@AndyGER @gamingonlinux Correction: It's a Steam Deck with a .4" larger OLED screen with full HDR support (unlike the Switch), a 10wH larger battery and generally up to 2x the battery life. It also has 6E wifi which is a lot faster than the previous models, and the Bluetooh/WiFi radios are now separated. RAM speed is also a pinch faster. In addition, the cooling has been adjusted to run cooler and quieter.

@jaco @gamingonlinux Okay.Srill sceptical that HDR is such an impact on a small screen. 2x battery life? Waiting for real life numbers ... ;-)

@AndyGER @gamingonlinux "up to", it will vary based on things like whether a game is CPU/GPU bound, etc - anyway, here's a test with one game. (grabbed from the LTT video). Valve only claimed 30-50% increase in battery afaik, will need to look it up.

Discharge times of Steam Deck battery compared on F1 2023 at 127 mins for the OLED and 87 for the LCD.
