ONEXPLAYER X1 Mini First Look, An All New 144Hz 8.8" RYZEN 8840U Handheld

[@aimlesslydriven]

YES! They listened and put a kickstand on this. No magnetic rear cover doohickey.

[@hellbillyhound]

Are you going to buy one?

[@aimlesslydriven]

@@hellbillyhound I like that it has the higher refresh rate display and up to 64 GB RAM. But like the OneXPlayer 2 Pro the 2nd USB port is on the bottom with the Occulink port which I have never been a fan of ports on the bottom of a handheld. At least the 2nd USB port is not blocked when the controllers are in place like the X1. Still hard to hit the left triggers for the 1 USB C port leftover on the X1 without a 90 or 180 bent usb port adapter. But OneX makes awesome handhelds so I may not be able to resist.

[@Victorlopes289]

Really want one! Looks amazing! My concern is that i had one model from OneNote in the past (onexplayer 5800U) and my experience with their Joysticks was really bad! Their Joysticks had a big problem with Deadzones (making Shooting games unplayable) Would love to see more about the controller and Deadzones!

​@@jaynosowsky9708Hey, man. Beauty is subjective.

[@alfonsomoran7706]

I recently sold my OneXfly because of that deadzone issue. I couldn't find anyone else with the issue so i might've been in the minority. All the re-calibration, tips, and tricks couldn't help me unfortunately. It was too much for FPS games, and even made single player shooters feel just a tad off.

[@jaynosowsky9708]

@alfonsomoran7706 just buy a rog ally ,so much cheaper.. and it's the best windows handheld you can buy. It is the king of handhelds

[@glennshoemake4200]

I still have my OneXplayer 5800u and I haven't noticed any issues with the joysticks, I play Lost Planet 2 on it just fine. My complaint is the sdcard is too slow to put anything on it other than roms.

[@LISTEDGames]

How many of these are being released by these companies( AyaNeo & OneXPlayer). I am really worried about their long term support for these devices as I doubt they can keep up with them.

[@erikhonkys118]

Tbh not many people will buy those, so I think it will be manageable.

[@brandonkrauss1620]

@@erikhonkys118 That's the problem. Too many SKUs, each all having small users bases = company less motivated to actually support the 200 units they sold

[@FreezeS]

@@erikhonkys118 quite the opposite, since not many people will put pressure on them to update, they will remain unsupported very quickly.

[@Sup_D]

They give the standard 1 year warranty. As for Software support, i think every device uses the same custom software, so i doubt their would be any issue with support (as long as the company is active). And these are basically mini pc's with some Bluetooth or special connecting software, so even without support they would work the same, unless there is some defects.

[@Sup_D]

@@erikhonkys118 They already make these is limited quantity, so they don't have to worry too much about over stock (think they make like 100-500 of each version).

[@nickjacobsss]

The size comparison really highlights just how ridiculously large the steam deck is for its components. The x1 mini has a SIGNIFICANTLY bigger screen and processing power, AND has detachable powered controllers, while being basically the same size.

[@Just_Manny305]

I wish you’d be a bit more honest with your reviews. Lately your reviews have been only focusing on positive, and leaving out comments about critical areas of improvement.

[@aneesiqbal8546]

Really like it. Very curious to see if it can do 4k gaming with an RTX 3090 over oculink and a monitor attached. I can retire my gaming mini-pc if so and can use this for everything, portable/docked.

[@Morgan423Z]

Super-odd to me that companies keep releasing these devices without track pads. Especially on a default Windows OS device. It's super annoying trying to navigate with sticks, and I hate being forced to use the touchscreen, I hate getting prints all over my display. I guess you could set up gyro to do it? That'd be weird.

[@DeangusMcFife]

hows the layout of the controller feel? one of my biggest gripes with these handhelds is the vertical layout of the buttons/dpad and the sticks and how it feels like your straining your thumbs to reach. i like the feeling of both the xbox controller and the Deck button layout.

[@draco2xx]

feels decent

[@komruz]

It's go huge bezels, kills it alittle but like the IO's and form factor. Well done

[@VicV91]

An 8" OLED screen, 1920x1200, 90 Hertz, it would be smaller, lighter, much more economical, more efficient and would have a more beautiful screen. It would allow for better ergonomic controls, like the ROG ALLY... In terms of aesthetics , they could round these edges of the body a little.

Be close to my OneXplayer 2 pro specs. They will release something similar pretty soon. I personally would like a bigger screen for work so I'm in the market for an X1.

[@TheGamingCirclePodcast]

The only thing that bugs me is that it's a portrait display! That means AFMF doesn't work. Just like my AOKZOE A1 Pro. I was really excited to get one till I saw that. I might still get one but that's really tampered my excitement.

[@peterpereira3653]

Definitely a contender and finally a handheld with a decent capacity battery. Not to bothered about how the machine looks, it looks how it looks far as I'm concerned. Build quality seems good too. And it's still less bulky than a laptop. Which for me a disabled person is a good thing.

[@darknetworld]

I guess they tested and chose which chip to keep power and heat to last longer? Still it been long way to desktop to tablet to be compact size and portable.

[@substance90]

I really don’t understand why KZbinrs keep saying the review unit is a prototype and things might change. They never change with those Chinese companies. Those are small batches. They do sell them quickly and move on to the next thing.

[@AdmiralBison]

2:05 if you "sliced" the controllers off the Steam Deck and attached it to the OneXplayer X1 mini it looks to be a better fit. I recon OneNet ought to copy the control layout of the Steam to allow for trackpads, more space for select/start/keyboard/home and face button/stick layout. More room for 4 x back pedals and perhaps 4 x shoulder buttons and 4 x nub buttons on top.

[@techqin]

Damn, Cyberpunk had great performance. I wouldn’t mind running it at 800p with low or medium settings to get even higher frame rates. Really impressive.

[@mtx1212]

it's basically a cloned Legion Go with the exact same 8.8in panel at 1600p 144hz, yet zero mentioning of this.

[@Nothing_is_sacred]

I love reading the complaints in the comments, It seems soo trivial .

[@AdmiralBison]

16:15 "easier for the roll in fighting games" unfortunately, OneNet has made the D-pad and right thumbstick too low and directly underneath the left stick and face buttons. You end up having to reach lower to pull bottom half circle moves with the dpad in fighting games and the controls are not off center like Xbox/Playstation controllers - when they are off center it allows thumbs to more naturally shift left or right between sticks and dpad/face buttons, but with these controls you have to move up and down. This is could be the result of having smaller controls and also a bit cramp. basically as mentioned a lot in the discord the controllers need to be bigger to allow better spacing, alignment and balance. OneNet looks to have improved the X1 mini by moving one of the USB-C ports as it was blocked by the controllers.

[@vi8799]

I love this boom in portable consoles with PC architecture. However, I don't understand the priority in the features of these devices. Why does the screen need such a resolution and refresh rate? It won’t run a single game at 144 Hz at 2K, what’s the point of this frequency? Or why waste battery on stick lighting? Why increase cost by using wireless controllers? All of it makes it heavy for a portable device. It could be cheaper if the creators focused on the important things rather than marketing gimmicks.

Hardware looks good, but I just find the Windows experience (in handheld mode) on these devices too jarring. I've put ChimeraOS on my Legion Go (which works well), and until there's a windows mode (or app) that provides someting more like Steam's "big picture" mode, Windows on handhelds is a "no, thanks" from me. Don't get me wrong - the different manufacturers' (Armory Crate / Legion Space / OneXP CC) apps, or 3rd party apps (Handheld Companion etc.) are mostly fine, but Windows keeps interrupting (updates, notifications etc.) and dragging me back to the desktop (which is the jarring aspect). Never thought I'd miss the Windows 8 metro interface...
