Abxylute starts Kickstarter campaign for the affordable 7-inch One Pro gaming handheld

The Abxylute One Pro gaming handheld features a 7-inch, 1,920 x 1,080 LCD screen capable of 10-point multi-touch input and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. The system runs Android 13, with support for Google services such as the Play Store.

CPU and GPU

The handheld is powered by a MediaTek Genio 510 chip paired with 4 GB LPDDR4 RAM and 64 GB ROM, expandable via TF cards up to 2 TB. Its CPU has two Arm Cortex-A78 cores and four Arm Cortex-A55 cores, all running at 2.0 GHz.

Graphics are handled by an Arm Mali-G57 MC2 capable of hardware decoding of 4K 60 Hz AV1, H.265, H.264, and VP9 video streams. It can output 4K content to televisions and artificial reality (AR) glasses.

According to internal testing, the One Pro scores higher than original One and LG G Cloud handhelds in the AnTuTu, 3D Mark, and Geekbench 6 benchmarks, allowing the handheld to support smooth PlayStation 2 emulation and Genshin Impact gameplay.

Design

The One Pro features a semi-transparent black body with upgraded capacitive digital joysticks. These full-sized sticks do not suffer from the electromagnetic interference that affects Hall effect joysticks and provide a six-million-rotation lifespan with no drift. The 10 mm tall sticks are tuned to replicate the feel of an Xbox controller, with a 25-degree maximum tilt angle and 90 gf of resistance.

Both grips have anti-slip texture on the back to ensure a secure, comfortable grip across hours of gaming. Their internal linear z-axis motors provide adjustable rumble strength.

The upgraded stereo box speakers deliver richer sound quality and are paired with dual microphones, but gamers can still use headphones via the 3.5 mm audio jack or a Bluetooth connection for quiet play.

Other features

The One Pro supports Bluetooth and 802.11ac Wi-Fi connections (2T2R MU-MIMO) for streaming gameplay. Gamers can cast console and PC games to the handheld for remote gaming, or access cloud gaming services, such as Nvidia GeForce Now. An updated game launcher is included, with touchscreen mapping and other features planned.

The One Pro measures 250 x 115 x 30 mm (9.84 x 4.53 x 1.18 in.) and weighs 430 g (15.2 oz.). The internal 5,200 mAh battery powers the system for up to eight hours.

Pricing and availability

The first thirty super early bird buyers can buy the One Pro for $199, while other early birds can buy the handheld for $209. Current Abxylute One owners will receive a special link to buy the One Pro for $199, with no limit on quantities during the campaign.

The One Pro will be offered at the regular MSRP of $249 after the Kickstarter campaign ends (Abxylute store on Amazon), with shipments expected to begin after mid-May.
