    OneXPlayer has finally revealed more details about its upcoming X2 Mini series handheld. First teased around six weeks ago, the X2 Mini has gained a Pro moniker for its global launch. Additionally, it has been joined by the OneXPlayer 3, full details of which we have covered separately.

    Overview and Core Specs

    To recap, the OneXPlayer X2 Mini Pro combines an 8.8-inch, 700-nit and 144 Hz VR OLED display with AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor. Reportedly, the handheld delivers up to 120 W of power to its processor and Radeon 8060S iGPU, too. As a result, OneXPlayer has returned to its 85 Wh external battery solution, which debuted with the OneXFly Apex (curr. $2,899 on Amazon).

    The Pro model also marks a return to some familiar design choices while expanding on cooling and performance options, which could influence how long you can game between charges. These specs paint a picture of a device that aims to bridge portable power with desktop-like performance, all in a handheld form factor.

    Cooling, Battery, and Connectivity

    Moreover, the X2 Mini Pro is compatible with OneXPlayer’s Frost Bay liquid cooling solution. However, the handheld departs from the Apex by featuring detachable controllers and a keyboard cover accessory. While OneXPlayer has confirmed that the X2 Mini Pro will launch on Indiegogo ‘in mid June 2026’, pricing remains unknown at this stage.

    The cooling option and detachable controls suggest a flexible approach to how players can interact with the device, potentially catering to both quick handheld sessions and more extended gaming marathons when the keyboard cover is used for a desktop-like setup.

    Related Updates and Context

    In the meantime, OneXPlayer has updated the OneXPlayer X1 Pro with AMD’s Ryzen AI 400 platform. Please see our launch article for more details. Fundamentally, the new device is the same as the older Ryzen AI 300-based model we reviewed in March 2025.

    As more information surfaces about the X2 Mini Pro, enthusiasts will be watching how the price unfolds and whether the Indiegogo campaign will offer appealing bundles or early-bird perks that make the device stand out in a crowded handheld market. The blend of high-refresh OLED, strong processor, and modular accessories could be a distinctive formula if executed well.
