    Beautiful console, the OLED display is a huge upgrade and definitely recommend getting over the original models. It connects really quickly to the TV and battery lasts a long time. I love gaming on my switch.

    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

    A Modest Upgrade for Handheld Players

    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.

    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.

    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

    Absolutely the best way to experience the nintendo switch. The OLED makes a huge difference when playing hand held mode. If your a first time buyer or looking to upgrade, worth it.

    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.

    Finally upgraded myself from the v2 Switch to the OLED and wow! The screen is fantastic, and the extra memory is much appreciated as a mostly digital game buyer. I game in handheld 99% of the time and the OLED is such a joy to use. I’m extremely happy with the upgrade!

    If you have a non OLED switch go throw that trash away right now. The OLED is better in every way imaginable. Picture quality, clarity, color correctness, screen size, better stand design, SUPER NICE WHITE DOCK AND JOYCONS. Seriously its great. needs more on device storage but whatever

    I feel like I made a decision to go with this model instead of the 2nd version since the screen is much bigger and crisp thanks to the OLED technology. This is my first switch and it is handling everyday gaming very well! It can be a bit pricy for some people, but it's worth the extra for the improved display!

    Not An Essential Upgrade But Very Pretty

    If you don't already own a Switch, this could be a must-buy. The screen is substantially better than the original model. It's larger, brighter and sharper with much more vibrant colors. Honestly the old Switch looked fantastic already for a 720p screen, but this one blows it away. It is a tiny bit wider and maybe heavier, but nothing noticeable. The white controllers and dock are nice touch as well. And I love the kickstand. It can go to any angle now, which was one of my biggest complaints. They've also improved the speakers which sound louder and clearer. But if you only play your Switch in docked mode, this is pointless to own. But if you play in handheld, don't mind the price tag and must own the very best, this is a good upgrade.

    Quality of shell and buttons is improved. Screen is amazing, love the look of games in handheld mode. The feel of the shell feels more durable, and the kickstand is now a really good stand, feels more sturdy. You can definitely play laying down in bed with the new stand. Worth the money, best option of the Switch yet.
