In early July, without the slightest warm-up and press conference, Nintendo’s new Nintendo Switch OLED version was officially released. It is reported that the Switch OLED version will be on sale on October 8, priced at 2,680 Hong Kong dollars.
It is reported that the new version of the Switch screen is upgraded to a 7-inch OLED screen. Although the OLED screen has richer and more saturated colors and more obvious contrast, the OLED screen will inevitably cause image retention due to the same pattern staying in the same position for a long time.
A few days ago, according to media reports, Nintendo responded to the hidden dangers of OLED burn-in and aging that players are concerned about. Nintendo said that it will extend the life of the OLED screen as much as possible, but if the screen is left in a static state for a long time, it may still burn.
Players can take preventive measures to protect the screen, such as using the automatic brightness adjustment function and automatic sleep function to prevent the screen from burning. In this regard, many users complained, True reverse upgrade, in addition, some players said that this wave of Nintendo is really reverse marketing.
According to reports, in addition to the screen upgrade, the Switch OLED version has a storage upgrade to 64GB, support for SD card expansion, a wired LAN interface in the base, and a new adjustable angle bracket and a new speaker.
It is worth mentioning that the new version of Switch has no major changes in CPU and memory. Nintendo claims that the Switch OLED version will have a battery life of 9 hours, which is consistent with the original Switch.
In addition, the original Joy-Cons controller can be adapted to the new Switch, and all existing Switch games can run on the new Switch. Data show that as of June 2021, the total global sales of Nintendo Switch (including Switch and Switch Lite) have reached 87.43 million units.
