The gaming scene just got a little more exciting as OneXPlayer has rolled out its latest innovation—the X1 Pro. This device steps into the limelight boasting a versatile 3-in-1 form that’s powered by AMD’s cutting-edge Strix Point APUs. Following in the footsteps of the F1 Pro and Ayaneo 3, the X1 Pro takes its place among the first handheld devices to harness AMD’s Zen 5 technology, setting the stage to rival GPD’s upcoming Pocket 4 mini-laptops.
So, what’s the deal with the OneXPlayer X1 Pro? Well, this gadget marries the functionality of a laptop, a tablet, and a handheld in a seamless combo. Alongside the Pocket 4, it sports the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, packing in an impressive 12 cores arranged in a dual-CCX layout with a mix of Zen 5 and Zen5c architecture. This powerhouse setup is bundled with 12MB of L2 cache and 24MB L3 cache, hitting boost speeds of 5.1 GHz. On the graphics side, the iGPU features the Radeon 890M with 16 Compute Units to give gamers that sought-after visual punch. Plus, with the AMD XDNA 2, the NPU in the HX 370 delivers a whopping 50 TOPS of AI prowess.
Getting into visuals, the X1 Pro impresses with a 10.95-inch 120 Hz LTPS panel, likely an IPS, providing a stunning 2560×1600 (2.5K) resolution. Colors pop with virtually 138% of the sRGB spectrum covered, and the brightness hits an eye-catching 540 nits. For storage buffs, there’s plenty to cheer about with capacity options ranging from 1TB to a whopping 4TB. Speed? We’re talking read speeds up to 7.1 GB/s and write speeds hitting 6.5 GB/s. Oh, and they’ve thoughtfully added a MicroSD card slot for additional storage needs.
OneXPlayer is keeping things enticing with presale deals. Here’s what’s on offer: snag an HX 370 + 1TB Storage + 32GB RAM for $1,399 during presale, before it bumps up to the $1,599 retail price. Other configurations go up to the HX 370 with a massive 4TB storage and 64GB RAM at $1,799 presale, which will climb to $1,999 later.
Now, for battery life, the X1 Pro gives you 65.02Wh, projecting around eight hours from a full charge. Of course, real-world use will vary, and cranked to 28W, you might get closer to two hours. But no worries—they include a 100W Gallium Nitride charger to keep you powered up. On the connectivity front, you’ve got Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 keeping you connected.
Extra features include hall-effect RGB joysticks to help prevent the dreaded stick drift. Ports and slots? Expect two USB 4.0, an OCuLink, a MicroSD card slot, a USB 3.2 Type-A, and a 3.5mm audio jack to cover all your I/O needs.
