Steam Deck uses 7.4-inch Samsung OLED display
Samsung Display, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, is supplying the OLED display panels used on Valve’s handheld gaming computer Steam Deck. The latest model of Steam Deck uses a 7.4-inch OLED display supplied by Samsung Display.
The first version launched in February 2022 used a 7-inch LCD and an a-Si panel that was supplied by BOE. The Chinese display panel maker is also expected to supply OLED panels for Steam Deck but Samsung Display’s patent lawsuits filed against it in the US may cancel this.

Analyst firm Omdia expected 3 million units of Steam Deck to be shipped by the end of the year. The screen sizes of handheld gaming computers, which have been around 5 inches in the past, are increasing the 7 inches and up. This may become a new revenue stream for display panel makers.
Meanwhile, Steam Deck OLED has a screen refresh rate of 90Hz, up from 60Hz of prior models, and a resolution of 1280×800. It is also 30 grams lighter, supports the latest Wi-Fi standard, and is powered by AMD’s 6nm accelerated processing unit.
Samsung will roll out the Android 15 to Galaxy devices later this year, but we already hear about the One UI 7.0 update. Google is all set to push the Public Android 15 rollout this October, while Samsung is delaying One UI 7 Beta.
The company is internally working on the Android 15 One UI 7.0. The Galaxy S24 series will be the first to get it on both Beta and Stable channels. Dozens of Galaxy devices are eligible for this major upgrade, forming a big rollout later this year.
Android 15
The new OS entered Developer Preview in February and Public Beta in April. Google so far released four major Public Beta updates for Pixel devices. The Android 15’s QPR Beta activity has also started ahead of the October release for Pixels.
Android 15 focuses on improving device performance and power efficiency. It’s also well-optimized for the artificial intelligence era. Consumers can expect faster app loading, longer battery backup, enhanced security and privacy, and core improvements at the OS level.
One UI 7
There’s no info on the One UI 7 Beta release date, but SDC24 taking place on October 3. For the Galaxy S23 series, the company released the first Beta in August 2023. Well, events aren’t the same for the Galaxy S24 series as the Beta is delayed.
The Korean tech giant may expand the Beta trial to select mid-range phones. Galaxy A55, Galaxy A35, and some Galaxy M series phones may also be eligible. Like every year, One UI 7 Beta should be available in at least 7 countries including the US.
One UI 7.0
Samsung is set to hold this year’s Developer Conference on October 3. The event’s stage will be utilized to introduce new One UI 7 features and enhancements. Besides, One UI 6 Watch and Tizen OS upgrades for TVs may also be unveiled by the Korean tech giant.
One UI Beta build can be installed on your primary handset, but we prefer avoiding it. If you don’t want to counter bugs and functional errors, Beta activity isn’t for you. Consider waiting till the Stable rollout commences as Samsung will also provide new features with One UI 6.1.1.
