OneXPlayer X1 mini (AMD) & X1 first look review. 

Nice! Hopefully you enjoy it. I enjoy the larger x1 mostly because of the laptop mode being pretty decent.

Thanks man, I'm sure you'll enjoy it

I think honestly it’s the games I play, I don’t often have to swap between joysticks and buttons. After reading a few comments I tried the controller again and can see where people are coming from. I think I’m just used to playing on handhelds and the Nintendo switch that I’ve adapted

No problem, thank you for the opportunity

Yeah it’s a pretty cool device. I am mailing onward to another guy today, so further testing from me will be delayed until my personal one I’m planning to buy comes in (probably larger X1)

Thanks man, yeah it was a cool device to try out

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words

The pen feature would be pretty nice

No problem man, glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! I'm glad I had the opportunity to review it.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

No problem, glad you enjoyed

Just ally x, the 84wh battery is a heavy plus. Legion go vs x1- x1 wins (either variant).

I wish I got the chance, unfortunately I had to pass it forward to.tje next person already. I'll have more tests once i can purchase a 8840u

Those all sound pretty good. Only challenge with trackpad right now is the accidental presses when I hit space bar at times

I personally was cool with the controllers but after reading some comments I can see where people are coming from. I purposely didn’t watch any reviews or read input from others before the review to go in blind. I would personally like a little thicker grips

I had noticed that my connector had died a couple of times. Later I fully charged it and then it seemed fine. I will say I did not get a chance to test that part out further. I'll have to see with my Intel X1 if that is the case with the connector

@@okestgamer ya I mean it's kinda nuts how much of the battery gets discharged without it even being used, going unused a couple of days after being freshly fully charged and as soon as I turn it on the blue light starts flashing in those 1/2 sec intervals to indicate super low battery, it's kinda disheartening and a real bummer 😞

@@According2AshShow I’ll give this a test. I’m wondering if yours is defective or if it’s a larger issue.

@@okestgamer exactly what I've been wondering also, I was hoping to get a better sense of it after asking about ur experience with it, pls lemme kno the results of ur research after the experiment is complete 🤓😂

Nice! I’m leaning towards the larger X1 personally.

Just make the gaming session a part of your workout session and it’s all good lol

@@okestgamer Ha ha, I already wore out the left stick 😅. I'll probably need to locate a new part soon. You definitely get used to playing on the Mini without grips. Been playing the 1st descendant a lot. Frame Generation rocks.

I did, it worked great! I actually managed to damage one of the ribbon cable tabs due to a stupid mistake which is why I didn’t record the process. Fixed it with some redneck engineering and I’m back in business. Works great though. Grab the link from my “tighter joysticks” video for the legion Go. It will make a big difference

@@okestgamer thank you so much!!! I will do that. I just did a review on the x1 on my other channel called Gamer Vs Tech. The joysticks were my biggest complaint.

@@Elev8edtechking oh I’ll check it out. Drop the link. Best way to describe feeling with the tighter ones is that it feels similar to a steam deck

@@okestgamer youtube.com/@gamervstech?si=xLQfWzQMlTxdk29i

Nice, looks you’re well on your way for being a new channel

It is very similar to the ally and legion Go, maybe a couple frames above

Sorry missed your comment. I believe it was adjustable in the oneXconsole app

I'm looking to get a stylus to try this out. It's what I've been wondering as well.

These ones felt very tight, at least on my prototype

@@okestgamer which gb version did you test? 32 gb or 64gb? Do you think 32gb is enough for gaming?

I tested the 32gb. I think 32 is plenty

@@okestgamer sweet. I get the 32 gb tomorrow. Surprised to find the 8840 u version on Amazon where I live. Makes me feel way more comfortable with the return of if I have to. But I have many OXP devices and I’ve kept them all.

Yeah there are so many ways to test these, so you gotta pick one and run with it.

Depends on the game. I’ve been using the FSR 3 mod for a lot of my games when I play.

Naw 1080p makes a huge difference, stop selling yourself short with things you heard from some tech magazines to make people feel better about not getting 1080p on their 800 dollar portable.

@@sloth1992 handhelds cant handle new games at 1080p hence I said that... and even with frame gen you need atleast a locked 30 to get a smooth 60... 720p or Even 900p with 30 fps lock and lsfg is good for now... all these handheld consoles will get obsolete in a year or two with new demanding games coming in

Personally I like the feel of the controller on the connector, it's just oddly light compared to most controllers

Apparently is doesn't.

@@NoMoreLies365 eta prime did a video which shows it does

I can take a look

That part I haven't tested. I would suggest checking with the chimera team in their discord. Most likely they will know

I can’t speak to the win mini, but it does look pretty cool.

Personally I will skip mini 2024 because they removed the oculink port

@@roylee1134 yeah I'm not sure why they did that.

I’ve bought a few for the channel, they definitely aren’t cheap. Which one is your favourite?

@@okestgamer x1mini🔥im from Philippines money is hard.. But im a born gamer(my stress killer) im 46years old now and having tough time but still life must play lile a game.. Start pause play win

Okay I've reconsidered, now that BG3 is an FPS.

You're just salty that you missed out on ordering that one before the campaign ended

@@okestgamer "Obviously" - Snape

My guess would be weight, but it would be cool to have a larger battery.

4real if the dog ally x can do 80wh the next version of the 11" needs to have a 80-99wh.

@@antwoneb.9829 for real

cost

@@draco2xx naw thats not a real reason

It was the latest patch that introduced guns 😆. Thanks for pointing it out, I totally missed updating that title for Halo

Starting at $949 USD on the campaign page

They start at $949 USD. What currency are you looking at?

@@okestgamer Ohh yeah my fault, I was looking at the intel one. The amd one starts at $1,089.00. It's still too expensive. I got my used 512gb steam deck for 250eur.

Not a problem with FSR. Smaller resolution is grainy on miniature text in Rpgs.

But when doing other things like watching videos or web browsing it’s kinda nice.

@@okestgamer A phone is superior for that purpose, and much lighter.

@@CombatMonkey11B not for all of the secondary activities I use some of my handhelds for. I also play often attached to my egpu so 1600p ends up becoming handy in my use case.

@@okestgamer an EGPU will help nearly any of the handhelds dock up for higher resolution and better framerates. In handhelds mode though, which is the primary function, that’s a 1080p chip. Anything above that is a waste that spreads the GPU portion too thin in most modern games. I’m not saying the handheld itself is bad, just that a display like on the ROG Ally/X would leave more headroom. There’s no way to debate against that in raw game performance. We can argue all day about eGPUs and standalone monitors, but that’s not the typical use case. Very few people are spending $600 or much more on an eGPU so they can still be anchored to a desk.

No it's not a joke lol, it's a early first look review. With this review I get the device for a short period to do some testing and filming so the more detailed performance tests will need to wait until I get my device I'm purchasing. Fan noise is also entirely dependent on what settings you use, and if you set a custom fan curve. Closest comparison I can make is with the legion Go for the noise. First look reviews are literally that, a first look and some early testing. Detailed reviews I only put out after using a device for awhile to actually test it out fully. I suggest joining on of the weekly live streams hosted in the onexplayer discord to get more specific questions answered. I also hosted one for a couple of hours where we had gone through answering questions people had.

I try to do a mix of keeping settings basic, but also representing how people will actually use the device. Main thing is being transparent about settings

@@okestgamer Its good to get the real performance of the console and maybe do a separate segments with enhancement, this is a flaw lots of reviewers do.

@@nitmare64I’m calling FSR an enchantment from now on, thank you! 🪄

A lot of gamers will use some form of upscaling or frame gen whenever they are gaming on a PC handheld (at least in demanding AAA titles). That's simply because the SoC's are somewhat lacking when it comes to overall performance and the low amount of frame rates they typically put out. One saving grace about using upscaling on them, is that any artifacting that you typically get from using it, is far less visually noticible on thier smaller displays, than it is on a larger display. If anything, it's actually showing a good application of using upscaling. It's the kind of situation where upscaling should actually be used and where it is hugely beneficial for that extra boost to frame rates that it gives. So since most people will be using it, why on Earth wouldn't you show the typical kind of performance results that gamers could expect, when using it? Yep, I'd agree with you on a gaming/desktop PC with a dedicated GPU, where upscaling really isn't a nessesity and will often greatly skew any results. But on an PC heldheld, where upscaling is often a nessesity and where most people will likely be using it anyway, then I personally have no quarms when a review then shows off results, while using it.

I get that, they seem to refresh every 6 months. I’ve been doing RU-vid for just over a year and I started when the 6800 came out for handhelds, Now we have the 8840. Things move quick.
