The Steam Deck OLED is the real deal. While it’s not a revolutionary upgrade over the original Steam Deck, new features like an OLED HDR-capable display, Wi-Fi 6, and improved cooling make a huge difference. Like its predecessor, this handheld is an engineering marvel.
I’m a big fan of the Steam Deck and prefer it to more powerful Windows 11 handhelds like the Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. The Steam Deck OLED is an even better version of the original device. If you already own a Steam Deck and only play it occasionally, you probably don’t need to upgrade. However, if you’re new to Steam Deck or if the original is your primary gaming platform, purchasing it is a no-brainer.
