Valve has announced a new Steam Deck OLED model, joining what it is now calling the Steam Deck "LCD" (original) models. The Steam Deck OLED includes a new screen, which itself Valve says will bring improvements to thermal performance, acoustics, battery life, and repairability. The Valve Steam Deck OLED enters a market that's growing with alternatives from the ASUS ROG Ally, the Lenovo Legion Go, GPD Win series handhelds, Aya Neo, and more. The new Steam Deck OLED will replace a couple models of the Steam Deck LCD, with remaining (old) inventory seeing a price reduction. The official Steam Deck OLED release date is November 16, 10AM Pacific, with reviews hitting the internet between now and then. Our review sample is arriving at time of publishing this news video. We will be benchmarking the thermals, battery life, acoustics, and charge time for the Steam Deck OLED in short order, so check back for that.
