Where to buy the new Steam Deck OLED, and other questions you may have

Valve has introduced the Steam Deck OLED, which offers more than just a better screen. It has many other improvements over the original model, ranging from faster Wi-Fi to a bigger battery. All of that being said, it isn’t advertised as a successor, and it’s no more powerful at running games than any other Steam Deck. It’s simply a premium alternative, like the Nintendo Switch OLED is to the regular Switch. You can check out our full review on the Steam Deck OLED.
Whether you’re someone who already has a Steam Deck or someone who hasn’t yet purchased one, we made this guide to answer some questions you might have.

Just like before, Valve is selling the Steam Deck OLED exclusively through Steam. In Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan, it’s available through Komodo.

Yes, it is. Assuming you haven’t witnessed an OLED screen before (most high-end phones have them these days), using one can make a huge difference in the enjoyment of games. For one, OLEDs can show off environments with pixel-perfect accuracy, with shadows that are blacker than ever, and colors that almost pop off the screen. Viewing angles are greatly improved over LCD, too, with a wider sweet spot for seeing the best color reproduction on the screen.
OLED isn’t just for looks; it has big power efficiency benefits, too. Alongside the Steam Deck OLED’s slightly larger battery, the OLED screen plays a central role in boosting this model’s longevity by up to 50% in some games.
That’s for you to decide, ultimately. For many people, keeping the hardware you have is the most economical move. Perhaps my colleague Chris Plante’s review will help you decide where you’ll land.
Nope! The Steam Deck OLED has the same physical dimensions as the original Steam Deck, but weighs 30 grams less. In other words, every accessory that we recommend in our guide to

Valve confirms plans for a Steam Deck 2, but don't let that put you off the new Steam Deck OLED
The Valve Steam Deck OLED is the latest thing in portable gaming, but it isn't all that much of an upgrade over the original Steam Deck.
