> Battery Life (15W TDP) - > > Steam Deck - 103 Minutes > > Rog Ally - 96 Minutes And this is why the Deck was meant to run at 5-10 W, with 15 W being for rare cases. All of the outrage over the Deck having shitty battery life back when it released was based on tests at 15 W, and since then Deck users have learned to work with 5-10 W. The Ally really needed a bigger battery to overcome this.

The Deck can run at 3 watts TDP with 30 FPS.

Why not 720p for both handhelds? The Deck is pushing a few extra pixels here, making the comparison slightly skewed.

These handheld benchmarks are awful. Even linus tested the steamdeck at 800p and the other at 720p. ThePhawx seems to be the only one that bothered using the same OS, resolution and power targets.

Because it is a low-effort review from a retro gaming channel without the technical know how. Here is a slide showing the GPU delta at fixed wattage (compared to high end AMD mobile and Intel mobile also): https://i.imgur.com/AJIdvqF.png
