It all depends on your power brick. Here in Europe it doesn’t fit because of the prong format.

Ask a friend with a better phone with a macro mode ?

Whaooo clever idea !

Don’t buy the Rog Ally it’s not a reliable device. Nor even a decent handheld for gaming. Everything seems nice on the specs sheet but nothing is actually ok when you really try to use it. I got one and sent it back after 4 days of constant issues. My husband had one too and sent it back too. In my usual shop they sold only 15 Ally. And 14 were returned (including our 2 Ally).

Depending on the regulations in your country you can return any ordered device in a short time after having it delivered. Defective or not, you just have to say you are not happy with the product.

In Europe we have 14 days.

If you are in such a country don’t listen to Valve support and send it back ASAP. Because after the legal return window, they can refuse it and say bullshit like 1 dead pixel is not a defect.

I tried very hard on the Ally. Bought it and used it 4 days before returning it. These 4 days were a pure waste of time.

• Setting, updating, everything was long and annoying. About 6h continuous work to get the device properly updated and ready to use.

• For the games I wanted to play (Witcher 3, Assassin’s creed Origin & Odyssey) I had to set the Ally at its highest TDP to get better results than my Steam Deck. Witcher 3 is perfect on the Deck at a 9w TDP and gives me about 3h battery life. On the Ally I had to use the 25w profile to get slightly better graphics (partially because running in 720p didn’t give a good picture on the too high definition screen on the Ally). And then I only got 45mn at best of battery life.

• The fan on the Ally was considerably lounder than on my Steam Deck.

• Armory crate is unstable and unusable.

Finally I have the feeling that the Steam Deck has been designed by gamers for gamers and the Ally was designed by people who don’t game at all. A console is not only a specs sheet. For my use case the Ally is a complete failure except for is nicer look.
