OneXplayer X1 vs Legion Go | the BEST BIG handheld

Got a Legion Go with a folding bluetooth keyboard with touchpad. The keyboard fits into the Go's case for when I need it. The two combined are cheaper than the X1 and the Go is still way more portable. Only thing the Go needs is a better battery.

[@Cerealkiller824]

I bought both and altough the legion go has a very nice finish I used my X1 a lot more so returned the legion go. Only thing I didn't like about the X1 is the controllers are so light they feel cheap even thought they arent and mine didn't come with the hall effect sticks so I ordered those separately and I feel like those feel a little better, like sticks a little tighter, and buttons more clicks responsive. I feel like there's a slight difference but idk could just be newer controllers even though my older ones are only 2 weeks old. Over all I'm very happy with my X1 and glad I got a legion go also to compared both and make a real decision and not feel bad.

[@BarelyAverageDude]

Controllers are much lighter than legion because there’s no battery inside so I get what you’re saying. They don’t really feel cheap in the materials, but the weight throws you off

[@Cerealkiller824]

@@BarelyAverageDude yeah no batteries no Wireless transmitters not that stuff so they are a lot lighter. The sticks too don't really have a lot of tension Sophia used to like an Xbox controller they're going to feel really light. But the new hall effect ones that I ordered do you feel a lot better than the ones that I came with I don't think there's really a difference but everything just feels more crisp and tight and the sticks feel like they do have slightly more tension than the sticks that it came with

[@BarelyAverageDude]

@@Cerealkiller824 I have three pairs at this point, 2 Hall effect and one regular they all feel similar but it could be slightly more tension. I’m not sure. Could be a placebo, I can’t tell 😅🤷🏽‍♂️

I gotta ask if the fans ever get kinda up there in noise? I know fans running at full speed will produce a little higher pitch noise but just wanna now if it's like louder than say the legion go was or for me I'd compare to a switch since that's my last handheld.

[@sgordley1]

Love the review have both devices, one thing that the Legion Go could really use is 32GB of RAM 16 just isn't enough for these device, picked out the top spec'd X1 and really like the 64GB of RAM, since I use it for work and play it's worth the price.

[@BarelyAverageDude]

Yeah, maybe we’ll see 32gb in the Go 2.0 And that sounds like a dope setup for your work and play. Enjoy! 👍🏽

[@overtimestudentnott6054]

It was my first time watching your video. It was nice and very detailed.

[@venancioder9288]

You know I would love to own an Ayaneo Onexplayer or Aokzoe, but the repair support is terrible from what I heard. If any of those devices were available at Best Buy, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one 32GB RAM, which is a great start for me. I've seen Best Buy selling the Ayaeno Kun, but it's a 16GB RAM. If they ever get the 32GB version, I will sell my legion go and rog ally x to buy it. Such devices will be a life changer.

[@BarelyAverageDude]

Repairs are definitely questionable if you're outside of China. But in my experience support will usually send you parts for free or low cost if you are up to repair it yourself.

[@faisalcsat3301]

@@joaocspcosta yeah that would be dope. They do have the controller connector that turns them into a wireless controller.

[@joaocspcosta]

@@BarelyAverageDude so the conector works like a battery and they work detached from x1? Also the 32 GB on the x1 and 24 on ally x seems to don't improve all that much FPS in games, but should help on games boot, because with 32 you can provide the Max 6 to gpu and all games depending ON big memory should boot fine, without adjusts needed, right?

[@BarelyAverageDude]

@@joaocspcosta yes it works as a battery and transmitter for the controllers. With 32gb RAM you can set more than 6 to VRAM; I have 10gb on my X1 It helps with stability in graphical games not really more max FPS

Ally x or legion go. Please tell me. Comfort and performance i play plugged in mainly

[@BarelyAverageDude]

Ally X has slightly better performance but imo the Legion go is slightly more ergonomic with the larger grip. If you live near a Best Buy you should go get hands on with them. There’s usually a display unit you can hold.

Definitely good enough for productivity and general computer tasks. I’ve typed full documents using the keyboard with no issues. The trackpad isn’t as good as a real laptop but it’s definitely usable and gets the job done.

[@TuPhonez4Free]

Legion maybe for PC. But not in the sales market and one of the most expensive. To me it still lacks what a Switch or Razer Edge 5G or G Cloud can do and offer.

Brother how’s comes you haven’t compared the onexplayerx1 vs rog ally x. These are the two best gaming handhelds. Legion go is not great it loses at every performance test you do so not sure why we are comparing the legion to onexplayer

[@kizzorama]

Legion go is a similar style device. Great comparo. Thanks.

[@fredsas12]

Limiting the Legion Go to 4C /8T in the BIOS will fix most power issues AND give it more headroom in both power and temps for the GPU side of things. Also disabling the CPU Turbo boost. Fact of the matter is that these CPUs are so strong, that at no point will they ever "CPU limit" the Radeon 780M's performance.

It does say "LARGE SCREEN". the rog ally is way smaller than both.

X1 almost twice the price for it to be unmanageable to use as a portable handheld. Just buy a laptop and xbox controller instead of the X1.

@@thesilverpittie9632 Not sure how $1100 is 2x $750, but yeah it’s more expensive. It’s only 60g heavier than the Legion go, far from unmanageable IMO. Plus X1 is a 3-in-1, laptop is just 1-in-1 😅🤷🏽‍♂️ I’m not trying to sell the X1, but I think “just get a laptop” is a bad argument because laptops are WAY heavier and they don’t have the versatility of being a handheld if you want to.

[@85crazytechlaz]

I like the oneXplayer but I purposely got out a rid of my OneXplayer 2 pro because the company never update the device like how they're supposed to roll it out and update it like their software and the drivers like they suck on that and they suck on communication when you try to get in contact with them about that problem so that's why I got rid of it because it wasn't worth it and I only had it for like 3 or 2 months then I sold it so I stick with my Legion go because I guess it was my best bet....... Oh yeah and I left out like if you try to put different drivers on it not the drivers that they have set up or do anything like any workarounds or whatever like any new scripts to fix the situation with the onexplayer any oneXplayer devices then it starts messing up it starts tripping out it starts acting up so yeah it's just not worth it

[@BarelyAverageDude]

Not sure what issue you were having with your device, but the drivers come straight from AMD and I’ve had no issue updating the drivers across multiple AMD updates. The device may have been defective because you shouldn’t need any scripts or custom drivers for the graphics.

@@BarelyAverageDude My boys attack and me and him were trying to fix things on it to make it run better without depending on one X player company and All the crap that they have on their websites are not good but maybe because that's a new device and you're downloading new drivers stuff like that and they're fixing them now finally is because they're trying to get rid of those devices that you guys have purchasing from them That's probably why hence the whole reason why you're not having that problem but I did before in the past with the oneXplayer 2 pro
