The next handheld from OneXPlayer is about to hit the metaphorical shelves when the OneXPlayer X2 Mini Pro's Indiegogo campaign launches this Monday. This new handheld from OneXPlayer boasts the brand new AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 388 chipset, as opposed to the AI MAX+ 395 chipset found in many premium handhelds right now.

The OneXPlayer X2 Mini Pro will be available on June 15th, starting at $2399 for the base model, which features 48GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. Prices increase up to $2799 for the highest model, which features 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage. All models can be upgraded to the Liquid-Cooled Edition for $61.

So how does the OneXPlayer X2 Mini Pro stack up against handhelds of a similar price point? We've chosen the OneXPlayer APEX as the main competitor for this handheld; it's available at a similar base price point, as well as using the popular AI MAX+ 395 chipset found in other handhelds.

First off, let's compare the Ryzen Max+ 388 found in the X2 Mini Pro against the Ryzen Max+ 395 found in the APEX. The 388 features fewer CPU cores, only having 8, against the 395's 16. On the 388's side, it does have higher base clocks, so we could see the individual cores being stronger, despite having fewer of them. Either way, both CPUs should comfortably handle any gaming tasks you throw at them right now.

Moving onto the GPU side of things, both chipsets feature the AMD 8060S GPU with 40 CUs; they are even clocked the same, so realistically, there should be no performance difference here. That means when gaming, the 2 chipsets should perform somewhat comparably to each other.

When it comes to the controls of the devices, they are very similar, both sporting 2 back grip buttons, alongside the usual controls we've come to expect these days, 4 face buttons, 2 shoulder buttons, 2 triggers, 2 thumbsticks, a D-Pad, etc. The key difference with the X2 Mini Pro is that the controllers are both detachable, much like a Nintendo Switch or Lenovo Legion Go, allowing you to transform the device into a gaming tablet and hold the controllers in your hands.

That brings us to the big difference between the X2 Mini Pro and the APEX: the design. The X2 Mini Pro features an 8.8" 144Hz OLED display with support for HDR and VRR. The APEX, however, features an 8" 120Hz LCD display with VRR, but no HDR support. This is a clear win for the X2 Mini Pro.

The X2 Mini Pro can also transform itself into a notebook, via a connectable magnetic keyboard. This is great for productivity tasks such as writing emails, documents, or just making navigating the Windows UI a bit easier, considering the OS still isn't very controller-friendly.

The battery design is identical to the APEX's, that being an external 85Wh battery mounted on the rear of the device, so again, we don't have an internal battery; that's something to bear in mind when considering these devices. Likewise, the Liquid-Cooling Edition is similar to the APEX's design, with the ONEXPLAYER Frost Bay able to be connected to the device to provide additional cooling.

So yes, it costs more than the APEX, just, and it sports a slightly weaker CPU. But the GPU is identical, it has a higher quality display, and it has more versatility in its controller options.

The OneXPlayer X2 Mini Pro will be available over on IndieGoGo in less than 48 hours. You can head on over to the page now to be notified when the campaign launches.
