Valve is working with a Steam Frame with MicroOLED panels with almost triple the resolution

Although the new glasses Valve Virtual Reality have just been announced, rumors about a new model are in the air. And Valve could be behind an improved version of these Steam Frameto which I would add OLED panelsand which is supposedly codenamed Flat. The rumors come with the appearance of a new device in the Linux kernel source code of this Valve headset.

Valve could prepare a Steam Frame with MicroOLED panels and more resolution

According to SteamFrameHub, this new device Flat would use MicroOLED panels with 3,552 x 3,840 resolution in each eyewhich would multiply by almost 3 that used in the Steam Frame screens. It seems that two development branches were initially found, but the so-called deckard-oled It was abandoned in December 2025 to continue with the deckard-flat which has been active since the beginning of February of this year until last October 2.

It seems that the increase in resolution in these MicroOLED panels will also have a 90Hz refresh ratealthough it seems that they have also worked experimentally with the 120Hz.

Valve’s new glasses would maintain the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

This new version would continue to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor of the current model. Video output using the native resolution of these MicroOLED panels is still under development, and a default output of 1,776 x 1,920 for each eyeusing a 1.5x scaling system to increase it up to 2,368 x 2,560. He has also been experimenting with foveate scaling which is referenced in the code. A system that would also reduce bandwidth requirements for images at native resolution.

At the moment no other references have been found, and Valve is silent on the matter. It does not seem that this project will be launched in the short term, especially considering that the Steam Frame just launched with LCD viewers and that it is not easy to get one of these despite having a price of more than a thousand euros.
