For those of you who want the best of the best, your only choice was really the GPD Win 5, but now OneXPlayer is entering the ring with their own AMD AI Max+ 395 handheld. The ONEXFLY Apex is packing some serious power, and it just got unveiled at a livestream event over in China, which you can view below.

So what exactly are the technical specifications for this beast? Fortunately, we don't have to wait to find out, as we've been given pretty much all the info we could want on the device.

• CPU: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Zen 5 CPU with TDP of 45-120W) or AMD Ryzen AI Max 385
• GPU: AMD Radeon 8060S (RDNA 3.5 with 40CUs) or AMD Radeon 8050S (RDNA 3.5 with 32CUs)
• Memory: Varies between 32-128GB (Up to 96GB Allocated to VRAM)
• Storage: Support for up to 4TB Via 2280 M.2 PCIe 4.0 Slot + Up to 2TB Via Mini SSD Slot + Up to 2TB via TF Card/Micro SD slot
• Display: 8" 1920x1200 120Hz VRR Panel

• I/O: 1x USB-C 4.0, 1x USB-C 3.2, 1x USB-A 3.2, 3.5mm, DC Charge Port, Mini SSD slot, Micro SD slot

There's no doubt this is an absolute beast of a handheld, sporting very similar specs to the GPD WIN 5, and like the GPD WIN 5, the ONEXFLY Apex will feature an external battery that can clip onto the back of the device. Unlike the GPD WIN 5, however, you can take advantage of optional external liquid cooling to boost the TDP of the device from 80W up to 120W, giving you that extra boost in performance.

The ONEXFLY Apex also features 2 customizable back buttons placed on the grips of the handheld, a first for the company.

We got a brief glimpse at how the AI Max+ 395 model will handle games. With some figures mentioned by OneXPlayer on how the device performs:

• Black Myth Wukong @ Low Settings (120W TDP, Liquid Cooled) - 120 FPS
• Black Myth Wukong @ Low Settings (80W TDP, Air Cooled) - 108 FPS
• Forza Horizon 5 @ High Settings (120W TDP, Liquid Cooled) - 158 FPS
• Forza Horizon 5 @ High Settings (80W TDP, Air Cooled) - 141 FPS
• Cyberpunk 2077 @ Ultra Settings (120W TDP, Liquid Cooled) - 98 FPS

Another thing teased by OneXPlayer is the addition of a new button on the front of the device, which will seamlessly integrate with the Xbox app on Windows and allow you to switch between the standard Windows desktop and the Xbox app, which is easier to navigate with a gamepad.

At this point, you're probably wondering about the price. Well, the pricing was also revealed for all 4 ONEXFLY Apex models that will be released today. The base model will feature the AMD AI Max 385, with the other 3 all sporting the AMD AI Max+ 395, with varying degrees of memory and storage equipped.

Here's an infographic shown during the livestream with pricing and specs:

To help you with your price conversions, it looks like the pricing will range from around $1300 for the AI Max 385 32GB+1TB model, up to around $2200 for the highest model of the ONEXFLY Apex.

The ONEXFLY Apex will go on sale later today over on Indiegogo.
