Exciting news for gamers looking to take their high-end PC experiences on the go—the presale for OneXPlayer’s OneXFly F1 Pro is live! Touted as the first-ever handheld gaming device to feature the AMD Ryzen AI 300-based processor, this powerful gadget is now available for pre-order until the end of November via the official OneXPlayer store.
The OneXFly F1 Pro is ready to compete with devices like the Asus ROG Ally X, particularly the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 model. Even the Ryzen AI 9 365 edition has shown a knack for surpassing its predecessors, watt-for-watt. We’ll dive into those details shortly, but suffice it to say the power-house internals are a major draw.
Currently, six configurations can be snapped up in this presale, two of which boast the Ryzen AI 9 365 chip, while the remaining four run on the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. The Ryzen AI 9 365 versions differentiate themselves primarily by offering either 1 TB or 2 TB of storage, with prices beginning at $1,099. As for the beefier Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 models, they range from 1 TB to a whopping 4 TB of storage, accompanied by 32 GB to 64 GB of RAM, all starting at $1,339.
A closer look at the specs reveals that the OneXFly F1 Pro delivers solid performance, with a vibrant 7-inch OLED display capable of an impressive 800 nits of brightness. This setup caters well to HDR and high-contrast visual gaming experiences, offering a crystal-clear view of the action. While the Steam Deck OLED’s display hits a higher brightness of 1000 nits, its 90 Hz refresh rate and lower 1280 x 800 resolution give OneXPlayer’s higher resolution and refresh rate a potential edge, particularly in certain titles where resolution scaling could prove advantageous.
While detailed benchmarking data currently comes mainly from OneXPlayer itself, the results align with what one would anticipate based on the hardware profile. Especially noteworthy is the Ryzen AI 9 365 model’s stellar performance, featuring the Radeon 880M integrated GPU. This iGPU matches the previous generation’s compute units but benefits from the advancements made with RDNA 3.5 technology.
As for comparisons, benchmark results have seen the OneXFly AI 365 model consistently outperform the Asus ROG Ally X in tests like Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth: Wukong at various power settings. With each watt, it pushes more frames than the competition in low settings.
Considering its performance and display prowess, the OneXFly F1 Pro is positioning itself as a front-runner in the handheld PC marketplace. However, it lacks some features found in higher-end options, such as eGPU support via OCuLink. While the USB4 ports are a nice addition, they don’t quite meet the needs for seamless external GPU gaming, which may sway some potential buyers.
With presale prices starting at $1,099, compared to the $799 starting price of the Asus ROG Ally X—and $549 for the entry-level Steam Deck OLED—the question becomes whether these performance improvements justify the additional cost. Only you can decide if these gains align with your gaming needs and budget. If you’re after the top-tier handheld gaming performance money can buy and aren’t fazed by diminishing returns in frames per dollar, securing a OneXFly F1 Pro now might be the way to go.
For others, it could be wise to await further reviews or the emergence of competitive alternatives, but keep in mind that prices will rise after the presale ends.
