OneXPlayer G3E Family Feud: Same Chip, 3 Handhelds. Who Wins?

Three handhelds. One Intel Arc G3 Extreme platform. Very different reasons to buy.

The OneXFly Apex Air, the OneXPlayer X2 and the OneXPlayer 3, set up the same way and tested at the same 35W and 40W targets, with a separate 45W pass on the Apex Air.

546 scored runs across 11 games, two power profiles, acoustics and wall power. The performance gap is 1 to 3 fps in most games, and 5% at the very worst. So the real fight is everything else: weight (measured on my scale, not spec sheets), screen, noise, battery and price. The buyer matrix crowns a winner.
