Following Talk of Smaller Revisions, New Rumours Suggest Nintendo Could Be Looking Into Upgrading the Switch 2 with an OLED Screen
The model would use a 1,920 x 1,080 rigid OLED panel as Nintendo weighs a follow-up to the Switch 2 LCD, sources said.
- Nintendo is reportedly evaluating a Switch2 OLED model featuring a 1,920 x 1,080 FHD rigid panel supplied by Samsung Display, expanding the company's console lineup beyond the Nintendo Switch arriving this autumn.
- Historically, Nintendo has favored a staggered release schedule to extend hardware lifecycles, following the original Switch's pattern of launching an OLED version four years after its 2017 debut.
- If greenlit, development for the Switch2 OLED could begin late this year, targeting mass production for late 2027 or 2028 to extend the console's lifecycle.
- This potential model would increase resolution from 1,280 x 720 to 1,920 x 1,080 FHD, providing a significant visual enhancement for the Switch.
- The upgrade remains uncertain due to a price gap between LCD and OLED panels, compounded by rising semiconductor costs, though Samsung Display is reportedly vying to secure the contract should Nintendo proceed.
