The AMD Strix Point “Ryzen AI 300” powered ONEXFLY F1 Pro, which is the first gaming handheld to feature the chip, will retail for $1099.
ONEXFLY F1 Pro Becomes First Device to Integrate AMD Strix Point “Ryzen AI 300” APU But With a Hefty Price Tag
One-Netbook, a subsidiary of OneXPlayer, will release the first handheld device to debut with AMD’s “Strix Point” APU.
Given the relatively faster adoption witnessed by AMD’s Phoenix lineup, we expected Strix Point APUs to gain prominence in the handheld market, but that hasn’t happened to date. In a previous report, we discussed the ONEXFLY F1 Pro in depth and how the device is designed to revolutionize the industry with its gaming capabilities. And now, we have information about the starting price; From the looks of it, the ONEXFLY Pro is indeed an expensive device.
The handheld is available in several configurations, ranging from the Ryzen AI 9 365 to the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. It includes 32 GB of LPDDR5x-7200 memory, along with a storage capacity of 1 TB. If you’re looking for higher storage, the manufacturer is also offering a 2 TB variant which is expected to start at $1199 for the 365 and $1439 for the 370 variant. A 4 TB model is also listed with a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 that will start at $1699 US.
Overall, the price range for all configurations is above the $1000 US mark, which is no doubt a hefty amount to pay for a handheld, but considering the specs inside, this might not be a bad price.
For a quick overview of the ONEXFLY F1 Pro, the device offers a 7-inch 1080P 144Hz OLED display, again a unique advantage, along with a 48.5 Wh battery, which ensures stable battery time. Moreover, this device also offers 2x USB 4.0 connections, 1x USB-A 3.0, and a microSD card slot. This handheld device comes in a premium design, with a joystick with RGB lighting and the manufacturer’s logo on the side, which completes its appearance.
Recently, we were shown benchmarks around the performance of the ONEXFLY F1 Pro. It was revealed that the device managed to run Black Myth: Wukong at 50–60 FPS in 1080p low settings, which is certainly very good for a compact device of this kind. Overall, the ONEXFLY F1 Pro targets the high-end handheld market segment, perhaps being the fastest on the market, but the bigger question is whether its retail adoption will be the same compared to ASUS and MSI.
