The Abxylute One Pro is a device that feels very clear about what it wants to be — a dedicated Android handheld built primarily for cloud gaming and remote play. In that role, it delivers surprisingly well. After spending time with it and digging into how it performs, it’s clear this isn’t a do-it-all device for hardcore emulation, but for the right user, it offers a lot of value.

The most noticeable highlight is the display. The 7-inch 1080p screen feels large and immersive without making the device overly bulky. It’s an IPS panel at 60 Hz, so while it doesn’t match the deep contrast of OLED or the smoothness of a high refresh rate, it still looks great for cloud streaming. Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce Now, and even remote play from a local PS5 or PC look sharp and vibrant.

Where the One Pro really shines is in how easy it is to just pick up and start playing. The custom front-end UI gives a more console-like feel rather than just dumping you into vanilla Android, and it streamlines the experience of jumping into streaming apps. There’s no annoying setup process or having to fiddle with button mappings — everything works more or less out of the box.

Performance-wise, this is where expectations need to be managed. The MediaTek Genio 510 processor is energy-efficient but doesn’t bring much muscle for local gaming. Lighter Android games and streaming are fine, but anyone hoping to emulate heavier systems like PS2, 3DS, or even some Dreamcast titles might find the performance underwhelming. Benchmarks were even missing support for the chipset in some cases, which says a lot about how niche this hardware is.

From an ergonomics standpoint, the One Pro is solid but not exceptional. It’s light enough — around 420 grams — and the overall size is manageable, but the grips don’t quite sit naturally in the hands. For longer sessions, especially if you’re used to more sculpted controllers like the Steam Deck or Switch Pro, this might feel a bit flat.

The design is clean and functional, though the 16:9 aspect ratio can be limiting when it comes to retro emulation. Many older titles end up with black bars or feel stretched. Not a dealbreaker for streaming modern games, but something to consider if you love classic systems.

Price-wise, it comes in at $269.99 USD, which translates to roughly 2,600–2,800 SEK, depending on exchange rates and shipping. If bought from outside the EU, VAT and customs fees could push that higher. There’s currently no retail availability in Sweden, so it’s worth checking what the final price will be before ordering.

Final Thoughts

The Abxylute One Pro isn’t trying to be the most powerful Android handheld — and it doesn’t need to be. It’s a focused device that plays to its strengths: solid build quality, a great screen for its size, and a software experience that prioritises cloud gaming and remote play. For anyone looking for a plug-and-play streaming handheld that feels good in the hand and just works, this is an easy recommendation.

But if your goal is to dive deep into emulation or play demanding local Android games, there are better choices out there, even if they cost a bit more or offer smaller screens. It all depends on what kind of gaming you prioritise. For pure streaming, the One Pro makes a strong case for itself.
