Great device, too bad where Nintendo is headed. Steam deck is the best alternative.

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.

I bought this for my daughter. She loves it! She has not put it down siince. This is an upgrade to her older Switch. The size is great. Larger screen, better graphics. I would highly recommend purchasing this Switch gaming system for your gamer on the go.

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

Purchased as a gift for 11 year old and 9 year old. Easy to set up to charge. Easy to connect to TV. Excellent battery life for traveling. Impressed with colors and clarity on screen

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!

This is an awesome console, because of its size and weight its great for travel. The updated oled display and bigger screen makes games more fun to play and more pleasing to the eyes..cant wait for the next generation of this portable console..

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.

Incredible system graphics are great and user friendly

I am absolutely obsessed with this!!! Whether I am playing adventurous games by myself or with friends and family, it is an absolute win. So many games to choose from. It really brings friends and family together. I really enjoy the original games I grew up playing available with so many special new features and so clear and vibrant.

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

My daughter love it. She is enjoying her birthday gift.

Beautiful screen, great graphics, no lag. Loving it

Beautiful display. Battery life is good. Lots of cheap game selections. Only down side is it didn't come with any games. The bundle came out for the same price a month after we bought it.

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.

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.

I wasn't expecting just how much of a difference the screen was going to be when I bought this to replace my old, day one switch that has now been handed down to my daughter. Also, the battery life I get from this one seems at least twice as good as my old switch. I highly recommend the OLED switch to anyone that plays in handheld mode.

I've really enjoyed the Switch OLED. The display is beautiful and I love the flexibility in that I can play on my TV or take it with me and play in handheld mode. I've only played a couple games so far but I'm looking forward to signing up for the online service to get my fix of some retro NES games as well!

It turns out we've basically had the Nintendo Switch Pro this whole time... It's the one with removable Joy-Cons! And now it has an OLED screen and a real kickstand. Not to mention it has twice the memory (64 GB), which means you can store two games on the console now! Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to buy or upgrade their Switch.
