Nintendo Switch (OLED model) with White Joy-Con

Worth it if you’re a handheld player
This moderate upgrade of the Nintendo Switch is definitely worth spending an extra $50 to get if you are already in the market for a new Switch. The most important question though, is if it’s worth it for the people who already own a Switch. This depends a lot on personal preference as well as how old your current switch is (and if you own the original HAC001 from 2017-2019 or the V2 that released in late summer of 2019). I mostly play in handheld mode because that is what this console excels at, for playing on a TV/Monitor, there are plenty of better options.So what do you get with this OLED model? You get a larger screen that is OLED instead of IPS LCD. This is the type of screen that most iPhones have used since 2017 (and all of them use it now except for the SE2). You get a better contrast ratio, meaning deeper blacks and brighter colors/whites. There is no HDR support like Dolby Vision or HDR10, but it still looks leagues better than all the other Switch models. The smaller borders around the screen make the device look more modern and it’s the size they should have gone with from the beginning (even if the logistics of using OLED wasn’t feasible in 2017). There is also improved speakers, they do sound better and make the games your playing sound larger and more immersive. It’s not as big of a difference as the new screen is to the old screen, but it’s still a good thing to include.Another new features is a better kickstand that is more like that of a Surface Pro tablet, allowing the Switch to be able to lean all the way back and be much more sturdy while doing so. This isn’t really important unless you play in tabletop mode, but this is more realistic of a way to use this console with the screen being just that much bigger, I could see myself using a Pro controller and sitting the switch down for certain types of games.The last difference here is the dock, which has a built in Ethernet port, which you should really use if you have the option to go wired. Unlike in the previous model “regular Switch”, a wired connection is basically twice as fast as using standard WiFI, before it was only about 1.5x as fast. It still is unfortunate that you cannot achieve 100Mbps download speeds, but 60-65 is better than the 40-45 I was getting on my older model.If I had to oversimplify who should buy the OLED model, I would say that these two types of people should buy the OLED (even if they already have a Switch Lite or V2) It would be: techie people who are nerdy about their tech and want the best they can get (even when they don’t need it), and serious gamers who sink hundreds and hundreds of hours into playing the Switch in handheld mode.Also, I don’t know that we need to specify this anymore because the switch OLED has largely been in stock since early January. But I did not and would not pay one penny more than $350 (plus tax) for this console. I think it’s worth that price if you love Nintendo characters/games, but I don’t think the hardware is worth more than $400 and the tax gets it pretty close to that.

Já tinha um PS5 e um XSS, comprei o Switch e não me arrependi, no fim hoje é o console que mais jogo, pois gosto de ver séries na TV e jogar no Switch ao mesmo tempo, até peguei um ROG Ally e achei que I Switch ficaria em segundo plano, mas devido a bateria ruim desse PCs portáteis, acabei voltando para o Switch, a versão OLED ficou ainda melhor, com a imagem ainda mais bonita, jogos como Sea of Stars ficam lindas nessa tela.

DESCRIÇÃO DO PRODUTO:- É um Switch preto- Dock É preto- Controles são coloridos assim como os que aparecem nas fotos- Não queria um switch branco e confesso que fiquei na dúvida quando comprei se seria igual as fotos do anúncio, mas ele é igual ao das fotos. Bem certinho.OBSERVAÇÕES:- No anúncio as fotos são de um switch em ingles, o que não é o caso. O Switch que vem é de algum país asiático (original e tudo certo) essa questão de compatibilidade dos jogos já está resolvida a bastante tempo e não é problema nenhum.- Único problema dele é que ele vem com a tomada do carregador fora do padrão brasileiro mas isso o vendedor atenciosamente ajuda a resolver enviando um adaptador dentro da caixa do Switch para que direto da caixa ele já possa ser carregado e utilizado.AVALIAÇÃO:- 5 estrelas- Baita console- Embarque da compra foi rápido e tudo certo com a embalagem- Recomendo muito, a portabilidade dele é muito útil. Gostei muito e se soubesse que era tão legal teria comprado antes!

After much anticipation, I finally got my hands on the Nintendo Switch OLED edition, and it has not disappointed me. A remarkable upgrade in the Nintendo Switch line, this console offers an immersive gaming experience that is hard to beat.The first thing that struck me about the OLED Switch is the improved battery life. It lasts hours longer than the previous versions, which is a significant advantage for extended gaming sessions. The sound quality is another highlight, offering a louder and clearer output, enhancing the overall gaming experience.The star feature of this console, however, is undoubtedly the larger OLED screen. It offers a more vibrant and visually pleasing gaming experience. I found myself gravitating towards playing games in handheld mode more often due to the superior quality of the OLED screen.The console also boasts a robust library of Nintendo exclusives. Games like Mario Odyssey, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Metroid Dread, and many others provide hours of entertainment. The Switch also supports a wide range of indie games and classics from the Nintendo archive, making it a versatile console for any gaming enthusiast.The Nintendo Switch OLED is also perfect for on-the-go gaming. It’s excellent for road trips, and it’s been a hit with both the kids and adults in my family. The joy-cons are detachable, offering different ways to play, and I’ve found that I enjoy playing it linked to my TV the most, especially when playing with multiple players.One minor drawback is the increased weight and size due to the larger screen, which can make handheld gaming slightly more strenuous over time. However, the improved gaming experience offered by the OLED screen more than makes up for this.In conclusion, the Nintendo Switch OLED is a fantastic gaming console that offers a blend of handheld convenience and immersive gaming experience. It’s an excellent choice for both new gamers and existing Nintendo Switch owners looking for an upgrade. It’s worth every penny, and I highly recommend it to all gaming enthusiasts.
