ONEXPLAYER mini: 7-inch gaming handheld launches globally for over 60% more than the Steam Deck

The ONEXPLAYER mini has arrived on the ONEXPLAYER global store, a few weeks after the device appeared in Japan. As One-netbook has confirmed previously, the ONEXPLAYER mini has an Intel Core i7-1195G7 processor, 16 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and a 7-inch display running at 1,920 x 1,200 pixels with a 323 PPI. The device also has a 10,455 mAh battery, weighs 587 g and measures 10.23 x 4.1 x 0.9-inches.

Additionally, One-netbook describes the device as having the following gaming-related features:

• Dual Copper Cooling Tube

• Dual Sensitive Bumpers
• Dual Stereo Sound Speakers
• Dual Vibration Motors
• Japanese Original ALPS Rocker

The ONEXPLAYER mini is orderable now and will begin shipping on January 20. Until tomorrow, the device starts at US$1,039 with 512 GB of storage, over 60% more expensive than the Steam Deck. However, One-netbook will eventually raise the price to US$1,259 after its pre-sale period, increasing the price differential between the ONEXPLAYER mini and Steam Deck to almost 1.94x.

One-netbook also sells the ONEXPLAYER mini with 1 TB or 2 TB of storage for US$1,179 and US$1,379, respectively. Incidentally, the company will pre-apply a plastic screen protector to each ONEXPLAYER mini ordered from its website.
