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
What we like
- HDR OLED display with anti-glare etched glass
- 90Hz refresh rate for smoother motion
- 1TB NVMe SSD for a serious game library
- Wi-Fi 6E for faster wireless
- Carrying case with removable liner included
What to consider
- Battery life is listed as 3–12 hours, heavily dependent on what you're playing
- At $1,074.99, this is a significant investment compared to entry-level handheld options
- 7.4-inch diagonal screen makes this a larger, less pocketable device — check the physical dimensions before assuming it fits your bag
- Runs SteamOS; compatibility with individual titles varies and is worth checking per game
