OneXPlayer has taken a bold step forward by unveiling the X1 Pro, a versatile new device that packs a punch with AMD’s Strix Point APUs. In a competitive field, featuring models like the F1 Pro and Ayaneo 3, the X1 Pro stands out, being one of the pioneering handhelds equipped with AMD’s Zen 5 Strix Point technology. It’s setting the stage to rival GPD’s eagerly awaited Pocket 4 mini-laptops.
This multi-functional X1 Pro design is like having a laptop, tablet, and handheld device all rolled into one. Much like its upcoming competitor, the Pocket 4, it boasts the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. This chip is not just about power; it’s loaded with 12 cores split between four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c, held together in a dual-CCX layout. You get 12MB of L2 cache and a whopping 24MB of L3 cache, plus a boost clock speed reaching 5.1 GHz. On the graphics front, the Radeon 890M steps in with 16 Compute Units. With AMD’s XDNA 2 driving it, the NPU on the HX 370 delivers a formidable 50 TOPS for AI tasks.
Turning our attention to the display, it’s packed with a 10.95-inch panel showcasing a sharp 2560×1600 (2.5K) resolution, and it refreshes at 120 Hz. Color-wise, expect to see everything pop, given that it covers an impressive 138% of the sRGB spectrum and shines bright at 540 nits. Storage options are flexible, ranging from 1TB to a hefty 4TB, offering blistering read and write speeds up to 7.1 GB/s and 6.5 GB/s, respectively. Plus, if you find yourself needing more space, OneXPlayer thoughtfully includes a MicroSD card slot for easy expandability.
Here’s the pricing scoop: during the presale, you can grab these devices at a marked-down rate. Once presale ends, prices go up, so now’s a smart time to buy. They’ve also packed a 100W Gallium Nitride charger in the box, rounding out a feature-rich offer. When it comes to connectivity, expect seamless connections with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
The X1 Pro also addresses a common issue with its hall-effect RGB joysticks, engineered to combat stick drift. Looking at ports, it’s stacked with two USB 4.0 slots, an OCuLink interface, a MicroSD card slot, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Pre-orders kick off today, giving you a chance to secure the X1 Pro at a special presale price. Mark your calendar for January 3rd when shipments begin. Eager to see it in action? OneXPlayer plans to showcase the X1 Pro along with other innovative devices at CES 2025 next month.
