2024 ONEXFLY Hands-On! An All New 120Hz, Fast 8840U Hand-held, First Look

From now on, and for a year, you'll see a new 8840U device video from ETA Prime pop up in your KZbin feed every week.

[@TheSignOfJonah]

Can’t wait for AMD’s Strix Halo mobile variant. At that point handhelds will be changed forever

[@Fusion05]

Yeah I don't find that the 7xxx series is just better because the price difference isn't worth it for the added AI stuff which doesn't necessarily affect gamers

[@pauloazuela8488]

@@Fusion05 Could be useful in the future when fsr is optimized for using those Ai cores of amd gpus. But right now it ain't. Although I hope to see this get price drop as the 780m will replace the 680m naturally when the 890m launches

beautiful handheld, really like the design

[@agelikemilk351]

There's no big gap between a 8840u and a Z1 extreme mainly because its the same igpu. I'm sorry but the Rog Ally X seems a better choice, cheaper, more battery life, VRR screen

And I presume support for it is much better than these Chinese companies, but I know we are talking about asus here lol

[@Zibbybob]

$1000 for something a ROG Ally can do better is beyond wild.

[@Montytheolaila]

It’s a supply issue with these smaller companies. They aren’t creating proprietary things like screens. They have to use what exists on the market that is available to them. I’m sure they have a good deal on this screen etc. full joysticks sure valid…but for the most part only huge companies like Asus or Valve are going to create or have other companies create actual tech for them. The demand is there now though and I’m sure they’ll all be using the same 120 hrz 7 inch oled with VRR once it’s created and available

Unless Lenovo makes a new Legion Go with a new Ryzen APU or Valve makes a Steam Deck Two announcement or a release happens in 2024, I could actually see myself buying one of these. I was actually thinking about the OneX Mini with the Ryzen chips, but this is a smaller and more handheld-like experience and I'd like to see what it's about.

Hey man, loving the videos. I’m interested in buying one of these and after watching the video I’ve been looking for one with a 64 GB DDR five but I can’t find it. I can only find it with 32 gigs and an option to upgrade to a 2 TB SSD But no 64 gig perhaps the 32 gig is the highest available model? I just want to know before I make the purchase.

[@slojanko]

8840U is a rebranded 7840U with maybe a 1% difference in performance at best. I would not call this "a nice little upgrade" in any way.

[@slojanko]

You'd think that calling it an upgrade would justify comparing it to the previous one, but I guess that would show it's not an upgrade.

[@StephenTripodi]

Would love to hear your thoughts on this vs the ROG Ally X. Im torn, waiting for my Ally X preorder, but now wondering if I should cancel and get this.

[@jimmycarpenter6612]

Seems decent enough but that price is hard to justify when the direct competitors are hundreds of dollars cheaper.

[@novantha1]

Personally, I think the more interesting handhelds will come out at the end of this year and the start of next year. We have on the way: Intel Lunar Lake. Who knows how the longevity will be, but it should bring Meteor Lake performance -+ a few % with confidence to ultra low power situations, like 7-15 watts, to my understanding. (from 25-35 watts or so), which should make for some really interesting devices down the line. I think, if the mood struck them, an Ayn Odin mini should be possible to make with that platform, at probably very similar power draw to their existing SoC or less, and to still at least match a Steamdeck to be sure. That sounds insane, to me, and I'd instantly throw all my money at it, no problem. Strix Point. The performance we can expect here starts to get to older but still relevant desktop chips, and I've seen anywhere between an RTX 2060-3050-3060 depending on which specific variant (mobile versus desktop) you're comparing to, and in efficiency it should be more like high-end Lunar Lake (I'll guess they're roughly similar until I see reviews), so the high end devices with this will actually feel worth it, IMO, as opposed to the ROG Ally which never really made sense to me given that it never really outperformed the Steamdeck until you got to really high TDPs. Various budget APUs and refreshes. It's my understanding that Intel *and* AMD are both refreshing a variety of APU architectures (they'll be under a new name so be sure to do your research!) in the next seven ish months, on newer process nodes than the originals. If you think about the SoC difference between the OG Steamdeck and the OLED, you can think of something a bit like that. That's super interesting for budget handhelds because old levels of performance will be cheaper, and more efficient, so we could see smaller devices or more performant devices for a slightly lower cost than we could do before. I think if any of the handhelds currently available catch your eye, they'll probably be refreshed with the new stuff, and while it won't be earth shattering, I think if you get an SoC in a handheld that's like, 3-5% better in performance and efficiency it makes a huge difference in this space compared to the performance difference in desktop. Overall, I just don't think it's worth looking at handhelds right now when the next 7-9 months are going to be so crazy with the lineup I see coming.

[@marcust123]

Steam deck 2

[@novantha1]

@@marcust123 I suspect that we’re not going to see a Steam Deck 2 until around 2026 (maybe late 2025). Valve appears to be treating it more like a console in that they’re giving extensive and dedicated support in addition to building an ecosystem around it with explicit partnerships. In line with that I think it’s not unreasonable to expect that they want it to be taken to have a console-like lifespan to make purchasing more palatable, ie: to people who have a gaming PC already, and they want their whole user base on a single device more or less (which I feel they showed by making the Steam Deck OLED with the same level of performance when they could have bumped it up). To provide a convincing upgrade in performance to the majority of its user base I think they need around the ability to play current games at 1080p 60 FPS (I’m not saying that they’re targeting 1080p specifically, but that to run future games around how the Steamdeck does current games they need to target that level of performance), which is roughly 50-100% improvement, or a 1.5X - 2.0X improvement, and it likely has to be at the same power as thermodynamics is not terribly kind to handhelds. I’m pretty sure if by 2025 we can do a 30-60% improvement, it’s not unreasonable to say that a 2026 bespoke device could probably manage a 50-100% improvement over the Steamdeck’s SoC which was a low end level of performance designed for 2020.

Am i the only one that hates the switch style button layout that most all these handhelds use? Egronomics... Where the analog stick is directly below the face buttons .

For me the PS controllers always had the best dpad placement and xbox for the right side analog stick/button placement.

I have an Onexplayer with 8,4 inch screen. And yes, you are right, the right stick is way too low. But I have the Rog Ally and the layout is perfect, it's the Xbox Layout and feels great!
