The Steam Deck OLED keeps the LCD model's single top-edge USB-C port: 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2, DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode up to 4K at 120Hz, and 45W USB PD charging, so one hub or the Steam Deck Dock gives you power, HDMI, USB-A and Ethernet together. The microSD slot is still UHS-I, about 100MB/s. One change from the LCD Deck: a headset in the 3.5mm jack no longer switches off the internal mic. Below is every port and its cable.
Updated handheld PC gaming console with 7.4-inch HDR OLED display at 90Hz. USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for external displays up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz, USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer at 10Gbps, and 45W USB PD 3.0 charging. Features Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and improved 50Whr battery. Compatible with official Steam Deck Dock and third-party USB-C hubs.
