Earlier this year, Nintendo announced the OLED version of its popular Switch. This new variant of the company’s handheld gaming console is set to go on sale on October 8, and now, pre orders for the OLED Switch is set to start from September 24.
The Japanese tech giant announced earlier today (9th September 2021) that the OLED version of Switch will be available for pre orders later this month for a price of 37,980 Yen (roughly 345 US Dollars). Apart from the inclusion of a new OLED panel, the new version of the gaming console doesn’t arrive with any major changes. Although, it does feature slightly improved performance, while the battery life is still rated to last 9 hours similar to the original Switch.
Other slight changes include a slightly longer and heavier body compared to the original version, with the OLED variant weighing 320 grams over the 290 grams of the original. Meanwhile, notable specs include a 7 inch displayu, a new bracket design, with the angle being freely adjustable, an increase base storage capacity of 64GB and new speakers that offers better audio quality when used in handheld mode. As of right now, it appears that Nintendo doesn’t plan on launching a new gaming console anytime soon, so this might be the better variant of the Switch to buy for those interested.
