on my right arm i've got the original nintendo switch and on my left arm i've got the nintendo
switch oled which is a new release and it's supposed to be an updated version of
the regular version if you're looking to pick up one of these and aren't sure which one to go for
then this video might just help you out i'm going to go through the major differences the features
that have been added to the oled version of the nintendo switch hopefully by the end of this video
you can decide whichever one you want to go for or you can just understand what the differences
are between both of these consoles and there's not much difference to be honest with you guys i know
most of you guys just like me were expecting more of a complete overhaul to create a new
nintendo switch maybe a two or a pro but we got an oled version instead which is honestly the
main feature that separates the oled version from the regular version there's only a few differences
between both of these consoles and i don't know if that's enough to warrant an upgrade for some of
you guys out there that already have the regular switch but if you don't have a switch i think it
might be worth considering getting the oled model there's also a small price difference between both
of these consoles okay let's go ahead and see the key differences between both these models first of
all i'm going to talk about the screen the screen is probably one of the most important parts of any
handheld console especially because you're going to be looking at it throughout the entire time
you're using that console the original switch has a 6.2 inch lcd screen and lcd screens are okay
there's nothing wrong with them i'm not saying they're bad but in comparison to oled which is
the newest trend it's crazy after gaming on both consoles display i realized that the oled version
is a whole lot better i'm talking almost 10 times better at least in my opinion and i know you guys
can see that as well the new oled model comes with a richer display a 7 inch oled display so that's a
whole lot larger than 6.2 inches so this one's got a way better display and i'm sure you guys
can notice right off the bat the thing is i know some of you guys might not care about the display
quality you don't really care about a larger screen you just want a console that can actually
play the games that you like to play but if you're like me then you'd prefer to game on
an oled display that's a lot larger so all that displays tend to have blacker blacks
whiter whites more vibrant colors as well as a higher brightness so things look even brighter
and richer contrast everything looks pristine more color accuracy let me know down in the
comment section if you care about the oled display the original nintendo switch only comes with 32
gigabytes of internal storage so that's as much as you can store on the internal storage of the
console you can always use an sd card as well to expand storage so this part might not even
really matter because you can do it for both of them but the oled version has 64 gigabytes of
internal storage so that's 32 gigabytes more than the original nintendo switch and most
people don't really care about on-board storage especially when you can expand it so this part
might not really matter honestly i wouldn't really care because i just get an sd card and use that
regardless of which console that i have there's also the option of game cards which are basically
like game discs for xbox series x playstation 5 and the like so consoles are required discs
this one uses a gain card or cartridge so i'll say the storage is certainly not a deal breaker
between both of these another major upgrade is in the kickstand for tabletop mode so when you're
gaming in tabletop mode you want to be able to have a stable console you don't want your console
to fall off and break so the stand on the original nintendo switch is pretty small it's thin and it's
not adjustable that is honestly not something that i would want but the oled model on the other hand
has a wider and more adjustable base so you can adjust it all the way up all the way down and
have better tabletop gaming mode and that way your nintendo switch is a lot safer and more
stable while gaming in tabletop mode so this might not be a deal breaker for some of you guys as well
but if you game in tabletop mode a lot you should probably consider going for the oled
model or upgrading from your current model if you're experiencing issues with the stand so that
stand is thin the last major difference between both of these consoles is in the docking station
so the docking stations are basically the same thing the major difference between the both of
them is the lan cable input so that port is going to allow you to use wired connection whenever
you're gaming in tv mode so when you have it docked and connected to your tv you can have more
stable internet connection when you're gaming online with friends and the likes so if that
matters to you then you should definitely consider the oled version because now you have better
internet connection but if you don't game online a lot or don't really care about that stuff and
want to game off of wi-fi then you can go ahead and grab the original nintendo switch or keep
the one that you already have because i don't see a point in upgrading just based on that some of
the buttons have also been modified a little bit but all the buttons remain the same so everything
else remains the same so those are basically the major differences between the nintendo switch and
the oled model there's not much difference like i said and if you already have one of
these i'm talking about the regular version then upgrading might not be a smart decision
unless you've been experiencing issues with one of these new features that have been added to
the oled version on your regular nintendo switch version say you're struggling with the kickstand
and you want a better and more stable kickstand then you can consider an upgrade if you care about
more on board storage then you can go ahead and grab the oled version as well or upgrade from your
current version but i don't really see the point of that one because you can go ahead and add an sd
card and just increase the storage on your current console so it's up to you to make that decision
but for me the biggest and main reason why i'll tell anybody to go ahead and grab the oled model
or upgrade their current console is that seven inch oled display that's the main reason right
there bigger and better screen that's all you're going to be staring at that screen throughout your
entire time with that console so why not have a better screen i'd like you guys to comment down
below which one of these consoles you'll be going for or which one you already have or which one is
just your preference even if you're not going to be getting any of them and also let me know if
you think these upgrades on the new oled switch are even worth it at all or if nintendo should
have waited till the next iteration i'm talking the nintendo switch pro or nintendo switch 2 to
completely overhaul the entire device i'm talking internals 4k video all that cool stuff that all
these new next-gen consoles are getting because this is not very next-gen this is more current jan
you know like a different variant of the current nintendo switch so honestly like i said the
biggest thing that should motivate anybody to grab one of these all that versions is the screen
that's it for me at least personally that's it either way i think they're both great consoles
but the switch oled model is definitely my pick i would go for that but i'm also a first-time user
of the nintendo switch so i'm going directly for the one that's you know the latest one if
you're looking to pick up one of these consoles you can look down in the description i'll have
some links that you guys can follow to check for the best prices here's a universal bag
and screen protector for both the switch and the oled model so this works for both of them
there's a screen protector for each one as you can see right there as well as a protective bag
so i've got it installed on my console right here as you can already see the switch fits perfectly
into that bag i've also included a link to the bag and screen protector combo down in the description
below i need you guys to go ahead and comment switch olad down in the description below if you
