Switch OLED only has about 340 nits (both 10% window and full screen). Though I'm not sure if this was measured with "Auto Brightness" on of off (I guess, off). So at max brightness the Switch OLED is only about the same as Galaxy S8+ at 39% brightness (if the scale is linear - I'm not sure). Also the Switch OLED uses a newly developed RBG OLED type with even better optimized subpixel structure than Galaxy S8+ Super AMOLED.

YES - it was worth buying! I play mostly in the handheld mode and this is a vast improvement over my LCD switch. I find myself using the kickstand when holding it for my small finger on each hand, it’s pretty comfortable for long sessions. I played Cruisin’ Blast for a couple of hours last night, amazing graphics and colors on this OLED switch. Like you said, there is no going back, my older switch is being handed down to a family member for some cash! Great review, as always!

I am upgrading my Switch to OLED literally the day of or the day before the new Pokémon comes out and I am beyond excited! I am gifting my brother my OG Switch so we can hunt Pokémon together and he can finally enjoy some Nintendo!

I have VERY important info about the joycons that come with nintendo switch OLED. First of all nintendo actually did make the drifting wear less of a problem by placing foam pads on the backside of the joycon cover. Remember that this was checked only on the white oled model.

Surprisingly amazing quality keep up the fantastic work :-)

I will note with my older switch (2018), the first thing I noticed when I got it was that the joycons had enough slack they could move a bit while secure to the switch. If I pulled up or any upward force was applied to the joycons - or say gravity of me holding the joycons and the main switch was floating - you would feel them move upward just a little bit. The joycons were still secure and would not pop out but you would feel this very slight vibration/movement from the friction when it happens. There were even a few times I noticed my joycon - especially the right one - would state they were wireless instead of connected to the switch. I don't have the new switch oled but I imagine that's what some people were referring to when they said the rails were tighter or more secure. Now I didn't have the revised switch with better battery and I vaguely remember some people mentioning tighter feeling rails then so maybe it's only a difference the oldest switch owners would notice. Of course as you said: some people either from normal use or rough use might also state the rails are stiffer and might wear as time passes. I just wanted to note that when I got my switch in Summer 2018 that was one of the first things I noticed when I played in handheld was the joycons move a little bit.

I like the new power button and volume buttons. I would also accidentally push the power button when I wanted to change volume and the reverse as well. I think maybe they made them so different so that that wouldn’t happen but that’s just my guess

Literally the same here, I had Neon Pre-Ordered at first for the Black Dock (seriously still waiting on some damn Black Joy-Cons 😒) but since I got a PS5 around the time the OLED Pre-Orders started and I put mine down the PS5 grew on me with the White/Black two tone and I Switched (aaaaaaaahhh 😏 🤦) to the White Model like less than a Month ago 👍 Pretty good so far, prefer the more Premium Feel and glad those damn borders around the screen are basically gone, I use mine pretty much exclusively in Handheld since I have a PS5/X1X I actively use (and prefer) if I'm Home, and I usually take the Switch on the Commute to Work each Day

Decent quality of life changes but in the grand scheme of things a small boost to power and memory would've made that price more worthwhile. EDIT and also base storage.

Picked mine up yesterday at Target. Enjoying it so far.

I played my OLED Switch all weekend. You have to see it to believe it but the screen is so much better now. All the colors really pop and black is black on the OLED. It also just feels heavier and feels like it is built so much better than the Lite and Original Switch.

I traded in my regular V2 Switch at Gamestop towards the OLED, and they surprisingly gave me $260 for the old system. If you can get it at Gamestop and trade in towards it, I think it's definitely worth the upgrade. Sadly, I haven't had time to play anything yet because of my work schedule, but the home screen looked incredible while I popped all my cartridges in one at a time.

Disagree 100%, if you buy physical games they take up minimum storage as it actually uses them to play. Unlike PS4,5, Xbox Consoles where you have to download the entire game to the hard drive which can range from 20-100+GBs. As stated buying physics media on the Switch is King 👑 ,because they take up such little space.

My first choice of game to look at was BotW as well. I play mine handheld 99% of the time so I was pretty excited to see the improvement. It’s beautiful. Spawn didn’t mention the addition of two little rubber ‘feet’ on the bottom edge. Very helpful for tabletop mode.

I can confirm about it being a huge upgrade. I upgraded from my original Lite (but still have it). I also had the launch day Switch from 2017. Everything you said is true.

I got one! I wasn't able to get one at midnight. But in the morning I was watching the resellers on Amazon change their prices when it dropped from Amazon. Awesone!

I really like the white and black and the large screen. Maybe one day I'll grab the OLED but for now what I have is fine for my gaming needs.

I get the feeling Nintendo sees the switch as a handheld that can hook to the tv, every update they've made (switch lite and now switch OLED) are all portable bonuses.

@weaverquest

I mean that's technically what Switch is. A tablet with an HDMI output. A hybrid that's very much biased on the handheld side because the only thing that changes in TV mode is overclocking the GPU. If the dock was an external GPU solution, and it was the CPU that got overclocked when docked it would be a lot more like a home console. Also it is not even really overclocking since the Switch GPU and CPU is running way below Tegra X1's original clocks that was intended for Nvidia Shield.

Hey Spawnwave, yeah I picked mine up yesterday. Noticed the screen brightness and size immediately. I play mostly before I sleep in bed and don’t have an OLED TV in the house. It’s a substantial upgrade for me. I am coming from the original Switch that was looking pretty old after 4 years. I’m also playing through some old titles. Dead Cells has some serious colors going on. Also Eastward looks vibrant.

Considering I was able to sell my launch Switch for almost $300 (hackers/modders are real interested in these which has driven up their value), I’m overall quite pleased with the OLED model’s upgrades for a mere $50 extra. Here we go: Sweet: - OLED Screen is absolutely beautiful and looks even more vibrant/huge side by side with the older models. - Battery life is over 2x what my V1 Switch is down to at this point. - Built-in Ethernet and 2x external USB ports on dock is helpful. - Full body kickstand is waaaaay more stable and, when cranked all the way down, allows you to play in tabletop mode whilst charging (just barely). - Overall build quality is improved (glass screen overlay/less body creaking). - So far all existing accessories/cases from my old Switch seem to fit and operate with the OLED model just fine. - Bluetooth headphone connectivity FINALLY SWEET JESUS lol (OK, not exclusive to OLED model but included in 13.0 firmware for all models - about time!) Meh: - Joy-Con rail tightness seems the same on my OLED vs launch V1 Switch (many early reviewers seemed to think the figment was a bit tighter?). - Recessed power button is difficult to find and depress without looking at it (maybe a good feature for some gamers if they have a habit of accidentally pressing it I guess?) D’oh!: - Game cartridge slot cover is stupidly difficult to remove to access slot (Maybe my “prison inmate” short fingernails are to blame haha, but legit I could not get it to open even with a pencil and ended up using a credit card to pry it up - Been leaving it loosely covered for ease of game swapping for now). - Switch-to-Dock fit is sloppy loose with more wiggle room for the screen to teeter back and forth inside as well as the feeling that the entire handheld is balanced almost entirely on its bottom USB-C port (not well supported on its edges making it feel a bit “tippy” or “seesaw” like while docked). It doesn’t affect usability so far, but seems like a much more sloppy fit compared to my old model. (Maybe this was done to accommodate future models with slightly increased thickness or tablet warping issues?) I think you’re asking for scratches on your shiny new OLED screen if you don’t install a protector over it on this model (Got another AmFilm on mine day one). Lots of minutia here, though I’ve yet to see a couple of these items covered in most reviews. Overall, I’d recommend the upgrade from V1 to the OLED model if you are able to find one! Pretty happy user here with the upgrades overall!

That’s a sensible take on the joycon wiggle. Kevin Kenson seems to think it’s improved on the oled, but like you said, it probably feels more rigid because it’s new! Once it’s worn in, sadly they may start wiggling again.

I hope they’ll have demos of the OLED model because I want to see the screen for myself without paying!

the joycon rails on the oled aren't just tighter because they're new. my v2 switch which i replaced with the oled has significantly sloppier feeling rails with the joycons in and i have not played it a lot in handheld mode or removed the joycons very often, so while the switch overall isn't new, that particular component is still very new as they have seen only a tiny amount of wear and tear. it's possible that the oled rails will loosen up over time but comparing the rails on a brand new oled, to the almost brand new rails on a v2 lcd switch, the oled is so much tighter feeling.

I have the Original Switch Model, just luckily found the White Oled in a target yesterday. My OG switch has nothing wrong with it, I just wanted a nicer screen for handheld, as that my main way of playing. 👌
