EDIT EDIT EDIT: So uh yeah, OLED Steam Deck was announced and this one's gonna have a BIGGER battery. This new battery test will have to be postponed... until I can get my hands on a new OLED deck. ORIGINAL PIN: I have read the comments and have heard the community! A 2nd round of battery tests! This will take some time to do and so maybe don't expect it this week. Lower TDPs, Lower Resolutions, Lower Refresh Rates! I've got the numbers for the Legion Go in its default state so it's time to see what we can do!
The cards were stacked in the steam deck’s favor. Please do a video with a realistic resolution and frame rate that most people would use on their windows handhelds. I think that test would be a lot more telling.
Do note the Legion has a Quantum Dot ("Nano IPS") display, it actually has the best color reproduction of any handheld on the market right now (Including SD OLED).
Great video, I’ve been looking for a battery assessment video for Legion go to see if it’s worth buying. You just saved major disappointment when my new handheld dies after 2 hours of gaming. Think il buy a switch instead and stick to PC gaming at home 😂
I had totally skipped that the Legion has 49Wh, somewhere along the line my mind lumped it in with the ROG Ally at 40Wh. Comparing Steamdeck OLED vs ROG Ally vs Legion Go is almost impossible to take a winner.
Hi! This is really good video. On the next time, would u make a video like this. Just how much time when its charged up from 0 to 100%? That would be awesome. For example, when its turned off, when turned on, but the screen is turned off, when u just watching movies/series/videos, when u playing a lite game like in this video, and when u play a AAA game, like in this video.
Once the Steamdeck OLED comes out I want to see this test again with games actually running at and locked to 90fps on all devices, and then ROG and Legion only using FSR upscaling from 720p render (upscaled to 1080p on ROG and 1440p on Legion). Might be hard to find games with FSR that hit 90fps on Steamdeck but that's the ideal.
@@seppeseppe-jq7nr if ur going to compare battery life for like the specs should match, never said in real life to play at 720 p… pushing more pixels on one isn’t a fair comparison is all I’m saying.
Even without testing I'm fairly confident that your battery will last a lot longer than actually running the games. But just for you, I may test this in the future.
4:36 Ok the Legion GO running almost 50% longer than the ROG Ally is not something I expected to see. And now Steamdeck OLED will get at least 4 hours in this test, twice as long as the Legion and 3x longer than the ROG.
Hello, on my Lenovo there is something that I don't understand and I hope you can help me, when my Lenovo is idle it recharges very well, but when I am in the middle of the game it recharges more and tests blocked at the same load value. would you have an idea? is it normal or not? THANKS !
You should put Cyberpunk on all 3 with their intended (maxed out) settings, not steamdeck settings. Cause noone buys better screen and higher refresh rate to not use it. :)
I wonder if the 15w mode is sipping more power than it should in the little goody two shoes test. I wonder how a frame rate cap would do as the steam deck normally has a 60fps cap on by default while the ROG ally and Legion Go have an unlocked frame rate. Great video though
The test was a no brainer. I already knew the steam deck has better battery life than both units. The steam deck was built to run games in lower efficiency thanks to proton. Thats why its better to actually make a handheld dedicate to games in mind vs just trying to fit a low power pc in a handheld. It wont work out the way people think. I also already knew the Go battery would be just as bad as the rog because the 49 watts is the same as 40 watts especially when the screen is 8.8 inches. Now, if the go had a 7 inch screen, then we mite have gotten more juice. I font know why they didnt include a bigger baytery in the go, due to its screen size and resolution? Another bad design. The rog shouldve used a bigger battery as well. This is where nintendo comes in, with its arm cpu and custom os dedicated to only focus on running big triple A games effeciently with low power consumption in mind.
So in 3d games the legion go has a slightly better battery life than the steam deck, though for video playback and in 2d games the results are different. The steam deck wins.
Ally calls it's 15W mode Performance and the Legion Go calls it Balanced. Not sure if there was a mixup in terminology but all TDPs were at 15W during testing.

New Version!
Should have mentioned this but I reverted my Steam Deck undervolting for this video. Deck is running at stock voltages.
I wish you would have tested all three systems at the same resolution and same frame rates.
Yup, the only decent test here was Cyberpunk since it's capping all systems to 15W.
Yep. Doing the test again with the same setup at low tdp like 10w ~15w would be great.
There's a new video where I do this! Go check it out.
And to that, you can dismount the joysticks at the legion go and use it as a tablet. You can’t do that with the other ones
Legion go will be the system to beat after 2 to 3 months of updates because I believe Lenovo to support their device better than Asus .
Lelnovo and their support
asus did great job with updates , mostly run well now
Well Lenovo hasn’t caught up at all with software aside from some changes to the way legion space looks. Still buggy in comparison to Ally in software

A 2nd round of battery tests!

3:05 So given the +25% battery size in the Steamdeck OLED, it will automatically give AT LEAST six hours in this test (probably more).
Imo the real deal here for LLG is the faster ram, not that big screen. I wish they use the same screen on the Ally. That’d be perfect.
The cards were stacked in the steam deck’s favor. Please do a video with a realistic resolution and frame rate that most people would use on their windows handhelds. I think that test would be a lot more telling.

Yeah if you expect high end gaming for hours on end on these devices you have got no clue what you're getting into lol. Get a Switch indeed.
I had totally skipped that the Legion has 49Wh, somewhere along the line my mind lumped it in with the ROG Ally at 40Wh.
Comparing Steamdeck OLED vs ROG Ally vs Legion Go is almost impossible to take a winner.
I think you could do another test with same resolutions 720/800p and refresh rate, 60hz
There's a new video where I do this! Go check it out.

Ah dang true I could've covered that.
Maybe in the future...

Why not lower the resolution to match, and the refresh rate for that matter. The legion pushing a lot more pixels
ocf i buy a big expensive system for have better optik but in real life i play 720p ? must be steam kids logic hahahah

nice test, I would vote for a normalized testing if possible :)
Can you try testing the battery life when playing through parsec or moonlight or similar?
Even without testing I'm fairly confident that your battery will last a lot longer than actually running the games.

Can u try to test battery life time in same resolution, refresh and light ?

it's a new function, it will reduces recharging power to protect the battery while you are playing game one it. you can change it in bios menu
for support i can assure lenovo is very good in support on their apps and software.been using 2 laptops of legions
A fairly long cable and good battery pack goes a long way in using these handhelds,,,,and it is still fairly portable
I think a lot of people on the go do the battery pack thing
an1 knows the name of the song at the end?

It's very possible.
I think more people should do more similar tests too so we can get a much clearer picture of battery life.

I don't believe this comparison.
So in 3d games the legion go has a slightly better battery life than the steam deck, though for video playback and in 2d games the results are different. The steam deck wins.
Performance is 20 TDP on Lenovo Legion GO
Ally calls it's 15W mode Performance and the Legion Go calls it Balanced.
Not sure if there was a mixup in terminology but all TDPs were at 15W during testing.
You didn’t do enough testing.
Having a 2k display on a handheld is stupid. People think bigger means better.
Yeah, the Steam Deck is the best balanced
but I literally can not accept the sd's screen
@@fungbai3041 Well you can get the SD OLED now
Drop TDP to 10w or lower and lets do a battery life test...
There's a new video where I do this! Go check it out.
Hmm. An Comparsion with different Resolution. This isnt an good Comparsion. Why?
The battery life on the go is just as bad as the rog. 40-49 isnt a difference at all especially when theres a 8.8 inch screen involved.
