Valve Steam Deck OLED 1TB Handheld Gaming Console
The OLED upgrade makes an already compelling handheld feel like the version Valve always wanted to ship.
A 7.4-inch HDR OLED screen with anti-glare etched glass and a 90Hz refresh rate is a meaningful step up from the original LCD model, and 1TB of NVMe storage means you can actually keep a library on the thing.

Our verdict
A 7.4-inch HDR OLED screen with anti-glare etched glass and a 90Hz refresh rate is a meaningful step up from the original LCD model, and 1TB of NVMe storage means you can actually keep a library on the thing. Battery life ranges from 3 to 12 hours depending on what you're running, so demanding titles will drain it faster than lighter ones — worth knowing before a long flight. Less suited for anyone who wants a pocketable device, prefers console exclusives, or isn't ready to occasionally wrangle desktop Linux.
Best for: PC gamers who want their library on the couch, the commute, or anywhere else
