ONEXPLAYER 2 Review - The Biggest Handheld PC Yet 

That's what I instantly noticed and I find it, as the kids these days say, "cringe"

@TakiUdon how do you use the gcloud controller on dolphin emulator

There is no core like the hard core.

The only thing I like hardcore is my Japanese tentacle porn, thank you very much. I shall pass on this poorly-branded device for this reason.

Did you activate turbo? Looked like it was disabled.

they released the oxp for £633 is what I paid on IGG at the time and I did a referal and got a bundle of goodies but now the OXP starts at over £250 higher and I can't justify this when I have the OXP i7-1165g7 and Steam Deck. The GPD Win 4 is more than £200 less for the same 6800u and ssd capacity and ram size. However GPDs record of igg quality control has put me off from even bothering.

I see this response a lot on handhelds all the time. I felt the same way and held out as long as I could. I eventually settled on a steam deck because of its support. I can tell you the steam deck has wonderful support from the factory and community. It's worth looking into.

@@ronin_117 I did look into the steam deck vs 6800u and until you push the watts of the 6800u the steam deck out performs the 6800u in most games tested. Only when the watts are exceeding 20w then the 6800u does out perform the steam deck fps cap but maybe 15% and even further when the watts are really pushed but then you loose battery life.

@@_GarethRossUK that's a lot of really good information I did not know, thanks bud!

@@_GarethRossUK that’s not accurate at all. Look at all the benchmarks and tests done by reviewers, the 6800u starts to surpass the Steam Deck at anywhere from 13-15 watts depending on the game. Also most of these devices have a significantly larger battery than the Deck. At equal wattage the Ayaneo 2 gets about 30 minutes more battery life than the Deck. Yes they obviously suck at power at high wattage, but you don’t have to go to super high wattage to get better performance than the Deck. I suppose if someone really wants to push it hard to 35 watts or so they could just have it plugged in to an outlet or a battery bank. I know I probably won’t ever push my Ayaneo 2 above about 25-28 watts.

if this is true, youve got all my respect

yea its getting ridiculous... reminds me of the VR headsets the past few years.. same craziness. These companies think we can just keep buying one every 6 months?? lol.. id rather wait another year or two at this rate .

Well yeah, because the 6800u finally became available so all these companies are completing their devices around the same time. Should we complain about the 100 different super similar gaming laptops that come out every year?

Yeah and it's pretty stupid considering the only one anyone would ever need is called the steam deck

@@ReptilianRichardRamirez yeah if you are OK with an oversized handheld with a bad screen, sure get a Steam Deck. It’s affordable, but there are better options out there for people who want higher quality.

@@ReptilianRichardRamirezJesus Christ, disgusting.

If u don't want it ill take it

man i love the 8.4in screen, but 8.8in is too much for a handheld especially taking it with you. you just can't whip it out like a phone compared to the 8.4in

IKR!! Thanks Taki! You Tha man!!!

That's a great idea

Well, the Win 4 is one of the best handhelds in this generation and the price is reasonable. Can't speak to aokzoe.

Yes

The font is the funny thing

:D

Same

Ye I bought a 64gb model and upgraded the ssd, but if the top model had a better screen, I’d have paid the extra to valve

Intel Drivers yes but for emulation RPSC3 is still best on Intel.

Actually itel inprover drivers work a lot, my old gpd win 3 started playing games much better. I've just started ff7 reintegrate and go on max visual , stable min 30fps

@@tombstonefreak I dont have it anymore to test, so I can't say for certain so I'll take your word for it. I'm in the market for a newer Aya Neo so if I can find one at a good price I'll use it. Wasn't a fan of the Steam Deck but the price was right. wish these handheld pc's were closer to that price range.

Jesus Christ. That’s insane. You paid almost 12 thousand only to be charged extra for cancellation fee?

this company is crappy. No support and shady tactics. The same goes with aokzoe because its the same people behind it.

​@Kanaba Nakamura PSP was beautiful and way ahead of it's time.. The Vita was ugly and named Vita 😆 👎🏻

Only the Win 4 seems to make less noise. This one is more or less on par with AYANEO2.

At least if it breaks, you can easily buy a new set?

They’re working on it… calm down

@@xMRxLAMAxDon't kid yourself, they won't change anything about it. What you see is what you get.

Yeah but this 8.4. Who cares about the borders if the screen is bigger. LoL

I've been thinking about getting the aokzoe. Why do you prefer the Neo 2 over aokzoe?

well i just got a GPD win max 4 16GB + 512GB for 750€, where the the 512gb steam deack would be 680€, so definetly worth the price increase imo. Also dunno where "a third of price" comes from, unless you are talking of the 64gb version (which is completely useless)

@@Geffry993 GPD is very tempting just sounds like their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. The only thing holding me back from buying it

@@Geffry993 where did you buy from?

@@RG6Snipers Indiegogo campaign, will arrive at march

@@matthewritenour3529 from what I could read if you are willing to fix the device by yourself they are pretty fast in sending the parts. The problems begin if you want to send the device to them . Here where I live it's full of small Chinese shops that would install the new part for like 20€. This is the reason why I decided to buy it

There are other companies that release more devices in a year, but this is one of the bigger ones.

The steam deck just came brooooo it’s the console peasant of pc gaming broooo wtf are you talking about Brooooooooo

That part was me explaining how this usually goes. It didn't go that way this time because they didn't tell me what was being fixed and just making a general statement like that isn't enough for me to embargo my thoughts. It was strange so I explained how this process typically goes with other companies. A better example to illustrate what this is usually like in practice would be if I got sent a prototype that had damaged paint. I might be asked to not emphasize the damage because it's not reflective of a retail product, or I can show it, but I have to say that this is prototype-specific.

Don't have one

This year or next year there should be a Ryzen processor that is a direct upgrade over the SD processor in every way (emphasis on battery life). The problem is it might be an exclusive processor that only Valve can get.

These handheld Gaming PCs are more powerful than the SteamDeck. You will find they release these handheld every year with increasingly more powerful and newer specs, because they are PC vendors - this is what PC gaming is about. The prices are kept around the same as well. Valve is not going to release a Steam Deck 2, 3, 4,5 etc.. every year, however these PC vendors can because it's the business model. So when you think about it, that Price to performance ratio will continue to shrink for the Steam Deck compared to handheld gaming PCs. Already there is discussion that the SteamDeck is sort of underpowered - It is far more powerful and capable than the Nintendo Switch at such a small price difference, but out outside of the console world quite a fair bit of tweaking and some comprises are needed to run many of the newest AAA games at 45-60fps SteamDeck will have legs for many years because there are tens of thousands of older AAA games and emulation that will run fantastic on the device, but handheld PCs looks to be growing very, very fast with more powerful and capable handheld gaming PCs coming out every year that may eventually reach a level of parity with laptop gaming pcs to run the latest AAA games that the Steam Deck will increasingly lag behind to a point it simply cannot run them reasonably because it doesn't have the chops to do it. Consoles can get away with it, because games are developed for those specs "lowest common denominator", but in the PC gaming world one has to eventually upgrade if they want to run the latest and greatest at reasonable performances.

as for the battery life, this device has a bigger 65 watt battery so it's going to run classic AAA, indie games etc for far longer. What you want is a bigger battery to use ratio. I would be interested to see how long it can run the most demanding AAA games compared to other 6800U devices with the same level of settings, screen brightness, power profile etc...with respect to the screen size and resolution as well that is being powered This would help show how much of a benefit batery size could be. I do agree, we can always use more battery life, but I also think we are hitting the limits of litium Ion batteries and are overdue for newer and better battery technology anyway. Only so much tweaking, chip efficiency, software optimization and compromises that can be done until all handheld technology (and electric cars, houses) are simply held back because of our current battery limitations. d

No emulator. It is a pc game.

Thank you

Yes, my Dolphin emulator guide goes over this.

@@TakiUdonthanks it worked

The speakers seem good. Didn't do any comparisons for this first look.

So you want a steam deck with a two-3 extra gpu cores cause that’s basically what it sounds like. Btw you wouldn’t have the same performance since you’d be cpu bound

You really think things aren’t going to keep improving from here? Handheld pcs aren’t a new thing

4c zen4 and 12-16cu rdna3 igpu shud be good enough i think

@@alexmeek610 Yeah, with most games, the extra cores on the 6800U are wasted. Hell, hexacores still don't see great utilization in that many games. So, when reliant on an iGPU, we'll only be CPU bound in a very, very small handful of games.

They sometimes have discounts on refurbished units .

Kakarot. If you like DBZ, you should get the game. It's very good.

I don't think I was that harsh...

If they don't they lose customers lmao. Looks too clunky and old design.they should refresh with some new design.
