Nintendo has announced the Nintendo Switch (OLED model)

The rumored Nintendo Switch Pro has been revealed to be the Nintendo Switch (OLED model), with an OLED screen, Ethernet port, and enhanced audio.

Nintendo has officially announced the Nintendo Switch (OLED model), which will be released on October 8, 2021. There have been rumors about an updated Nintendo Switch in recent months, but fans have been waiting for an announcement for quite some time. .

Nintendo released improved versions of its portable consoles in the past. These have helped extend the life of the system, especially when the technology starts to look old compared to other consoles. Nintendo has done this so often that fans guessed that an upgraded Switch model would be released later. The release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X / S also made this more likely, as the Switch’s hardware will have a hard time keeping up with third-party cross-platform games in the future.

Rumors of an upgraded Switch model going into production seemed to come from all corners of the industry for the past few weeks, and it turned out they were true. Nintendo has announced the Nintendo Switch (OLED model), with an announcement in the official Nintendo Youtube channel. The Nintendo Switch (OLED model) will launch on October 8, with no information on its pricing available at launch.

The Nintendo Switch (OLED model), as the name suggests, has a seven-inch OLED screen, which has brighter colors and better image quality. The flimsy stand on the Nintendo Switch dock has been replaced with a wider stand that will be more durable. The base now has two USB ports and one wired LAN port, which will be better for online games. The Nintendo Switch (OLED model) comes with 64GB of internal storage, which can be increased with compatible MicroSD cards. The system also has two built-in speakers, for better sound quality in laptop and tabletop mode. There will be a white model and a blue / red model available at launch.

The Nintendo Switch dock has been a huge success for the company since its launch in 2017 and some suspected that the popularity of the system could have stalled the release of an update, especially with the ongoing pandemic and parts shortages. It appears that Nintendo is confident enough in the Switch line of systems to offer a more tech-savvy console, without alienating the system’s current player base. The PS5 and Xbox Series X / S haven’t been around for long, but now they have to compete with Nintendo’s latest hybrid machine.
