This was a Speedcast Special, a short episode rather than a live panel. It is a recap of two interviews recorded at OneXPlayer’s office in China, after the launch of four devices: the OneXPlayer 3, the X2 Mini, the Apex Air, and the X2 Mini Pro. Klef (Game Tech Talk) hosted part one with the CEO, Jack, and narrates the video. Part two was hosted by Kenzou of Gamers’ Generation with OneXPlayer’s lead designer. The trip party also included Nelly of Gaming Repairs, Alex of 2LOUD Tech, and Trevor of OKestGamer.

Big takeaways

• OneXPlayer’s CEO, Jack, said the company takes gamer feedback from videos, Discord, and the community into new designs.
• The company said the Apex was its most successful device in the past year and expects the OneXPlayer 3 to lead in 2026. That is the company’s view, not a test.
• An updated G1 is coming but not soon, and the company advised against waiting for it. No details were given.
• The lead designer’s priorities are comfort first, then cooling (including fan noise), then battery.
• OneXPlayer said it plans to release an eGPU with an Nvidia GPU inside within about half a year. It has no announced name, and Nvidia has not confirmed it. Treat it as an unconfirmed plan.
• The trip to China was sponsored by OneXPlayer, so this is the company’s account, not an independent test.

Interview topics: CEO answers, designer answers, the Nvidia eGPU mention

• Collaboration with gamers. Jack said OneXPlayer takes input from gamers locally and through its community and Discord, and that feedback on videos and Discord is considered in new designs.
• What sets OneXPlayer apart. Jack’s answer was a focus on hardcore gaming, on cooling, and on launching devices on different chips. Klef said OneXPlayer has been more consistent than most at offering both Intel and AMD versions, and Jack called that choice important to the company.
• The four launches. Jack said the vision was a large screen with strong performance, and a choice between an internal battery (OneXPlayer 3) and an external one (X2 Mini). He said the Apex was the most successful OneXPlayer device in the past year, and that the company expects the OneXPlayer 3 to be the 2026 leader. Klef said he liked the OneXPlayer 3 even more after hands-on time. He also said it vastly outperforms the HX 370, which is his view, not a test result in this video.
• G1 successor. Jack said an updated G1 is coming but not soon, and advised against waiting for it. Klef’s reading was that it will bring more than a chip change. No details were given.
• New campus. OneXPlayer has a large new campus in Shenzhen. Jack said it is meant to improve customer support and to add research and development space.
• Development time. About a year from a new design to customers, shorter when only the chip, panel, or small parts change.
• How chips are chosen. The lead designer said the decision comes down to the chip’s power limit, performance, and above all cooling.
• Detachable controllers. The designer said the idea came partly from gamer demand for lighter devices with longer battery life, since detached controllers save weight and power when you are not gaming.
• Design priorities. The designer’s top priority is comfort, then cooling (including fan noise), then battery. He named the 1X Fly as his longtime favorite and the Apex as his current one. He said he plays retro games, and named a 1997 title (spoken as e-football or Pro Evolution Soccer).
• The Nvidia eGPU mention. At the end of the CEO interview Klef asked for a special announcement. In the clip he played, the company said that within the next half year it plans to release an eGPU with an Nvidia GPU inside. The product has no announced name, and it has not been released. Klef said he knew nothing else, including whether OneXPlayer works with Nvidia directly or uses an existing option. When the second interview asked for more, the company said it could not share more. This is a company statement made in an interview, with no confirmation from Nvidia and no specs or price. Treat it as an unconfirmed plan.

Worth watching if you want first-party answers on OneXPlayer’s roadmap, with the sponsorship stated up front, or you want to hear the Nvidia eGPU comment for yourself.
