A lot of older PC games can run just fine on modern phone hardware. I’d buy a SteamOS version of a phone that has some modular or built-in set of buttons and analog sticks. I don’t know how the app ecosystem would work for sensitive things like banking but it’s mostly a minor issue for me.
They don’t update the software on the steam deck frequently enough for me to be confident for phone software where security is more of a concern
It’s fine on a game device, but I have much more personal data on my phone
Enable Beta updates.
Is Valve’s update cycle really worse than what the typical Android device gets?
