Aokzoe A1X revealed to be launching soon to rival Asus ROG Ally X and other powerful gaming handhelds
Months have passed since Aokzoe last discussed its A1X gaming handheld, which has also been referred to previously as the A1 X. In the interim, rivals like Ayaneo, GPD and OneXPlayer have released competing options like the Ayaneo 3, GPD Win Mini 2025 and the OneXFly F1 Pro (curr. $1,439 on Amazon) to name but a few.
Undeterred, Aokzoe has now confirmed that it will be financing the A1X via Kickstarter. While a preview of the device's campaign page is now live, Aokzoe has only committed to launching the handheld 'soon'. On top of that, the company has reiterated that the A1X will eventually ship with the following specifications:
- 8-inch native landscape display, 120 Hz refresh rate, VRR support
- AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU
- LPDDR5X-7500 RAM/PCIe 4.0 SSD
- 72.7 Wh battery
- OCuLink and dual USB4 connectivity
On top of that, the A1X will support passthrough charging to limit wear and tear on its battery when gaming and charging simultaneously. Also, the device will be capable of limiting maximum charge limits to as little as 50%. Given how efficient the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has proven in games compared to the Ryzen 7 8840U and Ryzen Z1 Extreme, we suspect the Aokzoe A1X will achieve longer runtimes than the ROG Ally X and other large-battery gaming handhelds. Unfortunately, pricing for Aokzoe's latest gaming handheld remains unknown for now.
