I own both the Steam Deck OLED and the Nintendo Switch 2. After months of playing on both, here’s the truth: which one should you actually buy in 2025? The Nintendo Switch 2 just launched, and for a lot of people, it feels like handheld gaming is exciting again. But then there’s the Steam Deck OLED — Valve’s customizable, powerful portable PC. In this video, I put them side by side to see how they really stack up: design, performance, battery, and the games themselves. No spec sheets or benchmarks — just the real story of what it’s like to live with both. This isn’t sponsored — just my honest experience of owning and playing both the Switch 2 and the Steam Deck OLED every day. Enjoy. 🙏 ➡️ Subscribe for more videos: @thepoladr0id 🐶 Become a Member → @thepoladr0id/join 🧠 Patreon → 💬 Join the Discord → ------------------------------------------------------------------ ⏰ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro 01:34 – 1: Philosophy 03:36 – 2: Design 05:03 – 3: Performance/Games 06:25 – 4: Battery & Everyday Use 07:35 – 5: Price & Value 08:49 – The Truth #steamdeck #nintendoswitch2 #gamingsetup #handheldgaming #valve #nintendo ------------------------------------------------------------------ More about my experience with the Steam Deck OLED here: 🎬 About This Channel: Hey!
