Groundbreaking Ryzen AI 300 Gaming Handheld Available for Preorder at $1,699 — High-End OneXFly F1 Pro Features Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 64GB RAM, and 4TB SSD

High-end PC handhelds are just around the corner, and gamers looking for cutting-edge technology will be thrilled to hear that OneXPlayer’s OneXFly F1 Pro, the world’s first gaming handheld leveraging AMD’s Ryzen AI 300, is now available for presale. This exciting opportunity lasts until the end of November, according to OneXPlayer’s official store.

The OneXFly F1 Pro is positioned to compete fiercely with the likes of the Asus ROG Ally X, particularly with its high-performing Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 model. Interestingly, even the Ryzen AI 9 365 variant promises to outperform the previous generation within the same power constraints—a topic I’ll dive into shortly.

For those ready to buy, you can choose from six configurations of the OneXFly F1 Pro during the presale. Only two models—one featuring the Ryzen AI 9 365, and one packing the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370—are available. With the 365 variant, the decision boils down to storage: either a 1TB or a 2TB option starting at $1,099. If you’re eyeing a powerhouse, the HX 370 models range from 1TB to 4TB of storage with either 32GB or 64GB of RAM, starting at $1,339.

Both models feature the same 7-inch, 1080p OLED display that refreshes at 144 Hz and can crank up to 800 nits in brightness, ensuring vibrant colors and stark contrasts perfect for HDR and visually dynamic scenes. In comparison, the Steam Deck OLED—which hits 1000 nits but maxes out at a 90 Hz refresh rate and a lower 1280 x 800 resolution—offers a trade-off that might sway certain gamers. The smarter resolution and refresh rate combination from OneXPlayer might actually enhance gameplay in demanding titles, especially with stronger support for FSR across both Windows and Linux.

Although the most detailed benchmarks for the OneXFly F1 Pro presently come directly from OneXPlayer, the results align with expectations based on the device’s specs. The Ryzen AI 9 365 model stands out, surpassing older models watt-for-watt, highlighting improvements from RDNA 3 to RDNA 3.5 with its Radeon 880M iGPU.

Considering how it checks many boxes for a premium handheld, the OneXFly F1 Pro is an attractive option until similar devices with comparable internals emerge. However, it’s important to note that while the OneXFly F1 Pro includes useful USB4 ports, they might not fully support the bandwidth and latency needed for optimal external GPU performance. This means it can act as a dockable handheld gaming PC, but maybe not quite as powerfully as you might hope at its price.

Speaking of price, the presale models start at $1,099 and $1,399, depending on the CPU. Whether these performance upgrades are worth the extra dollars over the $799 Asus ROG Ally X—or even the $549 Steam Deck OLED—is up to you. We can’t make that decision, but we can equip you with the knowledge to make an informed choice. If you’re all about having the best portable PC gaming possible today, the OneXFly F1 Pro might just be worth your investment.

Of course, if you’re hesitant, you might want to wait for more reviews or new competitors. But remember, these prices are set to climb once the presale ends.
