OneXPlayer just made its most expensive handheld easier to buy. The X2 Mini Pro, the company’s 8.8 inch OLED gaming handheld built around AMD’s Strix Halo silicon, is now available to order directly from the OneXPlayer store rather than only through its Indiegogo campaign. Orders placed now are listed as pre-orders that ship in August, and the real headline isn’t the spec sheet. It’s the price. This is a premium 3-in-1 device that starts at $2,499, so it’s aiming at a very specific kind of buyer.

What You’re Actually Buying
The X2 Mini Pro is a 3-in-1 machine, which is the pitch OneXPlayer keeps coming back to. It works as a traditional gaming handheld. The controllers detach so you can hold them separately and use the screen as a tablet, and a magnetic keyboard turns the whole thing into a small laptop. Those controllers carry a full layout, with dual thumbsticks, a D-pad, four face buttons, shoulder buttons, triggers, and back buttons, plus switchable trigger modes.

The centerpiece is the 8.8 inch OLED display, a native landscape panel at 1,920 by 1,200 that runs at 144Hz with variable refresh and HDR. OneXPlayer lists peak brightness at 1,100 nits in HDR, though that’s a small-window HDR peak, with the panel’s typical full-screen output rated lower.
The Chip Is the Controversy
Under the shell sits AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 388, an 8 core, 16 thread Strix Halo processor with Radeon 8060S integrated graphics. AMD rates the graphics at a 55W default, and OneXPlayer exposes a configurable range from 45W up to 120W, so sustained performance leans heavily on cooling and power mode. On the AI side, the platform is quoted at around 118 TOPS, which is why OneXPlayer keeps pitching local AI work alongside gaming.

Here’s the part backers noticed. OneXPlayer originally teased the X2 Mini Pro with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, a 16 core, 32 thread chip. The shipping version uses the 388, which cuts the core count to 8 and trims the cache. Both chips share the same Radeon 8060S graphics, so gaming should land in a similar place, but the quiet swap from 16 cores to 8 didn’t sit well with people who pledged early. If multi-core CPU work matters to you, that difference is worth understanding before you order.
Memory, Storage, and Ports
Configurations start at 48GB of LPDDR5X memory and scale up to 64GB running at 8000 MT/s, which is a lot of memory for a handheld and part of why the price climbs so fast. Storage runs up to a 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 SSD, and OneXPlayer adds a secondary Mini SSD slot for expansion. The body includes USB 3.2 Type-A, USB 3.2 Type-C, and a faster USB 4 port, so docking and external displays are on the table.
Cooling and Battery
OneXPlayer sells the X2 Mini Pro in a standard air-cooled version and a liquid-cooled version. The liquid-cooled model is built to pair with the Frost Bay external cooling dock, which aims to squeeze out more sustained performance when you’re plugged in at a desk. Power comes from an 85Wh external battery, which is large by handheld standards, though a chip this hungry will still test how long you can stay unplugged. Battery life on Strix Halo handhelds is the open question no spec sheet answers, so wait for real-world testing before you count on long runtime.
What It Costs
This is what most buyers will fixate on. Ordered direct from OneXPlayer, the X2 Mini Pro starts at $2,499 for the 48GB and 1TB model, which the company lists as a discount from a $2,699 MSRP. Moving up to 64GB of memory and 2TB of storage raises the price, and the liquid-cooled versions add more on top. The earlier Indiegogo campaign opened a little lower, near $2,399 for the base model, so ordering direct now costs slightly more than the crowdfunding price did. Either way, this sits far above mainstream handhelds, and it’s squarely enthusiast money. All configurations are listed to ship in August.

Who Should Actually Order One
The X2 Mini Pro isn’t trying to be your first handheld. It’s a high-end, do-everything device for someone who wants a single machine that games, works, and converts into a tablet or laptop, and who is willing to pay flagship-laptop money to get it. The OLED screen, the detachable design, and the 64GB memory ceiling are genuinely strong. The open questions are sustained performance, battery life, and whether the 388 delivers enough to justify the cost after the 395 was pulled. If you want one, you can order direct now, but there’s no harm in waiting for full reviews before you commit that kind of spend.
