A lot of them also prioritize high resolution displays, which hurts performance and battery life. I’ve said before and I’ll say again: IMO the 720p display is the Steam Deck’s killer feature
And I disagree, considering the 1080p+ displays can play low end games at higher resolution. High end games can also be downscaled to lower resolution.
Regardless, on a ~7” display, the difference is negligible.
Downscaling doesn’t fully solve the battery life issue; the graphics are lessened but it’s still lighting a lot of pixels. And the fact that the difference is negligible is exactly why I think it’s so great. Don’t waste hardware and software power where it will do no good.
