Nintendo Switch OLED
On July 6, 2021, Nintendo officially announced a new model called the Nintendo Switch – OLED Model.
The OLED model features a 7-inch (180 mm) 720p OLED display, and when
docked, output to 1080p resolution. Additionally, it features 64 GB of
internal storage, enhanced audio functions, and a wider adjustable stand
for use in tabletop mode. The unit ships with a new dock that includes a
wired LAN port.
It features similar technical specifications as the base Switch model,
and is compatible with all Switch games and existing accessories.
The unit ships in two bundles: one that includes a black dock and red
and blue Joy-Con (similar to the base model's default color scheme), and
a white dock with white Joy-Con. It was released on October 8, 2021,
alongside the release of Metroid Dread, with a retail price of $349.99.
Ahead of the release of the OLED version on September 13, 2021, Nintendo
reduced the base price of the original Switch model in Europe from
€329.99 to €299.99, and in the UK from GB£279.99 to GB£259.99, which Nintendo said also reflected changes in currency exchange rates. All other regions – including North America and Australia – did not receive a price cut.
