OneXPlayerhas officially launched the X1 Pro, featuring a 3-in-1 form factor powered by AMD’s Strix Point APUs. Following the F1 Pro and theAyaneo 3, the X1 Pro is one of the first handhelds that employs AMD’s Zen 5 Strix Point APUs and is a strong competitor to GPD’s forthcomingPocket 4 mini-laptops.
The OneXPlayer X1 Pro has a multi-purpose design, as it can simultaneously be used as a laptop, a tablet, and a handheld. Just like the Pocket 4, the X1 Pro offers the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which features 12 cores (four Zen 5 + eight Zen5c) in a dual-CCX layout, 12MB of L2 cache alongside 24MB of L3 cache, and a boost clock of 5.1 GHz. In addition, on the iGPU (Integrated GPU) side comes theRadeon890M with 16 CUs (Compute Units). Powered by AMD’s XDNA 2, the NPU on the HX 370 can dish out 50 TOPS of AI performance.
The display is decked out with a 10.95-inch 120 Hz LTPS (likely IPS) panel with an impressive 2560x1600 (2.5K) resolution. The X1 Pro is also vivid, as the panel can cover 138% of the sRGB color space with a brightness of 540 nits. You may configure the storage to your liking, from 1TB to 4TB, with speeds of up to 7.1 GB/s (read) and 6.5 GB/s (write) in the 2280 form factor. Moreover, OneXPlayer has gone one step ahead and included a MicroSD card slot for additional storage.
The X1 Pro’s 65.02Wh battery promises eight hours of battery life, though real-world runtimes will vary; when configured at 28W, it should last around two hours. OneXPlayer has also included a 100W Gallium Nitride charger in the box. Connectivity-wise, there is support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
The added controller features hall-effect RGB joysticks to ward off stick drift. Regarding I/O, we see two USB 4.0 ports, an OCuLink interface, a MicroSD card slot, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, and a 3.5mmaudiojack.
