Summary

  • OneXPlayer introduced two more Intel Panther Lake gaming handhelds — the X2 and Apex Air — after already announcing the OneXPlayer 3 with Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme APU.
  • The X2 appears to carry over the X1’s tablet-style design and detachable controllers, suggesting accessories from the Core Ultra 7 155-based previous model may remain compatible.
  • The Apex Air closely resembles the AMD-powered Apex and is confirmed to use a swappable 85W battery, matching the non-Air version.
  • Detailed specifications were not disclosed, but the X2 is expected to stay close to the X1 and the Apex Air to the existing Apex ahead of a fuller launch.
