New gaming handheld outperforms Steam Deck with RTX 4060 power

If you’re a gaming enthusiast who has felt constrained by the limitations of portable gaming devices, the new OneXFly Apex might just be the handheld you’ve been waiting for. Promising performance comparable to an RTX 4060, this device seeks to redefine what’s possible in mobile gaming. But is it worth the price tag? Let's dive into its features.

Introducing the Lenovo Legion Go 2

The OneXFly Apex is not just another gaming handheld; it’s a statement of intent by OneXPlayer. With dimensions of 290.15 x 135.5 x 22.5mm, it is slightly larger than the widely recognized Steam Deck, but packs a punch with hardware that is engineered for high performance.

Powerful Hardware Specifications

At the heart of the OneXFly Apex is the 16-core AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 CPU, which is complemented by an integrated Radeon 8060S GPU featuring 40 compute units. This combination enables the handheld to deliver performance levels that are typically found in desktop gaming systems.

Key specifications include:

• Processor: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
• Graphics: Radeon 8060S with 40 compute units
• Memory: Up to 128GB of 8,000MT/s LPDDR5x
• Display: 8-inch 1920×1200 VRR screen with a 120Hz refresh rate
• Storage: Configurable up to 8TB

Performance That Rivals Desktop Gaming

OneXPlayer claims that the Radeon 8060S can match the performance of a desktop RTX 4060, a claim that gains some credence from various performance reviews. For instance, RandomGaminginHD noted that the Radeon 8060S holds its own against an RTX 4060, all while consuming significantly less power.

Innovative Cooling Solutions

To accommodate such high-performance components, the OneXFly Apex is equipped with advanced cooling systems. It features a modular 85Wh external battery for uninterrupted gameplay, allowing users to swap batteries quickly. However, this design choice adds some weight, with the device weighing in at:

• Standard Version: 699g with dual-fan copper cooling
• Liquid-Cooled Version: 769g with external AIO cooling

The liquid-cooled model is especially intriguing, featuring a built-in module linked to an external AIO unit with a 120mm radiator, allowing for improved thermal management.

Comparing Performance Limits

The air-cooled version has a thermal design power (TDP) of 80W, while the liquid-cooled variant can reach up to 120W. This disparity enables the liquid-cooled version to sustain higher performance levels during extended gaming sessions, making it ideal for hardcore gamers.

Storage Options: A Gamers Dream

Storage is a significant factor for gamers, and the OneXFly Apex does not disappoint. You can configure it to have:

• 4TB of local storage via PCIe Gen 4 M.2 2280 slot
• 2TB via a Mini SSD expansion slot
• 2TB via a microSD card

This level of storage is impressive and may even exceed what is available on many desktop systems.

Price and Availability

While the OneXFly Apex offers cutting-edge technology, it comes at a hefty price. The standard version starts at:

• $1,399 for the 12-core AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 CPU and Radeon 8050S GPU with 32 compute units.
• $1,659 for the high-end version with a 16-core CPU and Radeon 8060S GPU, featuring 48GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
• $2,299 for a premium model boasting 128GB of RAM and 2TB of storage.

These models will launch through an Indiegogo campaign on November 9, starting at 3 PM.

Final Thoughts: Is the OneXFly Apex Worth It?

With the gaming landscape evolving rapidly, the OneXFly Apex positions itself as a formidable contender against existing handhelds like the Steam Deck. The combination of powerful hardware, innovative cooling solutions, and massive storage makes it a tempting choice for gamers seeking high performance on the go. However, the steep prices may deter casual gamers or those on a budget.
