Our Take
The Nintendo Switch OLED Model is an updated version of Nintendo's hybrid home-and-handheld console, released in 2021. It plays the full Switch game library and suits anyone who frequently games on the go or on a small screen. It sits above the original Switch and Lite in Nintendo's lineup but below a full home console experience.
Key Features
7-inch OLED screen with noticeably richer colours and deeper blacks than the original Switch's LCD
Adjustable wide kickstand running the full width of the rear, more stable than the original's narrow tab
64GB internal storage (double the original Switch's 32GB), expandable via microSD
Wired LAN port built into the revised dock for more reliable online play at home
Enhanced built-in speakers compared to the original model
Supports docked TV play, handheld, and tabletop modes like all Switch models
Our Verdict
Buy it if you play primarily in handheld or tabletop mode and want the best screen Nintendo currently offers on Switch. If you game almost exclusively on your telly, save money with the standard Switch. Those holding out for a more powerful successor may prefer to wait.
