OneXPlayer has thrown its hat in the ring with its latest release, the X1 Pro, a versatile 3-in-1 device powered by AMD’s innovative Strix Point APUs. Hot on the heels of the F1 Pro and the Ayaneo 3, the X1 Pro emerges as a frontrunner among the first handhelds to boast AMD’s cutting-edge Zen 5 Strix Point APUs, putting up a strong fight against GPD’s upcoming Pocket 4 mini laptops.
What’s truly intriguing about the OneXPlayer X1 Pro is its adaptable design; it effortlessly transforms between a laptop, tablet, and handheld gaming device. In a nod to its competitor, the Pocket 4, the X1 Pro features the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, packing a punch with 12 cores (a mix of four Zen 5 and eight Zen5c) within a dual-CCX configuration, backed by 12MB of L2 cache and a whopping 24MB of L3 cache, reaching boost speeds of 5.1 GHz. On the graphics front, it sports the Radeon 890M with 16 Compute Units (CUs), while the AMD XDNA 2-powered NPU can churn out an impressive 50 TOPS of AI performance.
The display is a showstopper—spanning 10.95 inches with a 120 Hz LTPS panel, which likely utilizes IPS technology, offering a crisp 2560×1600 (2.5K) resolution. It’s vibrant, with the capability to display 138% of the sRGB color range at 540 nits of brightness. Storage is customizable, ranging from 1TB to a massive 4TB, delivering blazing-fast speeds of up to 7.1 GB/s for reading and 6.5 GB/s for writing in the 2280 form factor. Adding to its flexibility, OneXPlayer has thoughtfully included a MicroSD card slot for additional space.
