Two AMD Strix Halo chips will sit at the heart of the OneXPlayer X2 Mini Pro, and the choice between them is the most interesting decision the device asks buyers to make. The top configuration uses the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 16 Zen 5 cores and 32 threads, while a new entry, the Ryzen AI Max+ 388, halves that to 8 cores and 16 threads. Both keep the full 40 compute unit Radeon 8060S integrated GPU, so the cheaper 388 feeds the same graphics hardware with fewer CPU cores competing for the power envelope.

That envelope is unusually large for a handheld. The X2 Mini Pro advertises up to a 120W TDP, reachable through an optional Frost Bay external liquid cooling module that clamps onto the chassis. Driving it is a 22.4 cm (8.8 inch) native landscape OLED panel running at 144Hz with variable refresh rate and a rated 700 nits of brightness. Power comes from an 85Wh external battery that detaches and swaps, and storage expands through microSD plus a mini SSD slot, alongside USB4 Type-C connectivity.

The controls lean modular. The Hall effect sticks, stacked shoulder buttons, adjustable triggers, and an interchangeable D-pad all sit on fully detachable controllers, and an optional magnetic backlit keyboard cover turns the unit into a small laptop. OneXPlayer is positioning that flexibility as a 3-in-1 pitch, switching between handheld, tablet, and laptop modes.

The X2 Mini Pro ships with Windows and the OneXConsole launcher, but the Radeon 8060S is now well-traveled territory on Linux. Bazzite, the Fedora Atomic gaming image with a SteamOS-style game mode, recently added official support for the GPD Win 5, the first Strix Halo handheld to get a sanctioned build, and SteamOS 3.8 already runs on Ryzen AI Max+ 395 systems. A configuration HID driver contributed by a Valve engineer and queued for Linux 7.2 adds RGB lighting controls, vibration intensity, and button remapping for OneXPlayer handhelds at the kernel level. Anyone planning to wipe Windows for a controller-first Linux setup has a maturing software stack to land on, since the same RDNA 3.5 graphics and Zen 5 cores underpin every device in this class.

The Indiegogo campaign opens on 2026-06-14, with pricing not yet announced. A second device, the OneXPlayer 3, is expected to launch its own campaign later in June.
