ETA Prime introduces the new 1X Fly handheld gaming device from 1X Player, highlighting its upgraded AMD Ryzen 7 8840U APU, 120Hz 7-inch bezel-less display, Harmon-tuned dual stereo speakers, and ergonomic design weighing 599 grams. The device runs Windows 11 but supports Linux, and features extensive performance customization options, including adjustable TDP, fan control, and a game launcher. Gameplay performance tests show that with careful power and settings adjustments, the device can handle modern games like "Hades 2," "Street Fighter 6," "Cyberpunk 2077," and "Forza Horizon 5" well, balancing power consumption and game performance. Battery tests reveal varied longevity depending on TDP settings, with up to three hours at 10 watts. Despite some critiques of the d-pad responsiveness and the absence of FreeSync/VRR, the overall design and functionality receive praise. Future content promises further tests, including with an external GPU, to extend the device's capabilities.

In this part of the video, ETA Prime introduces the new 1X Fly handheld device from 1X Player, highlighting its main upgrade—the switch from a Ryzen 77840U to an 8840U APU. The device features a 120Hz 7-inch bezel-less display, dual stereo speakers by Harmon, and comes in a sleek, compact design weighing 599 grams with two color options (white and black). He mentions that the video will cover game tests and benchmarks and includes a sponsored segment about purchasing Windows 10 Pro OEM keys at a discounted rate. Additionally, ETA Prime points out various physical features of the 1X Fly, such as multiple USB ports, audio jack, volume rocker, power button, programmable keys, dual speakers, a Micro SD card slot, and describes its ergonomic design and controls.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the usability and functionality of programmable M keys and hot keys on the device, noting the necessity to move one’s hand to access M keys, which are often set up as hot keys. Key features include pre-programmed buttons: one for minimizing/maximizing apps, an on-screen keyboard button, and a turbo button that opens the 1X console. This button allows customization of the system’s TDP, gyro support, and fan control, and brings up a game launcher that can scan directories and download metadata for organizing games.
The device specifications highlighted include an AMD Ryzen 7 8840U processor with eight cores and 16 threads, built-in Radeon 780M graphics, up to 64GB LPDDR5x RAM, and a storage option of up to 1TB Gen 4 M.2 SSD. It features 7-inch 120Hz IPS display, Harmon audio-tuned speakers, a 48Wh battery, and a 65W fast charger. The device runs Windows 11 but can support Linux installations.
The segment also covers various performance settings accessible via the turbo button overlay, including power adjustments (4W to 30W), fan mode settings, vibration feedback, resolution adjustments, and performance overlays. Users can customize CPU turbo, built-in gyro settings, and switch between Mouse mode, Xbox Gamepad, and DS4 Gamepad. The game launcher provides detailed game metadata and custom presets though the speaker prefers launching games directly from the desktop.

In this segment of the video, the presenter demonstrates the customization options available in the program controller, such as remapping the gamepad and setting up macros. They show how to adjust the TDP for optimized gaming performance and explore its impact by playing different games. For instance, playing “Hades 2” at 120Hz and high settings with a 15-watt TDP, and “Street Fighter 6” at 1080p and medium settings with an 18-watt TDP, highlighting the usability of the d-pad. Additionally, they discuss optimizing “Cyberpunk 2077” settings, achieving decent performance at 1080p low settings with various TDP adjustments and AMD’s frame generation technology. The importance of balancing power consumption and game performance is emphasized throughout the segment.

In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses the performance of various games on RDNA A3 chips at different settings and power consumptions. They highlight that Forza Horizon 5 runs smoothly at medium settings without the need for FSR, maintaining over 80 FPS at just 15 watts. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 averages 102 FPS at 1080p with a balanced preset and AMD Frame Generation on, though settings might need to be adjusted for consistency. Horizon Forbidden West, however, requires significant setting reductions to achieve playable frame rates, benefiting from the Frame Generation feature.
The video then shifts to testing battery life using Cyberpunk 2077 at high settings across various power configurations (10, 15, 20, and 30 watts TDP). The results show that battery life ranges from 3 hours at 10 watts TDP to just 1 hour and 10 minutes at 30 watts TDP, under worst-case conditions with 50% screen brightness and all other features like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on. This demonstrates the potential power draw and battery efficiency of the device, with the possibility of longer battery life for less demanding games or lower settings.

In this part of the video, the speaker provides an in-depth review of a handheld gaming console. They praise the console’s comfortable design and good sound quality but critique the d-pad, suggesting it requires harder presses compared to higher-quality alternatives. The handheld features a high-quality 1080p, 120 Hz, 7-inch bezel-less display, but lacks FreeSync or VRR, which could help prevent screen tearing. The reviewer plans to test an eGPU with the console and invites viewers to request additional tests. They also mention future videos and provide links for more information.
