OneXPlayer recently created a buzz with a YouTube teaser for its next handheld marvel, the Onexfly F1 Pro. Packed with the power of AMD’s cutting-edge Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip from the Ryzen AI 300 lineup, also known as Strix Point, this gadget raises the bar for portable gaming. The Onexfly F1 Pro, adorned with a vivid 7-inch screen, impressed early viewers by smoothly running Black Myth: Wukong at frame rates between 50 and 60 FPS.
This device boasts a state-of-the-art 7-inch OLED display, complete with HDR support and a remarkable 144 Hz refresh rate. Weighing just 598 grams and fitted with premium Harman Kardon speakers, it promises an immersive experience. At its core is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU, featuring an array of four Zen 5 cores and eight Zen 5c cores, alongside AMD’s latest Radeon 890M integrated graphics unit, which utilizes the innovative RDNA 3.5 architecture. With these specs, the OneXfly F1 Pro stands toe-to-toe with strong contenders like the Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally X, and Lenovo Legion Go.
In a demonstration, OneXPlayer showcased the device’s capabilities through the Black Myth: Wukong benchmark, running at 1080p with low-quality settings and 65% upscaling, effectively rendering a resolution of 1248 x 702. This configuration, limited to a power draw of 15W, delivered an average of 58 FPS.
The Onexfly F1 Pro marks OneXPlayer’s first journey into pairing an OLED display with AMD’s forward-thinking Zen 5-based mobile CPUs, moving away from its lineup of older Intel or AMD processors and traditional screens. It’s set to be among the pioneering handhelds released with Zen 5 processors, with the GPT Pocket 4 being its only current rival boasting the Ryzen AI HX 370.
Unlike the Pocket 4, which is a versatile 2-in-1 device featuring a keyboard and a screen that rotates 180 degrees, the F1 Pro embraces a classic handheld design with traditional gaming grips and controls. OneXPlayer’s benchmarks demonstrate that the AI 9 HX 370 is perfectly optimized for handheld devices, delivering the chops needed to tackle the toughest AAA games even at a manageable mid-range 15W TDP, thus aiding battery longevity. As AMD’s new handheld-specific Z-series CPUs are yet to debut, manufacturers are relying on the laptop-centric Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs for the time being.
