#Valve Steam Deck

After unveiling the first Steam Deck back in 2021. Valve has officially launched the Steam Deck OLED - an upgraded version of the original handheld console. The Steam Deck OLED features a 7.4-inch HDR OLED touchscreen panel with up to 90Hz refresh rate support and up to 1,000 nits peak HDR brightness. Though the button layout, OS, audio hardware are all similar to the LCD Steam Deck, but the OLED's battery is now 50Whr which can last 3 - 12 hours of gameplay. The Steam Deck OLED is priced at USD 549 for the 512TB, a carrying case and the Steam profile bundle while the 1TB version costs USD 649 and comes with carrying case with removable liner, the Steam profile bundle, and an exclusive startup movie and virtual keyboard theme. According to Valve, more regions will be available to grab the Steam Deck OLED with potential new colorways soon. A recent study by the e-commerce aggregator iPrice Group has shown that Asians, including Filipinos, are more excited about Valve's Steam Deck than the Nintendo Switch OLED. According to their study, across the 10 Asian countries observed, Steam Deck has nearly 3x Nintendo Switch OLED’s Google search interests within July 2021.
