If you're looking to get a Steam Deck, then you're in luck, as a new model just dropped! This a direct upgrade over the previous model in just about every way, while maintaining the same price. Here's a breakdown of the differences:

  • 7.4" OLED display at 1290x800 resolution (0.4" larger, same resolution, previous model was LCD)
    • The new screen also reduces its weight by about 30g, or ~5%
  • 6nm APU for processing and graphics (previous model was 7nm)
  • Wi-Fi 6E (upgraded from Wi-Fi 5)
  • 50Whr battery for 3-12 hours of gaming (up from 40Whr and 2-8 hours)
  • 2.5m power supply cable cable (up from 1.5m)
  • 1 TB storage version
  • Updated thermals and a bigger fan for better cooling

With this change, the first model (referred from now on as the LCD model) will be discontinued saved for the 256 GB version, which will now be the entry level version. All the old models are also getting a price cut, and the 64 and 512 GB LCD decks will still be sold until stock is exhausted. Here's the prices for the current lineup:

  • 64GB LCD - 369 EUR (discontinued)
  • 256GB LCD - 419 EUR
  • 512GB LCD - 469 EUR (discontinued)
  • 512GB OLED - 569 EUR
  • 1TB OLED - 679 EUR 

There's also a 1TB limited edition with a translucent case that's only available in Canada and the United States. All of the new Decks will release November 16th.
