Better contrast and a wider range of colours
The Nintendo Switch OLED is a moderately upgraded version of the Switch, with the main difference being the screen.
The Switch OLED boasts a 7-inch OLED screen, hence the moniker.
OLED panels typically offer better contrast and a wider range of colours but can be prone to screen burn. Luckily there are ways to avoid it and keep your Switch OLED safe.
The chip is the same so don’t expect a more powerful console, and the battery life is pretty much identical.
Another upgrade for those of you who play online is the wired LAN port on the dock – however, you can buy the dock separately.
It’s compatible with the original Switch so if you’re happy with your LCD screen, you can treat yourself to a new dock instead for a better online experience.
The Switch OLED is available in neon red and blue, and a new off-white colourway. It retails for £309.99 / $349.99.
