Our quick take

Nintendo Switch OLED model - 5.0 / 5

What’s different?

  • 7-inch OLED display 64GB built-in storage Enhanced audio output Large, multi-positional rear kickstand Dock includes Ethernet/LAN port (in place of one USB)

  • Console dimensions (with Joy-Con controllers): 102mm x 242mm x 13.9mm Console weight (with Joy-Con controllers): 420g / (without Joy-Con controllers): 320g 7-inch OLED panel, 720 x 1280 native resolution (1920 x 1080 60fps maximum TV output)

Super games

  • Play on TV, on-the-go, on desktop Limited third-party apps (no Netflix, for example) Nintendo eShop downloads or cartridge purchases

  • Top Nintendo Switch games: Best games to own

To recap

Don’t confuse this console with the rumoured ‘Switch Pro’ and, for buyers wanting the best of both portable mobile and desktop play experiences (running it on a TV is the same as the ’normal’ Switch) the OLED model is clearly the best of Nintendo’s line-up. Its bigger, brighter and altogether better screen undeniably makes for a top experience. That said, for current Switch owners it’s not a game-changing one like the original console. In the same breath, however, given the years of games releases, there’s no doubt that this is one of the finest - if not the finest - mobile games consoles ever made.
