We have some thrilling information coming from China as of some hours in the past….

One of probably the most prolific handheld gaming PC builders, ONEXPLAYER, introduced their incoming machine: the OneXfly.

We know OneXplayer from their earlier self-titled handheld console, which was included in our listing of the Best Handheld Gaming Pcs.

That handheld featured an 8.4 inch IPS show with some hefty specs, they usually additionally supplied a Mini model with a 7 inch IPS show and related specs.

What makes OneXplayer consoles so particular is their impeccable design and very excessive requirements for high quality.

These are a few of the most premium gadgets in the marketplace. And they’ve the price to match.

Prices vary from $1100-1600 relying on which mannequin and configuration you go along with.

[ They also happen to have their ONEXPLAYER (AMD Ryzen 4800U 16GB + 512GB) unit on sale for $799 at the moment. ]

So what do we all know up to now?

Well, actually, not lots!

We do know that the OneXfly is meant to be a smaller and extra inexpensive entry level into the world of OneXplayer consoles.

It is alleged to characteristic a 6 inch (1920 x 1080 pixel) show, which is concerning the measurement of a Nintendo Switch.

It may even use an AMD Ryzen 5 7520U Mendocino processor, that are new entry stage processors for small low-power gadgets.

So that signifies that the brand new OneXfly is much less highly effective than the earlier fashions. But that additionally signifies that they are often priced at a way more inexpensive stage.

Aimed to compete

With OneXplayer being one of many costlier choices in the marketplace, it is sensible for them to place out a product that may be a viable possibility subsequent to the Steam Deck, AYN Odin, or the AYANEO Air.

It is rumored that each AYN and AYA intend to launch their very own Mendocino chip consoles as properly, so we are going to seemingly be seeing some pricing battles this vacation season between these premium handheld PC makers.

We count on OneXplayer, AYN and AYA to all push for costs aimed to compete with the Steam Deck, which is priced at $399-$649.

It would make sense to see the brand new OneXfly are available in at round $500.

Any formally introduced particulars?

OneXplayer posted the official announcement on their Weibo account. They have but to replace their Twitter account or Discord channel with the OneXfly.

The precise phrases used of their Weibo publish (translated from Chinese to English utilizing Google):

“#oneexplayer一手手# The pilot series OneXfly is the first to use RBG to customize the exclusive light plate on the handheld. You can customize your own name, idol, lover, anniversary, and so on.”

They additionally featured a second picture of a wholly completely different wanting unit with it’s personal personalized identify plate (on the underside left of the console).

Kind of a bizarre picture. Y’all planning on shopping for one to have a look at photographs of cake?

I don’t know if we’re to imagine there shall be a number of colour choices for the console and buttons. The picture could also be a bit deceptive in that sense.

But we do know it can characteristic RGB (not “”RBG”) lighting behind the analogue sticks, and the face plates on the underside corners probably have clear textual content.

So for those who select to take action… you possibly can order your OneXfly with a customized single phrase on the underside left nook (“RetroDodo”, “Nara”, “Gamer”, “Thug Life”).

One different fascinating characteristic to check out: What precisely is occurring with the triggers?

Either they’re now not utilizing stacked triggers, or it’s attainable that the brand new OneXfly includes a triple set off kind association?!

Or it might even be that the R2 & L2 triggers wrap across the R1 & L1, leading to a set off that’s form of stacked AND staggered.

Whatever is occurring there, it’s intriguing. Time will inform.

As per typical, we are going to hold you posted as extra information turns into obtainable!
