TLDR
Similar to our comparison between the Steam Deck and GPD Win 4, we feel that the Steam Deck is a better product due to its price and perception as the benchmark for handheld consoles. The ONEXPLAYER 2 is a great handheld if you must get the latest and most powerful device and money is not a concern. If not, then you can’t go wrong going with the Steam Deck.
