OneXPlayer 2 Pro gaming handheld, tablet or detachable in review: multifaceted device with strong Ryzen 7
We already tested the OneXPlayer 2. Now we are testing the Pro version with the much stronger Ryzen 7 7840U. In our review, the versatile handheld shows strengths in gaming and outside. Thanks to the 32 GB memory and the 1 TB NVMe SSD, the OneXPlayer 2 Pro is able to excel outside the gaming space. The removable controller and magnetically attached keyboard make the device interesting as a mini laptop or tablet PC.
In our review, we show that the Ryzen 7840U makes entry level dGPUs obsolete. It helps the OneXPlayer to perform well as a gaming device. On the go or at home, it delivers playable FPS levels in many recent titles of our Steam library in FHD or UHD.
The OneXPlayer has to contend with strong competitors. Among the handhelds, it is hard to avoid devices like the Lenovo Legion Go, the Asus Rog Ally Z1 Extreme and the Ayaneo Kun.

Chassis and connectivity
From the outside, it looks like there are no changes to the OneXPlayer 2 Pro. The device is available in either white or black with orange accents. In general, the gaming handheld is a solid device, though it is mostly made out of plastic. The negatives that we found with the OneXPlayer 2 are true for the pro variant as well. The connection to the controllers has some unwanted wobble, though they are also much more easy to move than the Lenovo Legion Go. If you take of the controller of the OneXPlayer, they do not stay connected with the tablet. Another accessory, the controller connector, is needed for untethered gaming.
As with many other handhelds, the is no webcam here. The review device was part of a bundle that also included the keyboard. It is attached magnetically to the tablet, connected via pogo-pins. This however also renders the USB C 3.2 ports at the bottom of the OneXPlayer Pro useless. Overll, the OneXPlayer 2 Pro can serve as a tablet, gaming handheld or detachable laptop. For some color, there are the orange LEDs around the two thumbsticks and at the bottom of the controller halves.
The WiFi solution works well in the 5 and 6 GHz networks and the microSD card reader is fast, too. Our Angelbird AV PRO microSD is able to transmit up to 280 MB/s. In the OneXPlayer 2 Pro, it reaches values of up to 251 MB/s. This is a value only few laptops in our database can reach.
Size comparison
Below the size of the OneXPlayer 2 is listed in its handheld configuration. Without controllers, the Tablet measures 20 x 12.7 x 2 cm. With the attached and tucked away keyboard, the OneXPlayer 2 has a detachable-footprint of 20 x 13.1 x 2.5 cm.

Maintenance
It is possible to open the OneXPlayer 2 Pro, but we were not able to go further than removing the back. To get to that point, we had to remove many screws, located on all four sides of the device and the back. The controllers have to be removed, as there is a screw cover beneath them as well as beneath two removable covers on top and the bottom of the device. In the inside, we could not get further, as the screws that secure the heat spreader on the mainboard are screwed in very tightly and securely. At least we could take a look at the big battery, the fan, the daughter board of the keyboard and controller connectors as well as the speakers and WiFi antennas. When opening the device, the magnets of the keyboard attachment also interfered. They are much less well secured than the screws of the heat spreader.
Input devices
There are a few gaming handhelds with a built in keyboard, but these are not really suitable for fast touch-typing according to our experience. The keyboard of the GPD Win 4 is much smaller than the one of the OneXPlayer 2 Pro and has nearly no key travel. The magnetic keyboard here is the first usable on a gaming handheld keyboard, if you want to input more than a few sentences in chat. Keys are not quite the same as on a normal laptop keyboard, but the typing feel and 2 mm of key travel deliver a good typing experience. In sharp contrast, the small and wobbly touchpad disappoints. You are able to use it, but it is less than ergonomic. When clicking, the pointer often jumps around, making drag and drop impossible. Just using the touchscreen is the better option. If you so desire, OneNetbook bundles a digitizer pen with the OneXPlayer, making the device even more versatile.
More important than the keyboard and touchpad for a gaming handheld: the built in controller. As mentioned, both halves do not sit completely securely when connected with the tablet unit, there is some wobble. We did not find this very irritating when gaming. The keys and triggers have a similar haptic feeling as a Dualshock 4 controller. The thumbsticks are precise and easy to use and reliably find the neutral position. With the shoulder keys, we wish there was slightly more resistance. For untethered usage, the accessory Controller Connector is needed. This carries a small USB 2.4 GHz connector, which has to be inserted into the OneXPlayer 2 or other devices to make the controller connect. It works flawlessly up to seven meters away in our test. All inputs are translated without any noticeable latency.
Software
The OneXPlayer 2 Pro is delivered with a nearly clean Windows 11 install. Only the Gamer Zone, an app to regulate the performs of the device, is preinstalled. In the review of the OneXPlayer 2, we criticized the program. Luckily, OneNetbook has reworked the Gamer Zone. It does not look impressive, but it now works better with full screen games. The gaming handheld also has a new custom GUI for games, but this is not very useful. The gaming handheld is not very well optimized for touchscreen usage.
Another negative: The assignment of the X1 and X2 keys on top of the tablet, when they are used to regulate the speaker volume. The left key turns the volume up, the right one lowers if - not intuitive.
A well thought out alternative to the preinstalled software is the Handheld Control Panel, which is available at GitHub for download for free. This application is more versatile and better designed than OneNetbook's software.
Display
With 311 cd/m², the screen of the OneXPlayer 2 Pro is darker than it was in the preceding model and much less bright than the competition by Lenovo, Ayaneo and Asus. The panel used here has an improved color gamut coverage than before, covering the sRGB gamut. Like in all tested handhelds, this devices uses a vertical tablet panel, which is built in with horizontally. The screen is refreshed left to right instead of top to bottom, which can impact font in a negative way.

Ex factory, the screen of the OneXPlayer has a noticeable blue tint. Our ICC profile corrects this, improving the subjective color accuracy a lot. deltaE 2000 1.53 is an almost professional level of color accuracy after calibrating. There should not be any discoloration visible to the naked eye.

The viewing angle stability of the OneXPlayer is good, though not quite as good as we are used to for IPS panels. Viewed from certain angles, the brightness and contrast lowers substantially. During normal use, this is not a real problem. Outdoor usage however is almost impossible, as the glossy screen can barely overpower reflections when the sky is cloudy.
Performance
Like most recent gaming handhelds, the OneXPlayer 2 Pro is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U. It is accompanied by the strong Radeon 780M iGPU, which is well versed for gaming. The handheld can be configured with one or two TB of mass storage. 32 GB LPDDR5 RAM is present in both configurations. As we noticed with the Ayaneo Kun, the AMD APU combined with a lot of memory offers enough performance to handle most tasks. This device is not limited to gaming.
Testing conditions
The Gamer Zone enables users to set the TDP of the Ryzen 7 in the OneXPlayer 2 Pro between 4 and 30 W. We left it at 30 W and did not modify the fan mode either. Compared with the preceding review with the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, the processor in this unit can consume up to two watts more.
Processor
The AMD Ryzen 7 7840U is a high end APU with eight cores and 16 threads. The iGPU of this processor is one of the strongest on the market, the Radeon 780M convinces in our tests with a strong performance.
Almost identical is the AMD Z1 Extreme. This APU is used in the ROG Ally Z1 Extreme and the Lenovo Legion Go. With 30 W in the OneXPlayer 2 Pro, the Ryzen 7 can deliver the same performance as the Z1 Extreme in the Legion Go. In some benchmarks, this is exemplified by equal or even better results for the OneXPlayer. The RAM however is much slower in comparison, lowering the benchmark scores. The strong processor of the OneXPlayer 2 Pro is not able to deliver full performance, but it still delivers good results.

System performance
In the system performance benchmarks, the slow RAM shows. We observed a similar effect a short while ago in the review of the Ayaneo Kun. Despite this gaming handheld using the same strong Ryzen 7 7840U, the comparably slow memory lowers performance there as well.
The OneXPlayer 2 Pro shows a great performance in everyday use. It is well suitable for office usage, streaming, browsing and many other usages. The core task of the gaming handheld will be playing games, and users have to make no sacrifices there.

DPC latency
Problems with the DPC latencies? Not in case of the OneXPlayer 2 Pro. It showed no issues during the standardized test of surfing, streaming and stress test with Prime95. Still, during streaming a one minute 4K60Hz Youtube videos, 290 frames were dropped.

Mass storage
The SSD of the OneXPlayer is the fastest in the comparison. The high performance is also not impacted by sustained load. Sadly, we can not determine which SSD is used here. In the device manager, the SSD is just registered as NVMe SSD with Phison controller. Since we can not open up the OneXPlayer 2 Pro further, we can not look at the labels either.
