The OneXPlayer X2 marks a shift in design philosophy for the brand's latest generation of handheld gaming devices. The company introduced this new model as a direct successor to the previous X1, moving away from traditional clamshell layouts. This change targets users who prefer tablet-style ergonomics with detachable input controls.
Tablet-style design meets swappable battery in new handheld lineup
OneXPlayer revealed two distinct products built around Intel's upcoming Panther Lake handheld APU. The primary device is the OneXPlayer X2, which adopts a slate form factor similar to modern tablets. It utilizes a mechanism that allows controllers to detach from the main body for flexible play styles.
