank you! I was gonna do that but I had spent 14 hours on it already and that would have taken me forever hahaha

If I'm having to read charts I better be getting paid for it. I can't stand the charts. All for info that will be outdated after a few updates too. 😫

Thank you!!! I decided to shy away from benchmarks since we have plenty of content already. Appreciate that comment

The battery life is not that long. If you have a look at the video, at 1h54, there's only 3% left. A magical trick and a second later, there's 47% left for the battery :D

​​@@CyberDopaminewhy you switch the legion go with more battery life in 12:09

It’s not that much longer when the Legion go only has a 20% larger battery which should be 20% longer runs for identical TDP in an ideal circumstance. ROG ally(25w) was in turbo while the legion go was in balanced mode(15w)

@@crestofhonor2349 It'll be less than 20% longer, as the Go has a larger screen so the overall system draw is going to be higher.

Best comment ever. Thanks for telling me this. Means a lot. I’ll keep it up

Hahahahahahaahahah this is the best comment ever

Great comment. I take that to heart. I want to fulfill my job of making this stuff easy for people who are not hardcore computer nerds. It’s ok not to be. So yes. I will do that

Subscribed to your channel right away! Also like your chilled voice and background music. It is a good contrast to the ever so "quick and exhausting world", if you understand what I mean.

Thank you for that!!! I appreciate you for acknowledging the laid back part.

You’re scaring me

I am glad I was able to give you some dopamine. Your profile pic slaps by the way. Jealous

open your eyes wider then, he lied during the battery test. The Ally is not on the same mode + the Legion suddenly got back to 40% battery when it was supposed to die.

It was an editing mistake not a lie

​@@CyberDopaminethanks!

Same here, I’ve been looking at so many factors to choose between the 2. The detachable controller which makes it easier to replace if get broken, ally’s burning up sd cards, but legion’s size making me think on which to choose. But that battery test looks really convincing for me.

If you travel and don’t play it at home ALL the time, get the ROG ally. But then again, even though the legion go is huge, it is still very possible to travel with and you will get used to it

Glad I made you happy

Working on it !!!!

Isn't performance like 25w? Balance is 15w and would make it a lot more comparable. If you did that it would be like 2 and a half for the Go Go and 1:30 for the Ally.

The go isn’t a handheld it’s too heavy

Thanks for the comment! Yes my ROG ally has destroyed a micro sd card and doesn’t work with any micro sd. I will be uploading a video where I talk about things other people don’t talk about on the legion go. So I’m excited to bring that to the table

@@CyberDopamine awesome man! Looking forward to it, I will subscribe for the next video👍

sd card*

@@LagiohX3 thanks for the correction🙈 In my mind, I wrote SD Card, but seems my subconscious is fixated on the term SSD.. I edited it now.

I keep checking over and over again, there were no unaware adjustments

fake simple

Probably different tdp. There's no way in hell that the llgo will archive 3 hours on baldurs gates lol unless he put a quiet mode 10w something like that.

There's more to the battery than just mah. First, TDPs aren't equivalent. So just because they say they're using the same TDP they may not. Second is components, screen power usage can vary incredibly wildly. Comparing two completely different panels just based on brightness, color levels, ect has nothing to do with power consumption. It's only comparable when you're increasing brightness in the same panel. Also battery composition can be different. That's why the new OLED Stream Deck gets double the battery life while only increasing mah capacity by 20%. So just because they use the same CPU/GPU doesn't mean they are the "same".

Id say give it some time, there’s a video by “taki udon” where many problems are shown like charging crashing and bugs

Sure but the go speakers will always suck it'll never have VRR or LFC and the button layout won't change the right stick will always be too close the the buttons 😂

No vrr is what’s stopping me from legion go

Do you want a bigger screen? Do you use a tablet as a phone?

No VRR is a big problem :/,you can see that baldurs gate 3 comparison clearly what VRR does

That just made my day thank you

I was thinking that same thing after post. Thanks for acknowledging that

Haha heck yeah

good ipad pro now run windows 11 jajajaja, shut up man!!!

Glad I helped!!!

I want a 304 product

Thanks for telling me this

No just a few shots. I mixed between iPhone and since I couldn’t tell the difference, I went ahead and returned the osmo.

@@CyberDopamine Probably 15 (Pro)? I only have a 14 and the Pocket 3. I stick with the Pocket. Isn't this thing amazing? (ok, the iPhone 15 as well ;)) Nobody needs anything else for making great YT videos these days..

@mikeh.4503 haha I had the 15 pro, returned it. So it’s just my 14 pro and it does the job super well. It is crazy today in age. The pocket was amazing while I had it.

Thanks! 😁

I apologize for that

Very interesting. I might want to bring that up on my next video

@@CyberDopamineIt's a very important feature if you also use it as a desktop PC. I wouldn't trust third party chargers as nearly all of them will keep charging after 100%. Those bricked many Switch'es while docked. I don't know if Rog Ally and Steam Deck supports "Charge & Terminate".

Heck yeah dude. Thaaaanx

Thank you so much!!!

They are the same .. same exact internals

@@loitersquadX faster ram, and if you consider the 1600p screen for everything except gaming, it’s great for windows and videos. Touchpad is also a bonus. And a sd card reader that works.

​@@loitersquadXOnly huge difference is the battery life (emphasis on huge)

Exactly!

Dang. I just changed the v ram

@@CyberDopamine be carful though, when I did change it and played a graphics intensive game, the charging stopped working and I had to turn it back to 3g. I bought a 100wt charger and now it works on 4g. I think they may need to update the firmware to help support 4g with the 65 wt charger.

@@CyberDopamine games run sooo much more smoother then the rog at 4g but the battery thing is concerning

I’ve changed it now. Luckily no battery issues yet!

Hahaha

Yes

ROG has the best fans in my opinion. and the ROG ally is much more stable than the legion GO

The rog ally runs cooler and quieter there was just a new video posted that the performance is way better on the ally than the legion go

Because the Ally has been out much longer so it’s had software updates. Can’t expect the Legion Go to be better in the first months of it being released

I believe it is software

It is because Lenovo went with a display and screen size that is pushing the Z1 Extreme APU harder than it should. They tried to go with faster LPDDR5 Ram to make up the difference. The problem is that it is still the Z1 Extreme APU clocked the same speed as the ROG Ally with the same GPU and CPU cores. No amount of software/firmware updates are going to make it run games at decent frame rates on its 2580x1600 8.8 16-10 screen better than the Ally on the 7 inch 1080p screen. That is just what it is. If Lenovo went with 1080p then it would have been the better choice. Only option for the go to run current tripple a games decently without the help of VRR and LFRC is to play at 800p and lock frame rates that help with the screens refresh rate to prevent screen tearing on games that frame rates spike and dip considerably. I think Asus got most of it right with the Ally with exception of the SD card placement and slower ram speed but everything else is amazing and I can play current tripple aaa games and not worry about frames as VRR does an amazing job with more demanding games

Thank you. I will be more careful next time

Wow is flawless if not better on go, but Spiderman was hands down a better experience on rog, especially when swinging around the city. Same 1080, very low settings.

Oh heck yeah my family are jewelers!

Everything stick

Stock *

Yeah for sure. Probably on my shorts page

peu etre non ?

Legion bro

Ally bro

Coward 🫵

Ally runs at 80-90 Celsius legion go is 70-80 at the same wattage.. I’d rather have a loud than a overheating device

Rog ally is probably quiet cause it’s busy frying the sd card

First: no need to write two useless comments 💀 Second: once I am searching for a good mobile device I want to get a quiet, light, good looking and a powerful device. I believe that a quiet device is a good device. If I were to buy a mobile device I would really care about it being quiet and the highest quality possible which ROG can provide with ease.

Keep the go!!!

@@CyberDopamine could you make a video of the controllers you can use with the go? Like compatibility

Max fans, keep in mind the mic was directly facing the fans output so it is a bit more dramatic
