ONE XPLAYER Mini - A Handheld Gaming PC Overview

For users who like to play games with handheld consoles, they should know that a handheld console with a good gaming experience should contain the following elements: flagship performance, portable size, powerful battery life, and a "non-specific" system. However, in the current domestic game handheld market, there are not many handheld products that can integrate all the above requirements. The domestic brand ONE-NETBOOK launched a new product ONE XPLAYER Mini version on December. In fact, this is an upgrade from the previous version. On the basis of continuing the performance configuration, the size and weight of the machine have been reduced, and the system software, battery life, heat dissipation, etc. have also been upgraded. So what are the features of this newly released handheld? Let's take a look together.

Everyday, you can play games on the bus, subway commuting, airport, and train station on business trips. What is the concept of 589g? Here you can compare it with the Steam Deck handheld.
