iFixit has conducted a dual teardown of Valve's Steam Deck OLED and the Lenovo Legion Go, giving both handheld consoles high marks for repairability. The Steam Deck OLED received a score of 9/10, while the Legion Go scored 8/10. Valve's decision to use a metal frame and screw posts in the Steam Deck OLED improves durability, and the Legion Go's use of pull tabs for battery removal simplifies the process. Despite a glued-in battery, the Steam Deck OLED is deemed slightly more repairable. Both consoles are well-designed and offer a glimpse into the power packed into compact spaces.

Digital Foundry's testing has revealed that the Steam Deck OLED's upgraded 90 Hz screen significantly improves input lag, even when running games at 60 fps or below. Compared to the LCD version, the OLED version showed an average reduction of 26.1 ms for Doom Eternal and 32.5 ms for Crysis 3 at 90 fps. Surprisingly, input lag improvements were also observed when both units were set to the same frame rate, with reductions of 8.5 ms and 11.3 ms for Doom Eternal and Crysis 3, respectively. These findings suggest that even small changes in input lag can greatly impact the responsiveness and "snappiness" of a gaming system. Firmware updates are expected to further improve input lag on the LCD Steam Deck displays.

Valve's Steam Deck OLED addresses the biggest flaw of the original Steam Deck by introducing a brilliant OLED screen that offers deeper blacks, better contrast, brighter colors, and less blurring. The upgrade brings the handheld gaming experience on par with Nintendo Switch's OLED model. While the hardware improvements are impressive, the Steam Deck's core specs may start to feel dated compared to competitors with more powerful chips. However, for gamers who prioritize visual quality, the Steam Deck OLED's screen upgrade is a significant improvement.

The Steam Deck OLED, a refreshed version of the original model, brings several improvements that haven't been widely covered. The new fan is quieter and more efficient compared to the previous models, making it a significant upgrade. Users can transfer their old SSD to the OLED model without any issues, and the device is easier to open with the use of Torx screws. However, servicing the device has become slightly more difficult due to changes in the ribbon cable placement. Old accessories, including screen protectors, are compatible with the OLED model. The carrying case has been redesigned to be more portable, with a removable inner shell. Additionally, the OLED model features a new light indicator that turns solid green when fully charged.
