Battery life on the Steam Frame is really rather poor for sure.
Barely getting more than an hour from it.
Fast-chargers are going to be be an important thing, coz all the chargers I have lying around are taking 4 hours to charge it up for an hour of a game? Something like that.
Better chargers are on the way.
Also, a battery with fast-charge of many watts which is suitable for a pocket with a wire to the back of the head.
Back of the head there does feel quite well designed for having an external battery pack.
Been mostly playing Unloop, which you would think is a pretty simple game requiring not a lot of performance.
But the headset has not been performing well with it. It gets by. Slows down and drops frames as it gets latter in the loop with more actors acting.
So compared to the Quest, the Frame is more expensive, and it's worse performing, and it's battery life is worse, it's less comfortable and it needs more expensive and rare chargers.
So obviously I think the Frame is clearly better by some considerable margin, mostly because Steam is not a nightmare end-of-the-world surveillance capitalist and spook collaborator run by the word's biggest creep, whereas Facebook is that.
Instead Steam have built a device which is open for programming, and which I am interested in writing software for, and which doesn't feel pwned by the man before it even arrived.
