Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have both the normal Switch, and this, the OLED model. They perform exactly the same, but the OLED model is far better. The screen is bigger, and because it is OLED, every game looks amazing on it. The black is black and the colors really pop. I feel it's totally worth the extra money.

This is perfect for gaming while I am traveling. It is easy to carry, making it convenient. The screen is clear and bright, providing a great gaming experience. The graphics are not as good as my xbox, but are acceptable. Overall, it’s a reliable and enjoyable choice for mobile gaming.

This was a great purchase. Love playing the classic Nintendo games as well as the new games. It's nice being able to play on the go or docked and displayed on the TV. This a versatile and fun gaming system. Images look great on the OLED screen.

Love it, portable and easy to use. The screen is easy to see.

This console is awesome, the storage space allows you to download many games. The screen has great quality and graphics. I also enjoy how you can play on the console or hook up to the TV.

If you love nintendo games + amazing graphics then this is what you want! My girlfriend and I had the original model and used it frequently for a couple of years! Eventually we decided it was time for an upgrade, so we went all in on the OLED Model… WORTH IT!

Was very excited to learn about the OLED display upgrade right after needing a second Switch at home. The upgrade comes with a slightly bigger OLED display that makes colors pop, great for those who play undocked. Quality of life updates include the dock redesign to avoid scratching, but the added roominess may feel a bit shaky when docking the Switch. The Switch shell is now metal, but at the cost of the cartridge insert feeling a bit finicky when opening and closing it. The short stand is now a full-length stand, which is so much better in stability. No need for an external Ethernet adapter as it's now built into the dock. You can now get it in black and white (much like the PS5) or in the good ol' neon red and blue. Transfer process was a breeze and I moved my games and Animal Crossing island without issue. The only annoying part was having to reregister my games on the home screen by plugging them all in one at a time, since I picked up a new MicroSD card. Altogether, a definite upgrade for those who play portably and are looking for those quality of life changes, but for those who mostly stay docked, you're probably best off waiting for a trade-in deal or a potential future Pro model.

Being an older gamer makes me enjoy the extra screen real estate, it’s easier on my eyes to read the smaller text. Oh, let’s not forget OLED. BOTW looked great before but now it’s an entirely different level. Also coming from a version one with abysmal battery life, I play with the brightness all the way up, this things just seems to last.

Ok, so I had the original launch switch and upgraded to the animal crossing version not to long ago. I bought this as well and 100% do not regret it. If you play in docked mode, just keep the switch you have. If you play in portable mode or are purchasing your first, just buy it. The screen is beautiful. It makes you want to replay all your games.

A worthy upgrade from the original Switch. Every game feels refreshed in handheld mode. The screen size increase along with OLED makes things feel “HD”. Colors are definitely more vibrant. Better sound and feels a bit sturdier. Love the Docking station upgrades as well despite it not changing the overall docking experience in-game.

My girlfriend is extremely happy with her gift! She plays this thing more than I do with mine. This one is a win for us both!

Totally awesome. Oled screen is brighter than the normal version, not that the normal version is bad.

Graphics are so much nicer than my old switch, battery lasts SO long. This switch is worth the extra money compared to the regular switch. I can leave my switch and the next day the charge will be same. If it’s not being used neither is the battery really.

From the standpoint of an upgrade to the existing Switch, the OLED mostly delivers. It's sturdier, has a bigger screen and small bezel, and feels more premium. The OLED screen itself is considerably brighter and more vibrant which complements the colorful Switch library well. The increased system storage is a nice bonus too. That being said, the under-the-hood improvements are pretty much nonexistent which is fairly disappointing considering the price. If you can afford to swing the money because you want a nicer handheld experience, I recommend the OLED. If you primarily play docked, or this would be a difficult financial decision, I would definitely recommend waiting for any further updates before investing in the OLED.

this is a switch with a better screen, games look great but don't expect Netflix Hulu to get better since they don't exist on it which sucks. if you don't have a switch and want one get this one if you have an old one get the white Joycon and that's it and its excellent because it just improves the handheld version of the switch so yeah

While its not much of a size difference between this one and the original switch there is a little bit of a difference and its awesomeness! The oled screen is more clear and seems to make the display of the games look smoother. Its worth the wait to find one in stock!

The OLED screen of the new Switch is definitely worth the extra $50 dollars in price. Pictures and videos simply can’t show the sheer beauty of this screen, you have to see it in person. While there is no upgrade in power as far as the performance, the OLED panel and bigger size in screen are worth selling your old Switch and upgrading.

I am a complete gaming nerd and had the red box (second edition) Switch and finally decided after dealing with wobbly joy cons and a sub par screen in handheld mode, which made me never use it in handheld mode, decided to upgrade to the white OLED Model. Words cannot describe the quality upgrade in every aspect of the system. Let's start with build quality. This has newly designed joy con rails on each side of the console, the front half material is metal and the screen is actually glass, making a gentle wipe with a screen cleaning cloth actually able to clean the screen, the back is now a very hard matte plastic with the kickstand now the length of the entire console, it's on amazing smooth moving hinges and you can adjust it's angle to suite how you are playing in tabletop mode. Next the near inch larger OLED screen, I new it would be an improvement, but it is phenomenal, I now only play my Switch in n portable and am replaying games just to see them on that gorgeous screen, I have a very expensive TV, but it's 4K, Dolby Vision, HDR10, the Switch does not utilize my TV like my Xbox Series does. But it does utilize that gorgeous built-in OLED screen. Performance, OK so they say it's the same Tegra X1 as the red box Switch, something is improved, games run smoother, it has a smaller cooling fan that runs half as often. Every demanding game looks and runs more fluidly, some of that is the screen and how phenomenal it looks, but try I'm talking performance wise as well, I've heard it from other upgraders too. Now let's go to audio, it has all new speakers, now reviews said it's not a huge difference, it's a huge improvement trust me, max volume they are louder, and best way to describe it is just bigger sounding. No distortion, just another quality improvement that makes handheld play that much better. It also has a much better fitting dock. I'm pleased to say the battery life is the same as the V2 (red box) Switch, 4-9 hours depending what your playing. It actually takes less energy to run an OLED because there is no backlight the pixels themselves light up or for black completely turn off, why it has much deeper blacks. You get twice the onboard storage 64GB instead of the regular Switch's 32GB, and of course there is still the Micro SD expansion card slot to add more storage. For 50 more dollars than the standard Switch model you are getting improvements in every category, it's a tad heavier, but that's because of the better build quality and it's a tiny tiny bit bigger. And the design change goes internal, just know the internals layout has been revised in this model the changes aren't just skin deep. It is worth upgrading even if you already have the standard Switch. It's extremely worth upgrading, I now play it everywhere and it's so solidly built it actually feels like it it's not going to break, I would not drop it, but it definitely has a premium build quality as it is the premium Switch. I am so glad I upgraded. If your buying a Switch the 50 dollars extra is easily easily worth it.

The oled screen for this switch is absolutely amazing, The legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom, looks incredible on this screen, I can’t emphasize is enough, and the batter on it is also very good, and it’s overall a really solid Nintendo handheld

Beautiful screen, great graphics, no lag. Loving it
