"The biggest party trick of the Steam Frame is that it is essentially a SteamOS PC. It runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip with 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, and a choice of either 256GB or 1TB UFS storage with microSD expandability. There is also an onboard 21.6Wh battery. This allows the Steam Frame to be used completely on its own without any wired or wireless connection to any other device, and run games natively on it."
"The headset also has built-in stereo speakers that force-cancel each other to avoid vibrations. The headset comes with a split controller layout. The controllers use a typical gamepad layout so VR as well as non-VR games work as expected. These controllers also use the improved second generation magnetic joysticks used on the new Steam Controller. They each have a AA battery with a claimed life of around 40 hours."
"It includes a wireless adapter with dual radios that you plug into your PC, Steam Machine, or Steam Deck and stream games to the headset. The dual radios maintain separate connections for streaming and connecting to your Wi-Fi to eliminate bandwidth congestion. There are also four more high-resolution monochrome cameras on the outside for tracking the controller and the headset, and infrared LEDs make it possible to use the headset even in low light environments."
Steam Frame operates as both a streaming VR headset and a standalone SteamOS PC with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 16GB LPDDR5X, and 256GB or 1TB UFS storage plus microSD. A wireless adapter with dual radios streams games from PC, Steam Machine, or Steam Deck while keeping a separate Wi-Fi connection to avoid bandwidth congestion. Dual 2160×2160 LCD displays (72–144Hz) use foveated streaming driven by internal eye-tracking cameras. Four external monochrome cameras and infrared LEDs enable tracking in low light. Built-in stereo speakers use force-canceling. Split controllers use a gamepad layout, second-generation magnetic joysticks, and AA batteries rated for about 40 hours. An onboard 21.6Wh battery enables native standalone gameplay while emulating x86 games to ARM6.
