About Nintendo Switch OLED
The OLED Model isn't hugely different from the original console, at least, not on paper. Here are the main ways each console differs:
Nintendo Switch (original)
| Nintendo Switch OLED Model
| |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 6.2-inch LCD | 7-inch OLED |
| Weight | 297g | 320g |
| Stand | Fixed | Wide adjustable |
| Dock | No wired LAN port | Wired LAN port |
| Storage | 32GB | 64GB |
| Colours | Grey or Neon | White or Neon |
The big differences are the larger, brighter OLED display, a more versatile inbuilt stand and some minor improvements to audio.
While this might not sound like much, the new screen needs to be seen to be believed. It really does make old Switch games look better with richer blacks and more vibrant colours. If you regularly use your Switch in handheld mode, it's definitely worth upgrading to.
