The OneXPlayer OneXFly Apex handheld will also only have an 85Wh battery, which raises concerns over its huge potential power draw.

content_html

A hugely powerful gaming handheld has just been announced by OneXPlayer, with a GPU that's potentially more powerful than some of AMD's desktop graphics cards. The OneXFly Apex will also have a huge 120W TDP, which gives it access to at least four times more power than most of the portables in our best gaming handheld guide, enabling the AMD CPU and GPU to really stretch their legs. On top of this, the new OneXPlayer handheld will also sport an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the first of its handhelds to move on from the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 that has been popular with many brands over the last 12 months. This CPU not only features 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, but it also contains a surprisingly powerful Radeon 8060S GPU with 40 compute units, eight more than you get in the Radeon RX 7600, meaning there's huge scope for gaming at decent frame rates, especially at its maximum TDP of 120W (the default TDP is 55W). Comparatively, the GPU in the Steam Deck only has eight compute units, and an older architecture too - in terms of basic rendering, this handheld could have 5x the power.
