Due to the 32 GB reminiscence and the 1 TB NVMe SSD, the OneXPlayer 2 Professional is in a position to excell outdoor the gaming area. The detachable controller and magnetically hooked up keyboard make the instrument fascinating as a mini computer or pill PC.
In our evaluate, we display that the Ryzen 7840U makes access degree dGPUs out of date. It is helping the OneXPlayer to accomplish smartly as a gaming instrument. At the pass or at house, it delivers playable FPS ranges in lots of fresh titles of our Steam library in FHD or UHD.
The OneXPlayer has to take care of sturdy competition. A number of the handhelds, it’s exhausting to keep away from units just like the Lenovo Legion Cross, the Asus Rog Best friend Z1 Excessive and the Ayaneo Kun.
From the outdoor, it seems like there are not any adjustments to the OneXPlayer 2 Professional. The instrument is to be had in both white or black with orange accents. Typically, the gaming hand-held is a forged instrument, although it’s most commonly made from plastic. The negatives that we discovered with the OneXPlayer 2 are true for the professional variant as smartly. The relationship to the controllers has some undesirable wobble, although they’re additionally a lot more simple to transport than the Lenovo Legion Cross. If you are taking of the controller of the OneXPlayer, they don’t keep hooked up with the pill. Every other accent, the controller connector, is wanted for untethered gaming.
As with many different handhelds, the is not any webcam right here. The reviw instrument used to be a part of a package that still incorporated the keyboard. It is connected magnetically to the pill, hooked up by way of pogo-pins. This on the other hand additionally renders the USB C 3.2 ports on the backside of the OneXPlayer Professional needless. Overll, the OneXPlayer 2 Professional can function a pill, gaming hand-held or removable computer. For some colour, there are the orange LEDs across the two thumbsticks and on the backside of the controller halfs.
The WiFi resolution works smartly within the 5 and six GHz networks and the microSD card reader is rapid, too. Our Angelbird AV PRO microSD is in a position to transmit as much as 280 MB/s. Within the OneXPlayer 2 Professional, it reaches values of as much as 251 MB/s. This can be a price handiest few laptops in our database can achieve.
Under the dimensions of the OneXPlayer 2 is indexed in its hand-held configuration. With out controllers, the Pill measures 20 x 12.7 x 2 cm. With the hooked up and tucked away keyboard, the OneXPlayer 2 has a detachable-footpringt of 20 x 13.1 x 2.5 cm.
It’s imaginable to open the OneXPlayer 2 Professional, however we weren’t ready to move additional than taking out the again. To get to that time, we had to take away many screws, situated on all 4 aspects of the instrument and the again. The controllers must be got rid of, as there’s a screw duvet underneath them in addition to underneath two detachable covers on most sensible and the ground of the instrument. Within the inside of, lets now not get additional, because the screws that protected the headspreader at the mainboard are screwed in very tightly and securely. No less than lets check out the massive battery, the fan, the daugther board of the keyboard and controller connectors in addition to the audio system and WiFi antennas. When opening the instrument, the magnets of the keyboard attachment additionally interfered. They’re much much less smartly secured than the scres of the heatspreader.
There are a couple of gaming handhelds with a in-built keyboard, however those don’t seem to be in point of fact appropriate for quick touch-typing in step with our enjoy. The keyboard of the GPD Win 4 is way smaller than the one of the vital OneXPlayer 2 Professional and has just about no key trip. The magnetic keyboard this is the primary usable on a gaming hand-held keyboard, if you wish to enter quite a lot of sentences in chat. Keys don’t seem to be moderately the similar as on a standard computer keyboard, however the typing really feel and a couple of mm of key trip ship a just right typing enjoy. In sharp distinction, the small and wobbly touchpad disappoints. You’ll be able to use it, however it’s not up to ergonomic. When clicking, the pointer ceaselessly jumps round, making drag and drop unattainable. Simply the usage of the touchscreen is the simpler possibility. In case you so want, OneNetbook bundles a digitizer pen with the OneXPlayer, making the instrument much more flexible.
Extra vital than the keyboard and touchpad for a gaming hand-held: the in-built controller. As discussed, each halves don’t sit down totally securely when hooked up with the pill unit, there’s some wobble. We didn’t to find this very frustrating when gaming. The keys and triggers have a identical haptic feeling as a Dualshock 4 controller. The thumbsticks are exact and simple to make use of and reliably to find the impartial place. With the shoulderkeys, we would like there used to be moderately extra resistance. For untethered useage, the accent Controller Connector is wanted. This carries a small USB 2.4 GHz connector, which needs to be inserted into the OneXPlayer 2 or different units to make the controller attach. It really works flawlessly as much as seven meters away in our check. All inputs are translated with none noticable latency.
The OneXPlayer 2 Professional is delivered with a just about blank Home windows 11 set up. Handiest the Gamer Zone, an app to control the plays of the instrument, is preinstalled. Within the evaluate of the OneXPlayer 2, we criticized this system. Happily, OneNetbook has remodeled the Gamer Zone. It does now not glance spectacular, but it surely now works higher with complete display screen video games. The gaming hand-held additionally has a brand new customized GUI for video games, however this isn’t very helpful. The gaming hand-held isn’t really well optimized for touchscreen utilization.
Every other detrimental: The project of the X1 and X2 keys on most sensible of the pill, when they’re used to control the speaker quantity. The left key turns the quantity up, the proper one lowers if – now not intuitive.
A smartly concept out choice to the preinstalled instrument is the Hand-held Keep an eye on Panel, which is to be had at GitHub for obtain at no cost. This software is extra flexible and higher designed than OneNetbook’s instrument.
With 311 cd/m², the display screen of the OneXPlayer 2 Professional is darker than it used to be within the previous type and far much less brilliant than the contest via Lenovo, Ayaneo and Asus. The panel used right here has an advanced colour gamut protection than sooner than, overlaying the sRGB gamut. Like in all examined handhelds, this units makes use of a vertical pill panel, which is in-built with horizontally. The display screen is refreshed left to proper as a substitute of most sensible to backside, which is able to have an effect on font in a detrimental approach.
Ex manufacturing facility, the display screen of the OneXPlayer has a noticeable blue tint. Our ICC profile corrects this, making improvements to the subjective colour accuracy so much. deltaE 2000 1.53 is a virtually skilled degree of colour accuracy after calibrating. There must now not be any discoloration visual to the bare eye.
The viewing perspective balance of the OneXPlayer is just right, although now not moderately as just right as we’re used to for IPS panels. Seen from sure angles, the brightness and distinction lowers considerably. All the way through commonplace use, this isn’t an actual drawback. Out of doors utilization on the other hand is nearly unattainable, because the shiny display screen can slightly overpower reflections when the sky is cloudy.
Like most up-to-date gaming handheds, the OneXPlayer 2 Professional is powered via the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U. It’s accompanied via the sturdy Radeon 780M iGPU, which is easily versed for gaming. The hand-held will also be configured with one or two TB of mass garage. 32 GB LPDDR5 RAM is found in each configurations. As we spotted with the Ayaneo Kun, the AMD APU mixed with a large number of reminiscence provides sufficient efficiency to take care of maximum duties. This instrument isn’t restricted to gaming.
The Gamer Zone permits customers to set the TDP of the Ryzen 7 within the OneXPlayer 2 Professional between 4 and 30 W. We left it at 30 W and didn’t regulate the fan mode both. In comparison with the previous evaluate with the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, the processor on this unit can devour as much as two watts extra.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7840U is a prime finish APU with 8 cores and 16 threads. The iGPU of this processor is among the most powerful available on the market, the Radeon 780M convinces in our assessments with a powerful efficiency.
Nearly an identical is the AMD Z1 Excessive. This APU is used within the ROG Best friend Z1 Excessive and the Lenovo Legion Cross. With 30 W within the OneXPlayer 2 Professional, the Ryzen 7 can ship the similar efficiency because the Z1 Excessive within the Legion Cross. In some benchmarks, that is exemplified via equivalent and even higher effects for the OneXPlayer. The RAM on the other hand is way slower when put next, decreasing the benchmark rankings. The sturdy processor of the OneXPlayer 2 Professional isn’t ready to ship complete efficiency, but it surely nonetheless devliers just right effects.
Within the machine efficiency benchmarks, the gradual RAM presentations. We seen a identical impact a twinkling of an eye in the past within the evaluate of the Ayaneo Kun. Regardless of this gaming hand-held the usage of the similar sturdy Ryzen 7 7840U, the comparably gradual reminiscence lowers efficiency there as smartly.
The OneXPlayer 2 Professional presentations an excellent efficiency in on a regular basis use. It’s smartly appropriate for administrative center utilization, streaming, surfing and plenty of different usages. The core process of the gaming hand-held shall be enjoying video games, and customers need to make no sacrifices there.
Issues of the DPC latencies? Now not in case of the OneXPlayer 2 Professional. It confirmed no problems all the way through the standardized check of browsing, streaming and rigidity check with Prime95. Nonetheless, all the way through streaming a one minute 4K60Hz Youtube movies, 290 frames had been dropped.
The SSD of the OneXPlayer is the quickest within the comparability. The prime efficiency may be now not impacted via sustained load. Unfortunately, we will be able to now not resolve which SSD is used right here. Within the instrument supervisor, the SSD is simply registered as NVMe SSD with Phison controller. Since we will be able to now not open up the OneXPlayer 2 Professional additional, we will be able to now not have a look at the labels both.
A number of the iGPUs, handiest the Intel Arc iGPU can fit the Radeon 780M within the OneXPlayer 2 Professional. Each iGPUs are ready to outperform Nvidia’s access degree GPUs. The GTX 1650 and the RTX 2050 are slower than the fashionable iGPUs, relying on TDP. A dear devoted GPU isn’t essentially wanted anymore. This each lowers the cost of the instrument and its energy intake.
The OneXPlayer 2 Professional isn’t as sturdy because the lately reviewed Ayaneo Kun, however it could actually compete with the Lenovo Legion Cross. The efficiency of the iGPU is within the anticipated vary, because the Legion Cross additionally feeds its Z1 Excessive 30 W. Each AMD chips use the similar GPU.
The framerates within the reviewed video games are within the expectedly just right space. As the opposite examined handhelds, the OneXPlayer 2 Professional presentations an excellent efficiency with regards to gaming. FHD settings and prime graphics constancy are treated with out a issues. If any individual needs to make use of the total display screen solution, handiest AMD FSR can most likely do this process.
For the reason that Lenovo Legion Cross and the OneXPlayer 2 Professional are configured with the similar TDP, it’s truthful to check each units immediately. The 2 gaming handhelds don’t seem to be simply identical in thought, they’re additionally identical on the subject of noise. The Legion Cross is moderately much less loud when underneath complete load. In on a regular basis utilization, the variation of two to a few dB(a) will not be going to be noticeable.
Like with the Lenovo Legion Cross, the OneXPlayer 2 Professional presentations off the benefit of the detachable controllers. They most commonly keep at room temperature all the way through the assessments, as they don’t warmth up via themselves. The outside temperatures of the entire hand-held keep in an appropriate vary. We measure 47 levels Celsius.
The audio system of the hand held had been tuned with Harman AudioEFX in step with OneNetbook. A number of the gaming handhelds we reviewed to this point, the OneXPlayer 2 Professional has the most efficient sound. The audio system are tough and feature some base to them, too.
The utmost energy intake of the hand held sits at 55 W. When idling, it levels between 7 and 12 W. The 100 W USB C charger is simply anyplace close to capability. Handiest when charging the battery, the charger is sensible, because it provides as much as 30 W doing so. When charging, the ability intake of the instrument sits at 87 W.
The battery of the OneXPlayer 2 Professional has a capability of 65 Wh. This implies the capability of the battery is 10 Wh smaller when put next with the battery of the Ayaneo Kun. The battery lifetime of each units within the assessments is just about an identical regardless. The OneXPlayer makes use of a trick to achive this. Whilst the Kun holds its efficiency secure, the OneXPlayer 2 Professional limits its efficiency tremendously when the battery lifestyles degree is under 20 %. Within the Witcher 3 check, the gaming hand-held manages 1:14 hours of battery lifestyles. The efficiency restricting level is reached after 1:12 h. With the discharging price of 44 W, the battery voltage lowers to the emptying voltage. The battery handiest would have lasted a couple of extra mins underneath complete load, playable body charges don’t seem to be manageable from this level on. For this reason we made up our minds to position in 1:12 h as the outcome for Witcher 3.
The efficiency is proscribed within the WiFi websurging check as smartly. That’s not in point of fact noticeable whilst browsing although, it simply way the instrument consumes much less and lasts longer than the Ayaneo Kun.
The OneXPlay 2 Professional is an excessively flexible instrument. As a gaming hand-held, it could actually compete simply in opposition to the sturdy pageant. When it comes to battery lifestyles, sound and port variety, the OneXPlay 2 Professional outcompetes the Lenovo Legion Cross. The now not in point of fact brilliant display screen of the OneXPlay 2 Professional may well be a small deal-breaker for some, however the instrument has benefits that no different hand-held can fit. First, we need to name out the keyboard, which is a lot more usable than to begin with assumed. The non-compulsory pen makes this a a lot more productivity-focused PC. The equipment change into the OneXPlay 2 Professional into an excessively compact computer, Home windows pill or removable. We expect, the concept that of the OneXPlay 2 Professional works. When it comes to efficiency, it’s kind of equivalent with the Legion Cross.
The idea that of the OneXPlay 2 Professional works. Whether or not as a gaming hand-held or a mini computer, the instrument is usable. It provides, due to its sturdy {hardware} and usable equipment, various techniques of the usage of it, which will also be got rid of from the subject of gaming.
Just like the Lenovo Legion Cross, the pill unit of the OneXPlayer is lovely thick. The detachable controllers appear much less helpful, because of their lacking connection to the pill. At the upside, the controller connector works with the OneXPlayer, but in addition with each and every different PC, making them extra helpful this fashion. Recreation Zone does smartly anough because the app you utilize to regulate the efficiency, however unfastened instrument like the hand held regulate panel be offering extra options. We don’t see many giant negatives with the OneXPlayer 2 Professional, so long as the extra equipment are purchased with it. In lots of on-line retail outlets and likewise from the producer itself, the instrument is bundled with a sleeve, the magnetic keyboard and the controller connector. The equipment price $50 further.
The associated fee may well be the largest susceptible level of this instrument. For $1,017 (€940), as the hand held is obtainable with equipment, it’s a long way above the Lenovo Legion Cross (€800). The OneXPlayer 2 Professional has a larger SSD, extra reminiscence and a keyboard – but in addition a smaller, much less brilliant display screen with simply 60 as a substitute of 144 Hz and no RGB lighting fixtures. We additionally leave out the FPS mode of the Legion Cross – although we did understand in our fresh evaluate that even that doesn’t paintings completely. Costlier, however extra tough is the Ayaneo Kun, which is to be had with as much as 64 GB DDR5 RAM. On this hand-held, the Ryzen 7 7840U provides the most efficient efficiency general.
The OneXPlayer 2 Professional is obtainable for $949 these days. The examined package prices $1.017 in the OneXPlayer retailer. Amazon provides the instrument for $1,199.
