- The OneXFly Windows gaming handheld is the latest to take on the mighty Steam Deck. It does a lot of things right when it comes to performance...but it misses the mark a bit when it comes to the software. However, It's certainly close and getting better.

** DISCLAIMER: The review unit was sent to me by the manufacturer however all of the opinions are why own **
Am I the only one who isn't crazy about thumbsticks that are off-set like the Switch?! I get around the issue by using a 3rd party grip... but those don't exist for new handhelds like this.
I feel the same way. I have the ROG Ally and I thought the Steam Deck thumb stick placement was better.
Yes.
your nephew looks older than you .
I don't like either!
For me the thumbsticks belong at the bottom of the grip.
Like Sony does it for decades now.
It is the most comfortable and quickest way to switch between Facebuttons and sticks and also it's the only layout that allows you to play for very long time (8+ hrs straight) without having any problems or hand pain!
You're lucky. I still have problems playing games with the original XBox controller!
The fact that you can hook it up to another display should be worth the price of admission. It even features a 3.5mm headphone jack--very nice how you can get better sound out of it and without bugging anybody else in the room.
Have you tried Winaero Tweaker, the software layer that lets you edit tons of Windows features out of the equation for smoother performance or easier interface? It's somewhat a hassle, but it prevents the system from tracking your movements (e.g. disabling the Cortana feature)..
Appabend has a video on making Win11 tolerable or even admirable: ua-cam.com/video/OrblxQdMFfc/v-deo.html
I do really appreciate these handheld devices. I'm more concerned about the battery and how easy it is to replace as the device gets older. There are also laws being pushed in EU where by 2027 all devices(mobiles, laptops, handhelds etc) must have a replaceable battery that the user can remove without the use of any tools. We'll see how that changes devices, hopefully for the better as I really dislike that especially in phones it's quite difficult to replace a battery.
Yeah, that's going to be interesting to watch! I own a LOT of devices with sealed lithium batteries and it's a concern for sure
@@MetalJesusRocksI love you Jesus your the best man!!!!
absolutely ridiculous considering a shop will charge you $20 in labor to change it for you. How often do you need to change a battery?
The best thing to do for a launcher is just start steam on start up in big picture mode if you want that steam deck interface
Then get a Steam Deck. You are saying you want to use the toilet but the bowl should come to you. Dude stop shitting on the street and find yourself a toilet.
Yes this
This is a beautiful handheld, and sleek. Nice to see how much better they are getting.
Metal, your videos are always so great and well made. Solid video my friend and thank you.
Much appreciated
I believe the word you were looking for to describe this hand held, was flashy😂
The fact that this is using Hall Sensor analog sticks is really nice.
Are you able to upgrade the internal storage or is there expandable NVMe internally?
It's a 2280 m.2 ssd so yes, but apparently opening it will void warranty
The best thing about the Steam Deck right now is that there are frequent firmware updates and those homebrew options. It genuinely feels like its getting better.
Same with amd tbh
These are so dang expensive to just own a bunch of these. Their specs will age far quicker than usual too.
Exactly. In 6months or less there will be another one, more owerful cpu etc etc and you'll feel left out like you should had just waited lol
Exactly. In 6months or less there will be another one, more owerful cpu etc etc and you'll feel left out like you should had just waited lol
The resell value on these ones, specifically, will also probably be awful. Who wants to buy a used system with someone else's gamer tag engraved on it?
yes sir, that's why I'm sticking with my Steam Deck and everything is going to be optimized for it, mean while we'll waiting for the SD2.
Ive had mine for over 2 years now. An intel OXP and an AMD OXP. Both are still powerful. I played Elden Ring on an 8hour flight at 60fps, it was plugged in, but it handled the game easily.
A lot of those windows based gaming pc handhelds now and before the steam deck
I'm referring to the Steam Deck being the market leader at almost 3 million in sales.
Oh, you fooled me. Thought you meant they were copying the Steam Deck
Asus ROG Ally has so far been the best Windows handheld
Thanks for detailed review!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching. 👍
Handhelds have come a long way. Holy shit
It’s a gaming pc without a keyboard more than anything
I feel like most people will be content and just wait for the new switch whenever it comes out.... I kinda feel bad for these companies who are trying to play in such a saturated market. Also most people who can afford this type of system, probably already have a steam deck or switch, and are too busy to even get around playing what they already own.
Yeah, I agree with ya. If you have a Switch and Steam Deck there isn't any good reason to get this. Sure it's powerful and the screen is great... but is it DOUBLE the Steam Deck price great?!
Only UA-camrs can afford to buy these every time something new comes out
Most are given them for free for a "review" and some people don't mention this despite being required.
I hope my 8-bit neo-geo controller is clicky
Just an FYI -- the display doesn't have VRR, which, to me at least, is unacceptable for the price, when the ROG Ally has it for less. The rest of it seems great, but the lack of that feature was enough for me to cancel my order on their Indiegogo campaign.
I've been waiting for a year to see Launchbox Bigbox running on a windows handheld. With Launchbox newest update it has all the store fronts integrated in the software, tracking playtime, achievements and auto updates newly installed games. Sexiest game launcher out there, which would sell these Windows handhelds if they came preloaded as a Windows shell.
There is also Playnite which has come a long way.
I would hold off for a year or two. Handheld PCs are going to get much more powerful and better supported with a dedicated Windows version.
Heyyooo. Thanks for the vid, excellent. :) Maybe next time Will can tell us about the experience?! Thank you.
They have now raised the standard, having an actual USB port 💫✊
338 days no alcohol 🏆
Great job 💪🥳🎉
You should celebrate by drinking alot right now. Call in sick to work, get some liquor, or your choice of drink, close the shades, blast the ac, grab a blanket, drink your ass off, play games, watch movies... have fun! And then order a pizza, and have a nap. Drink up
True gamers become one with their seat.
idk man, 900 bucks is getting up there. For the 900-1100 usd range, you can get a killer gaming laptop, with like a RTX4060. Besides, I haven't heard of this company; if I was playing anything other than the Steam Deck, I guess i'd get an Aya Neo. They've been around for so long.
That's still pretty cheap considering prices in general have been on an uptrend for many years. Laptops are so much bigger than a handheld so if you really want something like this you'll pick up a handheld over a laptop any day. I think it really boils down to what are you going to be doing with the device, something like this is just for games and so are most high end laptops. Depending on where you live you might take it outside every so often but if you're only going to use it at home that's when it become questionable at that point you might as well just buy a desktop.
I bought a gaming laptop for $1099 2 months ago. It gets used all of the time.
@@huldu if you get a handheld... i mean, just get a ROG Ally honestly. So much cheaper and pretty good performance. If for some reason you're against getting a Steam Deck...
That's a lucky nephew! XD
Good review would like to see a new Sony handheld at some point other than the ps5 thing more like a ps vita successor which is still underrated
Don't sleep on the ROG Ally as a Steam Deck competitor. I replaced my deck with one, and don't regret it for a minute, especially as an emulation machine.
Isnt the battery awfull on that thing?
@@alexsuperpower1 Depends on how much wattage you're running. As an emu machine, it lasts quite awhile. A big reason the battery drains is brighter screen running at 120hz, all of which can be adjusted.
The microsd slot burnt-out on mine, I returned it and got an AOKZOE A1 used for cheaper and I love it.
@@alexsuperpower1the ally has the same size battery as the deck
I just realized metal jesus has a friend named Paul. He should name his channel the apostle paul of metal
Nice video @metaljesus
The high end specs are cool on this. But the price point is a killer. Nice little machine. But to me, the Steam Deck appears a better value still. And the design of the Steam Deck is better IMO.
And also the software support aswell
It's not a killer at all. The cheapest version is cheaper than the most expensive STEAM Deck, and the hardware is miles better. Why even buy a STEAM Deck when this exists? lol
@@WardenOfTerra support
Yall just valve fanboys plus I want windows WITHOUT the hassle of installing it. Ilk buy the ally rog, gdp win 4, and this before the steam deck now steam deck 2 mite be better with better specs
@@2gunzup07 yeah if you want windows on your steam deck you can, but the ease of the steamOS for me helps me with ease mind since Valve can make fixes for a specific game, or Developers can make a specific fix for the steam deck which is a plus for me, you won't get that experience from other handheld
Can't say I'm interested in these. Everyone I know who bought a Steam deck says they don't even power it on anymore. I bought one and slowly joined that same club.
Yeah it was cool for like a few months but these things are just not practical!
They are way too big to be portable and way to heavy to play comfortably for more than 1-2hrs.
And isn't that the whole reason for handhelds?
To be portable and provide long playtime without issues? 😅
I bought an rg505 for under a hundred off temu and it's great.
@@overlordalfredoit's literally a handheld PC. Of course the battery life isn't going to be great. If you want better battery life go use an underpowered switch. But you aren't going to play a lot of AAA titles. I have no problems with the steam deck being portable at all, as for battery life, I play during work. There's always outlets in 80% of places now including buses lol
It's the complete opposite for me. I switched from switch to the steam deck and haven't looked back. If you play on low settings the games still look good and you can get around 4 and 1/2 to 5 hours on a lot of 3d games. The more modern ones on low settings will give you around 3 and 1/2 to 4-ish hours of gameplay. Not bad tbh. The weight isn't much of an issue. I got used to it. The controls are very ergonomic. I don't need a grip to use it, unlike the switch. You can play everything but nintendo exclusives (unless you emulate them) on pc so having a portable pc play everything is great.
I have an AOKZOE A1 and I rarely touch my Steam Deck anymore.
Great review. I'm always curious about these Windows based handhelds, but I'm with you. I think the Steam Deck's UI is so well tuned, and the community has done such great work with the plugins and addons that its hard to ignore that. Then you add in the price difference and its just no contest. I love my Steam Deck and don't think I'll be upgrading anytime soon.
How is this 'no contest'? The hardware you get for the price is insanely high spec. STEAM Deck hardware is awful for the price you pay.
Yeah... no....the price, The rog still the best contender.
You always do the best consoles/handhelds review, how do you get a hold of these game systems to do reviews?
Because he's a huge channel. And it's advertising for the company
These companies reach out to me and send me a review unit. What's nice is that I pretty much do and say whatever I want. If I run into problems or have questions, that's the only interactions we'll have. About half the time they want the units sent back for another reviewer or I keep it to use in future comparisons.
@@MetalJesusRocks it is cool you can say whatever you want about it whether they like or not like what you say about it. But they just want people's opinions about it and help spread the word about their game system
@@daviddonnell2153No duh
@@heavenlypath1065 hmm 🤔🤔🤔 ok 😂😂😂
I found the steam deck too small for my 50 year old eyes. Sold it on, bought a cheap 16 inch laptop for bedroom gaming
these things are coming out so fast I have no idea when to actually buy one. Maybe when and if there’s a steam deck V2?
I do think it's worth waiting to see what Valve comes up with a Steam Deck 2. It will probably be cheaper than anything else on the market and the interface is the best.
A great and balanced review as always. 👍
Thanks! 👍
I have yet to see one of the Steamdeck wannabes that actually seem to get what Valve is trying to do. The SD was never designed to be the most powerful machine they could muster; it was designed to strike a careful balance between performance, price, battery life, heat dissipation, and software compatibility. They hit a sweet spot for all of these categories and were rewarded for it, much like Nintendo was with the Switch. All the clones just seem to throw bigger and bigger tech specs at the wall without considering any of the other categories that make this type of portable appealing.
I really wish Microsoft would develop some sort of handheld version of Windows. The thing the Steam Deck really has over any Windows handheld right now is SteamOS due to the optimization. A handheld version of Windows would be better for battery life and game performance.
Only true if you are mostly Steam based. For multi store support and emulation. A Windows based handheld is much better. You just need a good launcher like Playnite or Launchbox for it.
Handheld PCs are so freaking cool. If I ever buy one, it certainly won't be the latest 'n' greatest. I just want something pocket-sized that can emulate PS2 in QHD w/ 300% CPU clock speed for over 4 hours.
One of the main factors when choosing a portable device is the high battery life. And even cooler if the battery is removable so that you can replace it yourself!
This looks ok and I would always want a native windows handheld if I was in the market for one as I could easily port over huge custom Arcade and console builds complete with menu systems and functions that I have already heavily customized over the years from the Arcade machines and special consoles that I make.
Like the fact that is a bit smaller than their other model.
SteamDeck screen is absolute garbage.
It's a shame other companies don't copy switch mechanic of decoupling the controls (joy-cons) and let the user play by stretching the arms. Other consoles controlers feel like handcuffs in comparison.
That’s why I love Nintendo. They come up with great solutions. Everyone else seems to try to copy that tech but they can’t. The Switch is balanced on so many levels.
There’s a Lenovo coming out that’s exactly that.
There's always room for one more since companies fail all the time. Also I'll be impressed when these do 1080P/60.
They will never do 1080p 60 if you're looking for the newest games becausenevern an rtx 5090ti cant run they at 60fps (whenever that card comes out)
I love there bigger version, the purple Evangeleon or how ever the cartoons spelled is the sweetest handheld ive ever seen! the smaller devices are cute but the games I play usually favors large screens not to mention cooling etc heavier or not I prefer the larger device as NON of these devices are comfortable to play on
Windows on handhelds and tablets sucks so much :( And I wish it didn't.
I don't know what it is but these portable, home console level, machines just haven't interested me. Not the Switch or the PC based units. I'm still playing my 3DS.
The 3DS is a pretty special gaming system. Nothing quite like it (and may never be again)
MJ, could you do a revisit on this console? Is it worth it? And who this addresses by the player?
steam on pc has big picture mode which is exactly the same as steam decks ui
3:39 sure cream cake lol
#Giggity
I think Nintendo fans are worried because there's no need to wait for AAA 3rd party ports to come to Switch 1 or 2 anymore now that these handheld PC's exist.
Nintendo consoles have historically sold less with each new iteration, too (Sales sorted by descending: NES>SNES>N64>GC; Wii>Wii U; DS>3DS), so there's no guarantee that the Switch 2 will outsell the Switch 1, especially if handheld PC's are vying for the attention of older male, hardcore gamers (and people that care little about Nintendo's exclusives).
And another thing is that these handheld PC's may likely even be able to emulate Switch 2 games, so a lot of handheld PC owners are going to feel like they don't even need a Nintendo console.
Calling them wannabes when OneX was one of the OG players in the space is crazy lol
On their webpage they directly compare themselves to the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally. I'm referring to the Steam Deck being the market leader at almost 3 million in sales.
@@MetalJesusRocks Onexplayer handhelds existed long before the Rog Ally and Steam Deck. Rog Ally and Steam Deck came later.
For my use as a console gamer and collector of 17 different consoles and handhelds. I would only get one of these for emulation. The price doesn't do it for me (to put it blunt.)
I got a Miyoo Mini Plus. It covers any and everythin i need.
Would you cover some of the Anbernic or Retroid handhelds. Much more competitively prices and have started putting out Windows Handhelds too, as well as all the great emulation only ones (Linux/Android).
To expensive!!
Just ordered mine, sooo hyped
Looking at some comments below in terms of the hardware aging very quickly I think that it`s about that these days some people should come up with a handheld that is modular to an extent that has upgrade paths for a while at least like the APU, the ram, the internal storage, the motherboard even and maybe the screen then I think that many more people including me may have some interest in the handheld scene again especially for me as I wouldn`t use it that much and so potential longevity with upgrade would defo appeal. Now this is not easy to do but in the end I think that someone needs to figure it out eventually
Why do they all feel the need to have staggered sticks. They are even worse on hand held devices.
I like that these things exist--competition and choice in handheld form factor gaming PCs/console hybrids is great--but I'll stick with my Steam Deck. It works great, I don't need the excessively high power levels that these these things tend to provide, and I don't want to run Windows (especially on a handheld, but at all, really).
I often play my Deck docked and honestly the "default" resolution is just fine, but 1080p on my HDTV is perfectly acceptable too. I play mostly retro and retro-style games and indie games on mine, especially those you can't play on console, so the Steam Deck on its own has far more power in most cases than is really required--and most of the types of indie games I play on it will probably play just fine in a 4K as well when I get a new 4K TV.
But the point is, resolution is not what I'm going for, and neither is the latest benchmark-setting game, so all that power is pretty useless to me.
These handhelds are so pricey and that with usually a lackluster battery. I hope they improve the battery of these handhelds in the future.
$1299 isn't expensive at all,my cheapest watch cost me around $15.000 at the time (and raise it's value since that).
VIDEOGAMES are one of the cheapest things to collect nowadays.
$15 ? Nice
I love the design and effort, but my Steam Deck, Switch & Backbone has me covered.
Price is the only reason the steam deck has sold so well. No one wants to pay over 350 for a handheld system
The price is the biggest reason, yes. But there are a lot of reasons the Steam Deck has done well. The integration between the OS and the hardware, the versatility of the dual trackpads (especially in combination with SteamInput; they can be configured to do *so many* things), etc.
One of the biggest things that I don't see talked about much is the low-end performance. At TDPs of under 10 watts, the Deck's Van Gogh chipset actually outperforms the 7840U, which means older or less system-intensive games can use less battery life. For example, Steam Deck can emulate GameCube games at full speed at a 3 watt TDP and GPU clock of 500, and get about 6 hours of gameplay. An ROG Ally has the same exact battery capacty, but you'd be hard-pressed to see more than 4 hours running the same games, as it needs to run with higher TDP to reach the same performance.
With SNES games and a little bit of tweaking with the PowerTools plugin, you can get 8-10 hours out of the Deck. These 7840u devices just can't do that. They beat it on the high end, but fall short on the low end.
Price is a big factor definitely, but it not just price though. Other handhelds coming to the market are Windows OS. Which has some advantages indeed, but Steamdeck being SteamOS, is far more optimised and streamlined for handheld gaming, thus having a less tech savy person being able to jump straight in without many hurdles. Not saying Windows is complicated but its defnintely more appealling to be able to jump into the OS without much fuss.
This is also 690$ for the entry level. I'd just go Asus for that price.
You say that yet the first steam decks to sell out were 500 GB and 250 GB. So obviously I'd say you're wrong
Another PC Review From Metal Jesus Rocks Thanks
"Nephew William"
Lucky bastard! Imagine if MetalJesus was your uncle.
Not having back buttons is a deal breaker
What a dream of a console 😩
If its powerful enough to allow me to do wireless pcvr on the go then i dont have a complaint
Fully fledged handheld PC gaming... what a time to be alive lol
Mine is the GPD Win 4. It's good enough.
@@voteTRUMP24 Why?
gpd really nailed their latest design and im very keen on buying their egpu expansion using oculink ayaneo has been going wild too. looks like a psp and vita in one. its so beautiful
I’m just waiting on the switch 2
I like these handhelds but the problem for me is that they are too expensive and get outdated quick. That's why I use Parsec on my Windows Gaming PC to host and then use my android Parsec app to connect to my PC. I use Launchbox/BigBox on my PC to make it feel like a console when I connect to it with my Android. Best part is I can use Parsec on my phone or tablet anywhere since I have a data plan and can hotspot to my tablet.
I just have this feeling that Nintendo is looking at these handhelds for ideas.
You can just plug in a mouse, if you can't navigate, and you can do that while connected to a display, like a desktop sorta say.
Very nice compact design!
If this console had an 8" display, VRR and a bit bigger battery...🤯
Omg the prices just killed the momentum for me.
00:10:19 What resolution is that? The aspect ratio doesn't look like 16:9.
Can you trust OneX after-sales support though?
With the Steam deck and ROG Ally the market for these devices is even harder to get into. They need a better overlay if they absolutely are gonna use windows 11
Man, if MJR was my uncle they would need law enforcement to remove me from that game room.
My PS5 and Switch Oled has been collecting dust since i got my ROG Ally.
Would you say PC/Deck < PS games overall? How do you feel XBox games?
Too big handhelds for me. I would like a ps vita sized one. I don't care if it'smuch less powerful.
I miss the pocketability of old handheld consoles too
get a gpd win 4 then
I appreciate these handheld devices as a way to make PC gaming inexpensive, but my concern usually falls align with laptops. And that's being longevity and support, it's the primary reason why I still stick with Switch only because I know it'll be supported for years to come despite weak specs
I'm not sure what you're talking about since these things are PCs they're going to be supported indefinitely.
I have a computer from 2009 in which I installed Windows 10 on and while The power of it might be super weak and so it may struggle to run Windows 10 You can still install it That's the power of a PC.
This device looks promising except it has some stiff competition with the Aya Neo Air, the GPD Win 4 and the soon to be announced Aya Neo Slide. What they attempt to accomplish in this field will bear heavily on price and performance versus the other handhelds it's competing against in the same form factor. I already have the Win 4 on pre-order and am awaiting GPD to finally start shipping the devices.
Metal Jesus? Yeh... he ROCKS!
Hi i just want to know what is the bgm music thank you I'm having a hard time finding that music.
Damn that baby looks gooood
Big negative with these windows handhelds is you cant pause the game instantly by turning it off and turning it back on with a single press of a button unlike the Steamdeck and Switch.
Steamdeck is the pioneer of portable PC, after steamdeck many companies capitalize "Handheld PC craze", it's basically just a laptop but without keyboard, instead we got buttons, d-pad, and thumbsticks.
for me, i prefer android or linux based retro handheld that using ARM (mobile phone) processor since i mostly played retro games from NES to PS1/N64 era, and for PC game, i already have a gaming PC and a gaming laptop.
Steam deck isn't the Pioneer of this. That would be GPD. They were around back in 2017 doing this.
@@13JacksonMr i knew, even Fujitsu making handheld-pc from year 2007, but Steamdeck did make it popular and become a mainstream.
@@ErnestJay88 I wouldn't call it the pioneer of it though. They are more in the boat of how apple made smartphones popular. GPD layed the groundwork for a handheld gaming PC (Bec I remember Sony making handheld PCs in the Early 2000s), Valve took it to the top
Yes, it’s a nice luxury item. And I agree: how much power do you need on the go? Plus Windows 11? That and the price are deal killers. I understand technology isn’t cheap, but its a portable gaming system, not a mid-tier desktop. Pass.
Nothing beats the Switch.
Id wait patiently for the deck 2.
Atleast the steam platform receives bunch of love. Plus you could dual boot windows.
Win win
Good lawd that's a lot of money
Every one weak we have a New pc handheld release. 😢 we are going to get broken buying these devices. lol
It looks cool but I’m happy with my Steamdeck
Handheld pcs existed before steam. Not sure why everyone makes it seem like the industry is copying them. The title is insane 😂
Steam Deck is clearly the market leader for portable PC gaming at over 3 million in sales,. That’s why I said that.
There is always room for one more :) handheld is only a form factor, and whilst there's a lot to be said to have one that's tightly coupled to a single company like the Steam Deck is to Valve, there's always room for lots of others to give customers options :)
These handled gaming pcs dont need a 1080p screen
