Leaked Specs Hint at Dockable PlayStation 6 Handheld Outperforming Xbox Ally

Unverified documentation circulating online points to a new Sony portable, internally code-named “Canis,” that would form part of the forthcoming PlayStation 6 family. The material, said to come from chipmaker AMD, outlines a dockable handheld intended to compete directly with Nintendo’s Switch 2 and Microsoft’s forthcoming Asus-built Xbox Ally devices. According to the leak, the unit uses a custom AMD system-on-chip based on the future Zen 6 CPU and RDNA 5 GPU architectures. The chip is described as a monolithic die of roughly 135 mm² with four Zen 6c cores, two low-power Zen 6 cores and a 16-compute-unit graphics engine. Paired with a 192-bit LPDDR5X controller that can address up to 48 GB of memory, the handheld is said to run its GPU at about 1.20 GHz in portable mode and 1.65 GHz when docked, delivering performance comparable to or slightly above a base PlayStation 5. Pricing guidance in the documents suggests a launch range of US$400 to US$500, while mass production would begin in mid-2027. If the specifications hold, analysts say the device would comfortably outpace the Xbox ROG Ally X and threaten the Switch 2’s dominance in hybrid consoles. Sony has not commented on the reports, and the timeline indicates the company is still years away from any commercial debut.
