| Soundwave said: You know the other thing the Switch 2 doesn't get enough credit for? It's running these big ticket games at significantly better battery life than these other PC handhelds. I noticed in the Star Wars Outlaws testing on Steam Deck OLED vs. Switch 2, the Steam Deck OLED capped out at just about an hour of battery life for worse game performance. The Switch 2 can get about 2 full hours. That's considering too that Steam Deck OLED is 6nm TSMC while Switch 2 is 8nm Samsung. |
The Steam Deck OLED can't cap out after just about an hour!
The maximal output is 25 Watts including the display (15 Watts for the SoC) and it has a 50 Wh battery. So unless the battery is defect, two hours are the minimum.
And according to Digital Foundry, in Hogwarts Legacy the Switch 2 had a battery life of 2 hours and 45 minutes, the Steam Deck OLED with similar settings over 4 hours.
