we've seen already how the rog ally with a similar (very similar) chip performs and here they bundle it with a higher resolution display @120Hz. What is the point of it if you can't drive this ? Just for winning on the specs ? maybe but then is nothing more than marketing and we don't even have the price yet

I also don't understand the phone comparison, this is a gaming handheld, very specific purpose compared to an all-rounder device. Please elaborate

I don't get the 'too high resolution' argument in 2024. The additional power consumption is negligible as has been pointed out by others. My 2013 Nexus 5 had a 1080p display.

I assume your use case is playing Triple AAA games. But there are others such as Indie games and emulation which both benefit from higher resolutions. Especially in emulation a higher resolution will allow you to do integer scaling for a greater number of systems etc.
