Nintendo today announced a new Switch model with a larger 7-inch 720P OLED display. Although there are rumors that this new Switch will be equipped with a new Nvidia chip inside, it is not clear whether Nintendo has upgraded its internal processor. The Switch OLED model will be sold on October 8, and the price in the United States is 350 US dollars (about 2261 yuan).
In addition to the new screen, this revised model also includes an adjustable stand design for desktop games, 64GB of built-in storage space (higher than 32GB), a new dock with built-in wired Ethernet port, and improved audio for handheld or desktop games. Nintendo only mentioned the "HD game" on the TV base, so the rumored 4K mode is not part of this Switch OLED.
IT House learned that Nintendo said that the battery life of this new Switch OLED will reach 9 hours, which is the same as the original Switch. This Switch OLED device is slightly longer and heavier than the original one (320g), while the original Switch weighs 290g.
In recent months, the upgraded Switch has been exposed a lot, and Nintendo chose to disclose it after the E3 2021 exhibition, which focused on the new Switch game.
The new Switch OLED was launched in Nintendo Switch Lite nearly two years later. Switch Lite is a smaller and cheaper version, so you can’t connect it to the TV. Switch Lite made its debut in September 2019 for $199.
Nintendo Switch sells very well, and the game console has occupied a dominant position in the US sales list for nearly two years in a row. Since its launch in 2017, the sales volume of Switch has reached 84.59 million units, which is getting closer to the sales volume of 101.63 million units of Wii consoles. This upgraded Switch OLED model is bound to help promote the sales of Switch series, and further approach the level of Wii.
