I put the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Steam Deck OLED to the test to determine which gaming handheld offers better battery life.
Nintendo Switch 2 vs Steam Deck battery test — the results
Nintendo Switch 2
1. First “low battery” warning = 2 hours, 7 minutes
2. Second “low battery” warning = 2 hours, 21 minutes
3. Battery Depleted = 2 hours, 40 minutes
Steam Deck OLED
1. First “low battery” warning = 1 hour, 50 minutes
2. Second “low battery” warning = 2 hours, 5 minutes
3. Battery Depleted = 2 hours, 9 minutes
This unlikely duo will have no trouble winning you over.
Another Genesis-inspired shooter for the collection? Yessir!
Hope you like cheese puns and great action.
Don't really need a comparison to know the Switch 2 is a far more power limited device with harder capped clock speed. It'd be concerning if the battery was worse.
