In an exciting move, a month before the Christmas holidays, Valve has just unveiled its latest innovation in portable gaming, Steam Deck OLED, as a successor and continuation of their successful Steam Deck handheld Linux gaming console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steam Deck OLED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This new addition to the Steam Deck family boasts a vivid 1280×800 HDR OLED display, offering brighter colors and deeper blacks for an enhanced gaming experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new model is a qualitative upgrade of the previously available one, the main differences being a larger 7.4″ screen<\/strong> (7″ used in the original Steam Deck), an efficient 6 nm AMD APU<\/strong> (7 np used in the original Steam Deck), and the latest Wi-Fi 6E<\/strong> (Wi-Fi 5 used in the original Steam Deck) for three times faster downloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, the OLED version is more energy-efficient, packing a 50Whr battery that extends gameplay to 3-12 hours. Additionally, the device is lighter and cooler than its predecessor, thanks to a larger fan and improved thermals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
