AOKZOE has provided further details about its upcoming gaming handheld, the A1 X, which is powered by AMD‘s Strix Point architecture. The device is set to feature the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU, paired with the RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 890M integrated graphics. While the company has yet to announce a launch date or pricing details, the A1 X is shaping up to be a competitive option in the handheld gaming market.
Newly Revealed Features
AOKZOE has revealed that the device includes a 72.7 Wh battery, which is larger than what many competing handhelds offer. It will also support bypass charging, allowing power to be drawn directly from an external source without impacting the battery. This feature is especially useful for extending battery lifespan, particularly for users who play for long sessions while plugged in.
The A1 X is confirmed to feature MicroSD 4.0 support, which enables faster transfer speeds of up to 300 MB/s, making it a viable option for expanding storage without significant performance bottlenecks. This will be especially useful for gamers looking to store and access large game files quickly.
Connectivity and Expansion Options
AOKZOE has also revealed that the A1 X will offer an array of ports to enhance its versatility. The device will come equipped with dual USB4 ports, providing high-speed data transfer and compatibility with a wide range of peripherals. Additionally, the OCuLink port will allow users to connect an external GPU (eGPU), unlocking additional graphical performance for more demanding gaming scenarios.
Images shared by AOKZOE suggest that the handheld will also include at least one USB-A port, a useful addition for connecting traditional accessories such as keyboards, mice, and external drives without requiring adapters.
Previously Confirmed Features
Prior teasers had already confirmed that the A1 X would feature an 8-inch display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support. This combination will likely contribute to a smooth and responsive gaming experience, reducing screen tearing and stuttering.
Market Position and Expectations
Although AOKZOE has not disclosed an official price range, the company’s positioning in the market suggests that the A1 X could be priced competitively to undercut more established rivals. Given the combination of high-end specifications and robust connectivity options, the handheld has the potential to attract gamers looking for a powerful, expandable alternative to existing options.
As anticipation builds for the A1 X, further details regarding availability and pricing will be crucial in determining its success in the rapidly growing handheld gaming sector. AOKZOE is expected to share more information in the coming weeks.
