OneXPlayer has just rolled out their latest innovation, the X1 Pro, which boasts a versatile 3-in-1 design and is driven by AMD’s cutting-edge Strix Point APUs. This new device follows in the footsteps of the F1 Pro and the Ayaneo 3, marking it as one of the pioneer handhelds utilizing AMD’s Zen 5 Strix Point APUs. It’s set to give GPD’s upcoming Pocket 4 mini-laptops some stiff competition.
The X1 Pro stands out with its multifunctional capabilities, effortlessly transforming from a laptop to a tablet and a handheld device. It shares similarities with the Pocket 4, utilizing the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which comes equipped with a robust 12-core CPU (split between four Zen 5 cores and eight Zen5c cores) in a dual-CCX setup. This is complemented by a substantial 12MB of L2 cache, 24MB of L3 cache, and a hefty 5.1 GHz boost clock. On the graphics front, the device is no slouch either, featuring a Radeon 890M iGPU with 16 Compute Units. Thanks to AMD’s XDNA 2 technology, the NPU of the HX 370 can deliver up to 50 TOPS of AI performance, making it a formidable player in its class.
One of the main highlights of the X1 Pro is its stunning display. It sports a 10.95-inch LTPS panel operating at a smooth 120 Hz, offering a remarkable 2560×1600 (2.5K) resolution. The visuals are equally impressive, with the panel covering 138% of the sRGB color space and reaching a bright 540 nits. Users can customize storage to meet their needs, with options ranging from 1TB to 4TB. These offer impressive speeds of 7.1 GB/s for reading and 6.5 GB/s for writing, all within the 2280 form factor. For added flexibility, there’s also a MicroSD card slot for expanding storage further.

The included 100W Gallium Nitride charger is a thoughtful addition, ensuring faster and more efficient recharging. For connectivity, the device offers Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 support, ensuring you’re always connected.
