Nintendo Switch has been the more popular choice over the Steam Deck due to its game library.
With the imminent release of the Switch 2, a comparison between the two handhelds is necessary.
Switch 2 specifications include a thinner design, better screen resolution, and internal storage options.
Steam Deck, on the other hand, features a different design and has a slightly smaller screen size.
The Switch 2 can output games at 4K when docked, outperforming the Steam Deck in this aspect.
Both handhelds offer expandable storage through SD cards but differ in internal storage capacity.
The Switch 2's CPU and GPU details are not fully disclosed yet, promising a unique chipset tailored for the device.
Battery life remains a mystery for the Switch 2, but it is anticipated to compete favorably with the Steam Deck's battery capacity.
The Switch 2 features improved Joy-Cons with magnetic connecting and mouse functionality, offering versatile control options.
Both devices boast an extensive game library, with the Steam Deck able to run almost any Steam game and the Switch 2 offering Nintendo exclusives and backward compatibility.
