Advantages of ONEPLAYER 2

  • Newer device with Windows 11.
  • Faster storage running on PCIe 4 (Steam Deck is running only on PCIe 3).
  • Bigger screen with much higher resolution at 2560 x 1600 (vs 1280 x 800 on the Steam Deck).
  • Better connectivity options with an additional USB Type A and USB 4.
  • Comes with a built in kickstand.

Advantages of Steam Deck

  • Half the price of the ONEXPLAYER 2 but offering almost similar performance.
  • Slightly more compact.
  • Touchpads more suitable for FPS.

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.
