Transcripts

on its surface the steam deck OLED

doesn't really seem like that much of a

change from the steam deck LCD but let

me tell you as someone who has put well

over a th000 hours into their steam deck

LCD the steam deck OLED is a lot more

than meets the eye if you're just

listening to what valve says about the

steam deck OLED you would think it's

probably not that big of an upgrade

because if you go to their website it

says all the things you love about steam

deck Now with an OLED screen better

battery life faster Wi-Fi and more and

it's that and more part that really gets

you given that this is a midcycle

refresh meaning it's more of a 1.5

update rather than a 2.0 update and

generally speaking midcycle refreshes

from other companies kind of suck think

like the PS4 slim versus the PS4 you

didn't get any better performance it was

just a little bit of a smaller package

and the amount of value that it was

offering the customer is minimal at best

but I am so happy to say that valve was

massively underselling what the ACT ual

changes that were made to the steam deck

OLED versus the LCD and it is a

significantly better product and it

improved on basically every problem that

I had with the steam deck LCD except for

one and we'll get into that one in a bit

but probably the most important

Improvement for me was battery life so

let's talk about it my biggest problem

with the steam deck LCD was battery life

I made a video on it almost 2 years ago

now where I said this and the worst flaw

for me personally has been what I would

call pretty terrible battery life when

you're playing demanding games and yeah

2 years later I still stand by what I

said when you're playing triaa demanding

games the steam deck lcd's battery life

sucks there's no defense of it it just

sucks for example running Elden ring on

the LCD steam Deck with Max brightness

and the full 15 wat TDP and the frame

rate uncap which is generally getting

between 30 and 40 FPS so it's not like

we're getting crazy FPS here but running

that test I got just over an hour I got

1 hour and 11 minutes to specific and

before you say well that's because your

battery is degraded massively and that's

why you're getting such bad battery life

that may be part of it I'm sure the

battery is degraded it's you know 2

years old or something like that at this

point but I ran that same Elden ring

test when I first got the steam deck and

I got the exact same time or within 1

minute of the same time when I'm playing

Elden ring on battery I'm getting just

over 1 hour so while the battery might

be degraded it doesn't seem to have a

significant impact on it overall battery

life now if we do that same exact test

with the steam deck OLED so again frame

rate uncapped smack screen brightness

full 15 wat TDP on the steam deck OLED I

got 2 hours and 27 minutes which is over

double the battery life of the LCD steam

deck now valve says on their website

they say a 30 to 50% Improvement on

battery life but in that testing the

Elden ring test that I personally ran

I'm getting over over double so valve is

massively underselling the Improvement

here and that's awesome I would so much

rather have a company undersell it and

then you get to be pleasantly surprised

versus they oversell it and you're like

oh man it's not as good as I was hoping

and yes I have a lot of people tell me

Well Sam that's a worst case scenario no

one is actually going to use their steam

deck LCD like that so you're not

actually going to get that bad of

battery life and while it is true that

you can do a lot of things to increase

that battery life like capping the frame

rate lowering the TDP or lowering the

brightness the fact of the matter is

that's exactly how I like to use my

steam deck I like the brightness on full

because I don't know maybe I my eyes are

bad or something I like having the frame

rate as high as I can get it because

more frames are better frames and so

while you can say yeah just lower some

of the settings I don't like to do that

I like to get the best performance I can

and so that's just what it is and yeah

that is Elden ring running in the

background on my steam deck on the

projector so just for fun oh and by the

way speaking of Elden ring I beat Elden

ring entirely on the steam deck and I

did a lot of extras I think I put around

120 hours into it and as of filming this

video right now the Elden ring DLC just

came out a few days ago and I'm planning

on beating the new Elden ring DLC on my

steam deck as well I just haven't had

enough time to get around to it yet but

this is just to say for all those people

that say you can't play Elden ring on

the steam deck I played Elden ring on

the steam deck and I beat Elden ring on

the steam deck so you definitely can do

it and I had a great time and even

better than that while valve could have

stopped at just some simple improvements

like the bad battery in the screen they

improved basically everything they

improved the performance The Thermals

the fan noise basically everything that

I and most people care about they made

positive improvements towards and we're

going to talk about that in a sec but

before we do if you're looking to charge

your steam deck on the go then Channel

sponsor ugreen has you covered with

their 25,000 milliamp nexe power bank

that can charge it up to 145 Watts not

only can you easily top out the steam

deck 45 wat Max charging speed but you

can also top off your laptop and phone

all at the same time all from the same

power bank and if you have a beefy

laptop like me with the 16-in MacBook

Pro you can get from 0 to 56% in just 30

minutes it's got enough juice to charge

my iPhone 15 Pro about five times or the

steam deck OLED about one to two times

depending on if you're using it while

you're charging and what sorts of games

you're playing I also really like that

ug green includes this little screen so

you can see exactly what the percentage

of the battery bank is so you just know

how much power you have left and when it

to top up your power bank and your steam

deck and your laptop and your phone all

at the same time ug green also as you

covered with their 100 wat nexo charger

this charger is remarkably powerful for

its size it can do up to 100 Watts which

means you could charge an M2 MacBook Air

from 0 to 55% in just 30 minutes it's

also compact especially when compared to

the Chargers that apple is shipping with

their products and yet it also has the

ability to charge up to four devices at

the same time also I got to say I love

that you green keeps including at least

one USB type a port for all those cables

that just haven't switched over to type

c because I know you have them because I

have them too and it's just nice to have

a charger that's got you covered for

everything if you're interested in

either the charger or the battery Bank

check out ug Green's Prime Day deals

which are up to 41% off I'll leave links

in the description and thanks again to

you green for supporting this channel so

I can keep making videos like this one

all right let's get back to the steam

deck OLED so yes the OLED does have

better battery life than the LCD but one

other problem that was actually a pretty

ific problem for me with the steam deck

LCD is the fan noise whenever you were

doing anything including just

downloading games or if you were playing

games like Elden ring or whatever AAA

games you were playing the fans were

pretty loud and not only were the fans

pretty loud but the temperatures were

also hot while the fans were loud and

for something like a desktop maybe you

don't really care if the fans are

running loud and hot but for something

like a handheld where you know it's

going to be within Arms Reach of you

most of the time the amount of heat and

noise out output is significant and it

does impact the amount of joyment that

you'll get out of the device but with

the OLED valve has completely solved

these issues if you look closely during

this Elden ring test you can tell that

the OLED is getting between 10 and 20%

better fps than the steam deck LCD which

that might not sound like that much but

that's actually going to make a pretty

significant difference especially when

you're struggling to hit the 30 or 40

FPS cap in games like Elden ring and not

only are we getting 10 to 20% better

performance but at the same time the

fans are running quieter and the chip is

running about 10° cooler for those of

you that don't know 10 degre cooler is

such a significant difference on

something like a handheld I mean like

that in and of itself if Apple had made

a change like that where their devices

were 10 degrees cooler it would be all

over all over their marketing but valve

doesn't even include it they like don't

even mention that it's like hey yeah

guess what the fans AR going to be

nearly as loud and it's not going to be

burning your hands not that it was okay

that was a little too far it was never

burning your hands but it was warm it

was warm for sure so yeah for me the

biggest Improvement is kind of all those

things together where it's like battery

life yes is the biggest Improvement but

then thermals and performance and fan

noise all kind of run in Tandem and the

valve improved all of those in such a

meaningful way that they're no longer

issues for me they were issues on the

LCD and things that annoyed me and made

me enjoy the deck a little bit less but

on the OLED they're no longer issues and

I don't think about them at all and one

of my favorite Parts about the fan noise

is you almost don't hear the fans

anymore on the OLED or at least I don't

they do still ramp up and if you're

playing a demanding game like Elden ring

yes you will still hear them but it's

not nearly as bad as the LCD it's much

much quieter oh and yeah I can't believe

we've made it this far in the video

without talking about the screen but the

screen is it is just chef's kiss the

steam deck LCD I'm kind of a screen snob

I guess a little bit just a just a

little little bit or I just like a nice

screen and the steam deck LCD it was

fine there was nothing wrong with it you

could still play your games but it was

not pretty to look at it wasn't pretty

and a lot of that came down to the color

accuracy the brightness and then if

we're being honest I thought it was the

resolution but now we have the steam

deck OLED and it has the same resolution

but with dramatically better color

accuracy and brightness and contrast and

what I thought was resolution was

actually those things it looks to me

this is going to make me sound silly but

it looks to me like this screen actually

has a higher resolution than on the LCD

but it's not it's just crisper and

sharper but that's not coming from more

pixels I didn't know that was a thing I

know it's a thing now and like one

example that makes it really clear is in

a lot of games with the LCD I would

struggle to read the text because it's

just small on a small screen like that

but on the OLED I don't struggle to read

the text nearly as much and I think a

lot of that comes down to the color

accuracy and the contrast ratio and well

and I guess I should say it's also about

12% bigger so having something be 12%

bigger is obviously going to make it

easier to read small text so yeah that

helps too ooh and it also has a 90 HZ

refresh rate which is awesome for

playing games a lot of games like Elden

ring you're not going to be hitting that

90 HZ refresh rate but what you can do

is Target the 45 HZ refresh rate which

is exactly half of 90 and then that's

actually going to be really nice too but

then when you're playing indie games

where you actually can get that 90 HZ

refresh rate like for me one of my

favorites is dead cells or actually

right now I'm playing through Hades uh

which is a really good time and both

those games are indie games where you

can easily hit your 90fps cap and 90fps

does look dramatically smoother at least

to my eye versus 60 FPS so that's

another change that does really help the

overall experience of the steam deck the

screen is just knocked out of the park

it's fantastic whereas on the LCD it's

okay it also has HDR it's got lower

input lag as tested by digital Foundry

and people don't talk about this but the

touchcreen is much more responsive at

least for me in my testing it used to be

when I had to use the onscreen keyboard

to type in whatever cuz sometimes you

have to the LCD version it was really

clunky and annoying to use it felt like

a tablet from like 15 years ago where

they're just trying to figure out how

the touch sampling rate works whereas

the OLED it feels much more like a

modern tablet or smartphone and you

don't really notice it it also has

Bluetooth 5.3 instead of Bluetooth 5.0

which is great and it has faster Wi-Fi

with Wi-Fi 6E which is going to give you

up to three times faster Wi-Fi my Wi-Fi

isn't that fast so I wasn't maxing it

out to in the first place but I do

notice that I get less drops and like

little lag spikes when I'm playing

online or using Wi-Fi so there is some

improvement there it's just a little bit

harder for me to measure also the whole

package is a little bit lighter and I

thought this was going to be something

that I wouldn't be able to notice but

every time I have the LCD and the OLED

and just by picking it up I'm

immediately aware of which one I picked

up cuz visually they're very similar so

you can't really tell a difference

visually at least not from a distance or

not if you're not paying attention but

every time I pick it up and I'm like oh

that's the LCD oh that's the OLED like

it it's just clear as day so it does

make a difference but now we got to talk

about buying decisions because when the

steam deck first came out years ago at

this point it was kind of the only thing

in its category I mean yes handheld

existed but it was the only thing really

trying to make its own operating system

and trying to make it more of a consol

like experience

these days fast forward a few years and

you have companies like Asus or like

Lenovo or like MSI I guess if you want

to include them and they're all trying

to create their own version of they're

doing it with Windows but they all are

creating their own custom software to

make it a little bit more palatable to

use Windows on a handheld and so the

handheld space is a lot more flushed out

than it was when the steam deck first

came out and so you kind of have to ask

yourself you have to say even though the

OLED is a significant improvement over

the LCD and it is in basically every way

is it good enough to justify its place

against the competition where it's

number one weakness versus the

competition I'm sure you already know

its performance its performance is

pretty bad when compared to something

like the Rog Ally or the Lenovo Legion

go and I bought both of those devices

and I tested them immensely against the

steam deck OLED and uh yeah both the

legion go and the Ally depending on the

game and circumstances get anywhere

between 0% better performance and up to

100% better performance and it is wildly

dependent on the game because some stuff

isn't optimized and you know there's a

bunch of other factors but it's just to

say whereas a few years ago the

performance might not have been as much

of an issue because there weren't very

many other good options on the market

there are other good options on the

market now so that puts the steam deck

in a trickier position than it used to

be in so I would say this if you're on

the fence about buying a steam deck or a

steam deck OLED or if you're looking at

buying a different handheld like an Rog

Ally or something like that I would say

this I would look at if you're someone

who plays all types of games all the

time then maybe you just need the

flexibility of an RG Ally or a legion go

but if you're someone who mainly plays

like five main games or 10 main games or

whatever it is I would look at what the

performance is on those games particular

for the steam deck versus the Ally or

whatever you're comparing it to and then

if the steam deck can get performance

that you're okay with I would go with

the steam deck I much prefer the steam

decks ease of use operating system the

way it navigates I much prefer using the

steam deck but sometimes the performance

does stand in the way like with Elden

ring for example I would love to get a

locked 60fps I would love that that

really does improve my gaming experience

on eldering because you do a lot of

Twitchy stuff you got to you got to

react in real time and so having those

extra frames actually does help the

experience but the steam deck just can't

do it but if you're someone who plays a

lot of Indie Games you're playing more

like dead cells or stardew Valley or

things like that the steam deck is going

to be hands down the best option for you

so what I would say is look at the games

you're wanting to play look at the

performance on those games if the steam

deck has good enough performance for you

on the games that you want to play then

pick up a steam deck because I do think

it's better if you're not constrained by

performance hopefully that makes sense

if you have any questions let me know in

the comment section below I can usually

get to all the comments but yeah the

steam deck has been one of my favorite

pieces of technology in the last decade

it's actually changed my life in some

really cool and positive ways and it's

allowed me to play video games in little

moments that I have throughout the day

whereas before I just kind of stopped

playing video games as an adult because

I just didn't have the time to really

like sink it in in a big chunk of a

couple hours at a time and now I mostly

play video games for 20 minutes at a

time and I really enjoy it and I

actually think that's a healthier work

life work Play balance for me personally

if if you made it to the end drop what

your most played game is currently on

your steam deck or on your handheld

device I'm curious to see what you guys

are actually playing all right I'll see

you guys next time peace
