OneXPlayer is joining the first wave of Strix Halo-powered handhelds with its new flagship, the OneXfly APEX. Billed as the company’s fastest handheld yet, the APEX pairs AMD’s top-tier Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU with premium hardware and an aggressive power-and-cooling design aimed squarely at enthusiasts.
According to OneXPlayer’s teaser, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 brings 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and 32 threads for class-leading portable performance, along with Radeon 8060S integrated graphics featuring 40 compute units built on RDNA 3.5. That combo is designed to push modern games and creator workloads further than previous handhelds.
To unleash the chip’s full potential, the OneXfly APEX is rated to boost up to 120W, matching the APU’s upper power limit. To keep thermals in check, OneXPlayer says it’s using a silent liquid cooling solution inside the chassis—an uncommon approach in handheld gaming devices and a clear sign the company is targeting sustained high performance rather than short bursts.
The APEX also leans into a traditional, player-friendly layout. It features an 8-inch native landscape display with a 120Hz refresh rate and VRR support for smoother frame pacing. Controls include ABXY face buttons, dual analog sticks, a D-pad, and adjustable multi-stage triggers that hint at both analog and micro switch behavior. Audio is handled by Harman-tuned dual speakers, rounding out the premium feel.
Key highlights at a glance:
– AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 16 Zen 5 cores and 32 threads
– Radeon 8060S iGPU with 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units
– Up to 120W power draw with silent liquid cooling
– 8-inch display, 120Hz refresh rate, Variable Refresh Rate
– Adjustable multi-stage triggers, ABXY, dual sticks, D-pad
– Harman-tuned dual speakers
– Mini SSD storage support
In the broader market context, the APEX arrives as one of the earliest Strix Halo handhelds announced. With another brand already shipping a Strix Halo device, OneXPlayer could be the second to reach customers, potentially ahead of other rivals. Exact battery capacity and runtime, as well as details like a detachable battery, remain under wraps for now, and additional specs are expected to surface as launch nears.
If OneXPlayer delivers on its 120W target with reliable liquid cooling, the OneXfly APEX could set a new bar for portable PC gaming performance—pairing a high-refresh 8-inch panel and enthusiast-grade controls with one of AMD’s most powerful integrated graphics platforms to date.
