Steam Deck OLED: the screen is just one of the many new features
Steam Deck OLED represents an important hardware revision for Valve’s console – PC, which among the improvements not only boasts a better quality screen, which however represents an element of great importance.
We are talking about an OLED panel, once again with 1280 x 800p resolution, but 7.4 inches, therefore slightly larger than the old 7-inch LDC version. The refresh rate is also higher, i.e. 90Hz instead of 60Hz. The display fully supports HDR with peak brightness of 1,000 nits, therefore capable of guaranteeing high contrast and much more vivid colours.
Under the body we find an APU with similar characteristics to the old one, but made with 6nm production process and 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM four-channel 32-bit 6400 MT/s versus 23 bit and 5500 MT/s of the LCD model.
However, the most interesting element for many people who play away from home is represented by larger 50Whr battery, capable of guaranteeing 3 – 12 hours of gameplay, according to estimates offered by Valve. We are talking about a 30 – 50% longer duration compared to the 40 Whr of the Steam Deck LCD.
Steam Deck OLED also features Wi-Fi 6E, which offers greater bandwidth and lower latency, and consequently also faster downloads, even triple according to Valve. Finally, inside the device there is a larger fan and the thermal management has been updated, which guarantees lower temperatures on average.
