Nintendo has announced the Switch OLED. We have compiled all the important information on what the differences are between the Nintendo Switch OLED and the normal Switch, such as weight, battery or memory.
This is new with the Nintendo Switch OLED
The Nintendo Switch OLED is not an absolute new edition compared to the normal Switch. But at least some updates have been made. It will be available to buy from October 8 and the price is said to be $350 in the US (about 300 euros).
- The Nintendo Switch OLED offers higher contrasts and more vibrant colours because of the display. This is of course advantageous for operation as a handheld. Especially also in sunlight.
- In addition, the 7-inch display is larger than the previous 6.2-inch display, so the gaming experience should be more intense.
- The console now has 64 gigabytes of storage (instead of 32 gigabytes on the standard Nintendo Switch). Of course, there is still the option to expand the console with a microSD card.
- The Nintendo Switch OLED is about 20 grams heavier than the standard model, namely 320 grams or 420 grams with Joy-Cons.
- The docking station has a LAN port for a more stable internet connection for the Nintendo Switch Online service.
This doesn’t change with the Nintendo Switch OLED
Some things remain as usual with the new edition of the Nintendo Switch, even if players would certainly have hoped for more. For newcomers, the existing changes are certainly interesting. Whether it’s enough for Switch owners to buy the new version remains to be seen.
- As a handheld, the console has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, which is 720p. This means that the relatively small display is still easy to read.
- On the docking station you can play with 1920 x 1080 pixels (1080p). A resolution of 4k is something many gamers would have liked to see.
- The battery seems to have remained the same according to preliminary tests on the Internet, as does the charging time. However, Nintendo has not provided any precise information on this.
