It's not the clearest photo, but it clearly has both 2 thumb sticks and 2 track pads.

Those trackpads better have damn good palm reject because getting to those thumbsticks without brushing the trackpads will be impossible for many people.

The steam deck does

People were saying that about the steam deck before it came out. Maybe some people have had issues, but anecdotally I've literally never heard one complaint about that from someone who actually used the device. The way the joystick is elevated above the pad your palm really shouldn't touch it

The steam deck already does in my experience!

Aside from I don't think that will actually be an issue, the thumb sticks are likely to have touch sensitivity on top like the steam deck ones have. So they can just disable the TouchPad anytime the thumb stick is being touched.

Again, though. I don't think it will be an issue with your palms.
