ONEXPLAYER ONEXFLY Gaming Handheld Gets a Refresh with Upgraded AMD Ryzen APU
One-Netbook has given its ONEXFLY gaming handheld a noteworthy upgrade, swapping out the previous generation's Ryzen 7 7840U for the newer Ryzen 7 8840U APU. While the physical design remains unchanged, the new APU promises performance gains in certain areas.
Key Takeaways:
- Modest Performance Boost: Benchmarks suggest a marginal 3% performance improvement over the Ryzen 7 7840U.
- Same GPU, Different Generation: Both APUs feature the Radeon 780M iGPU, so significant gains in GPU-intensive tasks like AAA gaming are unlikely.
- Price Hike and Configuration Changes: The updated ONEXFLY now starts at $999 for a 32GB RAM and 1TB storage configuration, a significant jump from the original $739 launch price for a 16GB/512GB model.
- No 64GB RAM Option (Yet): While a 2TB storage option is available, a 64GB RAM configuration is not currently offered.
Analysis:
The upgrade to the Ryzen 7 8840U brings the ONEXFLY in line with the latest APU generation, but the real-world performance difference appears minimal. Gamers primarily focused on AAA titles might not see a compelling reason to upgrade. However, the increased base storage and RAM in the new entry-level model are welcome additions.
