Official Product Name:
Nintendo Switch (OLED Model)
Price: $349.99 USD
Planned Release Date: October 8, 2021
Major Changes:
Much better stand (adjustable/multi-angle)
Much smaller screen bezels without reducing console size
7 inch OLED Screen (up to 720p)
Built-in Ethernet port (but 2 USB ports instead of 3)
64 GB of storage (double the original internal storage)
And a new white color and rounded dock.
Main take-aways and things to seriously consider:
NO 4K TV output
OLED Screen but still UP TO 720p in handheld mode and 0.8 inches bigger, meaning...
Possible “Screen burn-in” (damaged OLED pixels over time and limited brightness, too)
Worse battery life (as most games are bright and not dark which are not advantageous for OLED energy consumption)
And worse pixel density (larger pixels).
General Recommendations:
If you're looking for a portable gaming console to play on-the-go and on your TV with others or by yourself:
- Buy the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) if you can.
If you're looking to only play Nintendo Switch games only in handheld mode and don't want to spend a lot for extra things you won't use (a dock):
- Buy the Nintendo Switch Lite which is $150 cheaper than the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model)
If you already own the original Nintendo Switch console:
- Stick with your current Nintendo Switch console because the new Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) costs a lot of money for:
A better stand you may hardly use
An Ethernet port which replaces a $25 adapter
More internal storage when you likely already expanded your storage
And a mildly bigger, OLED screen which may have worse battery life and worse pixel density (bigger pixels).
This has been my TED x Talk.
