Steam Deck OLED announced
New OLED screen. New APU. And lots of small hardware improvements.

This is a really nice mid-gen refresh, IMO. It drives the entry point prices down (when was the last time you saw THAT in tech?) and it makes some really nice improvements to the newer SKUs.
I don't think it's a must-buy if you already own one, but if I was still using a Deck as a daily driver I would certainly consider it. The idea of a 10 hour battery on a handheld PC is super appealing for me, considering how often I'm playing stuff at 5W.
I think these prices are the same as the original release. Unless you mean entry point as in buying used.
They are selling the SKUs they're discontinuing at a discount, so the very lowest end at the moment is a little bit down.
But in general, the 256Gb model got a spec bump without taking a price bump. That is very, very rare these days.
Oh you're right! Yeah you could either look at it as a price drop or a storage bump. The 256 GB non-OLED LCD is only $400 now. And there's nothing smaller than 512 GB on the OLED.
