Owning the Nintendo Switch OLED model has been a fun and rewarding experience. The biggest difference from the original Switch is the upgraded screen. The new OLED display is brighter, more colorful, and has much deeper contrast. Games look more vibrant and detailed, especially when playing in handheld mode. This makes the OLED model feel like a big improvement for those who enjoy portable gaming. The design of the Switch OLED also feels more polished. The larger seven-inch screen has thinner bezels, and the wider, adjustable kickstand is a huge improvement over the flimsy stand on the original model. It makes playing in tabletop mode much easier and more stable. The upgraded speakers also deliver clearer sound, which makes the gaming experience more immersive without needing headphones.

my 12 year old son would say the additional gigabytes from 32 to 64 was his number one selling point so he would be less worried about running out of space when adding games to the device. overall it’s a more sleek design and meshes well with other furniture or electronics in my home. It has a bigger screen and a better kickstand than the original model which easily broke off. affordability wise, if your budgeting, you could also go for the older model, which would give you a lower price point, but if you’re going to invest, you might as well invest in new.

To preface this, I bought my OLED to replace my OG 2017 launch Switch. I only ever play my Switch in handheld, and when this was first announced I was skeptical if the upgrade would be worth it. My OG Switch was starting to show its age (with thousands of gametime hours) with battery life issues and loud cooling fans, so I took the plunge about a month after release. I can wholeheartedly say I LOVE THE UPGRADE. The smaller bezels and OLED screen are huge gamechanges for handheld players, the better sound and battery life is very welcomed as well! I can't speak to those who play docked, but for handheld users, the screen really does make a difference. My only small complaints are that 1) there seems to be some screen variances with slight green tint (does not effect gameplay however) and 2) because the OLED is ever so slightly wider, my Satisfye grip (as well as grips from other companies) will not work with it. Despite these two small quirks (again, they aren't major issues and don't affect how I enjoy playing) I'm incredibly happy with the upgrade.

It surprised me how many games Nintendo actually supports! I was between this and the Steam Deck, but I went with the Switch and I really couldn't be happier. Given the portability of the console, the various ways to play, and the literal thousands of games to choose from, it really made the purchase worth it. Plus, being able to buy both physical media and digital downloads gives lots of options for great deals on games. The OLED screen is large and bright with fantastic color, and it plays beautifully on my 4K HDR TV while docked.

I bought the original Switch and when the new OLED version, came out I had to get it to share with my daughter. I am considering trading my old Switch in for the Switch 2.

After having some issues with my launch day Switch I figured it was finally time for an upgrade. After having this system for half a year I've got to say that this is a very premium feeling system. Stronger build with more internal storage, substantially better screen quality, sound, & kickstand. However for those who don't play in handheld mode this might not be worth the upgrade. Especially with the next generation system right around the corner.

Amazing work by Best Buy they were very helpful and efficient. Ten out of ten recommended. My Nintendo switch runs and play AMAZING. This is one more great thing to have. It is portable and easy to use. Best Buy had it ready in 1hr after my online purchase.

The Switch OLED has amazing upgrades and benefits for those who primarily play in handheld mode. The OLED screen is a very big step up from the LCD, offers a larger viewing area, and is made of glass rather than plastic. The screen quality is superb, and it is legitimately difficult to go back to an older model once you get used to the OLED. Many games look so good that playing through them again on this screen is almost like a new experience. That being said, the actual internals are no different from the non-OLED models, so you get no extra horsepower or boost. If you play mainly docked on your TV, your benefits are limited to a newly designed dock that is not as tight of a fit, offers more ventilation for heat, and has a built in LAN port. It would not be recommended as you will see no other benefits, and Nintendo sells the new dock on its own and the older models will worth with them. But if you play a lot in handheld like I do, the upgrade is fantastic as has been well worth it for me.

It's a pretty great switch. Remember you bought this for the screen so don't expect a different experience from the OG switch. However, the battery life is vastly improved, the screen size increase is definitely a game changer, and the OLED feature does make games look pretty.

I love this toy! The graphics are amazing compared to the previous models; especially with the bigger screen. You enjoy the handheld experience a lot more. Just be mindful of the joysticks; a bit gentle sometimes.

The first thing I noticed was how beautiful the OLED screen looked. It has deep blacks and vibrant colors. Being able to play on docked mode with my TV as well as being able to take it on the go is a complete game-changer. There's some flexibility on how you can build your games collection. You're able to purchase games digitally on the Nintendo E-Shop or buy traditional game cartridges. There's such a wide collection of games that caters to both families looking for co-op or individuals looking for single-player games which makes the switch such a great purchase. I do wish though that the switch comes with more internal storage. I anticipate needing to buy another SD card in the near future to hold my digital downloads. If you want to keep a physical collection, it isn't anything to worry about. If you're looking for the best graphics and internals, you're not going to get it in the Switch. What you're really paying for is the Nintendo exclusives and flexibility to play it in docked mode or on the go.

I love the new OLED screen on the switch.. it has a much more premium feel than the original switch. Battery life is still decent and of course, the portability of the console means you can take it everywhere with you (and I do).

I already have a Switch but I knew I had to get this one for the larger OLED screen, if this is your first Switch, I highly recommend it, however if you already own a Switch, I may be hesitate, except for the OLED screen, theres no improvements in hardware and a little expensive.

To stat off, before this upgrade I was rocking the Mario Odyssey Launch Switch. While it has served its purpose for the last 4 years, it was getting pretty tired. The battery life was not great, and the screen was small. I play in mostly handheld mode, never docked. When I heard that Nintendo was going to release an updated model, aimed at handheld players, I was all over it. First things first, do not pay scalper pricing. This thing is WORTH $350, but not anymore. Secondly, the screen on this thing is amazing. While it is not that much bigger on paper, but it looks alot bigger in person. The colors are 150% better than the original's screen also. When I first got it, I was popping in games and just looking at how much better they look. The battery life is also significantly better. If you are manly a handheld player and have a launch switch, I would say UPGRADE! We do not know when the "Switch Pro" is going to come, but this will definitely hold me off until then. BUY IT!

Got it as a gift for my wife to replace her broken one. The screen is way bigger, brighter, and easier to use. The kickstand is perfect and she loves it more than her old one. Highly recommend the updated Switch if you need to replace one or get a new one for yourself.

Amazing product, my son loves to play games and the colorful graphics of the games are a special attraction. Excellent definition in Nintendo games, but be careful when the games are from other manufacturers because the quality drops, much more due to the game developer than the Nintendo product. I'm already looking at accessories so I can continue to take my video game wherever I want.

I bought this for my roommate for her 30th birthday. She has always loved Pokemon but like most of us doesn't play like she used to. It's coming up a year since buying it and playing it myself and I think it's a solid investment for personal entertainment. My only complaint is that I'm not the biggest Nintendo fan personally. I like my Sony, but that's only due to personal preferences. If you're not a die hard Nintendo fan then don't buy this. But if you are or you know someone that is then this is a solid purchase. The OLED screen is unbelievable. It's better quality than my living room TV. The battery life last for a chunk of time and the speakers though tiny are impressive. I'm thinking about buying Breath of the Wild for it.

I was debating what switch model to get for a long time, and a coworker suggested the OLED for the better graphics and slightly bigger screen size, and I was sold. Especially since it's only $50 more than the first version. The stand feels more stable as well. And the battery lasts longer than I expected, so that's great.

This is a beauty of a portable console. Looks a lot sleeker and feels more premium. The bigger screen and being OLED is noticeable every time you pick it up. I had a swicth lite previously and this was a worthy upgrade. Having an OLED screen on the go is really something.

Just snagged the new Nintendo Switch OLED from Best Buy, and wow, it's a total game-changer! The OLED display is mind-blowing. Colors are vibrant, and the contrast is out of this world. Plus, the bigger 7-inch screen makes everything look even better. The build quality is solid, controls are responsive, and it feels great in your hands. The 64GB storage is a huge improvement, giving me plenty of room for all my games. And battery life is pretty decent, though I wish it was a bit better. If you're a Nintendo fan or love gaming on the go, this upgrade is a no-brainer. The OLED display and enhanced features take the Switch to a whole new level. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
