      Exactly. It’s neat that it’s OLED, like the original Samsung Galaxy from 2009, but it’d be pretty neat if they’ve skipped right to 2013 and at least make it FullHD. You’re supposed to overtake competition, not lag a decade behind.

        I think you’ve missed the point of both the original Steam Deck and the recent update. Short version is that the screen is deliberately not 1080p because that would make it way more power-intensive, and the OLED version is deliberately not really changing the device specs. Look at some of the rivals/knock-offs which have come out in the last year - all the numbers are bigger, resolution, clock speed, power usage, weight…

          People knock the Switch but you’re not gonna do that much better without being noticeably heavier and hotter
