Engineering:Nintendo Switch OLED Model
Nintendo officially announced a new model called the Nintendo Switch – OLED Model On 6 July 2021. The OLED model features a 7-inch (180 mm) 720p OLED display, and when docked, output to 1080p resolution. Additionally, it features 64 GB of internal storage, enhanced audio functions, a magnesium alloy body and a wider adjustable stand for use in tabletop mode. The unit ships with a new dock that includes a wired LAN port.[1] It features similar technical specifications as the base Switch model, and is compatible with all Switch games and existing accessories.[2] The unit ships in two bundles: one that includes a black dock and red and blue Joy-Con (similar to the base model's default color scheme), and one that includes a white dock and white Joy-Con. It was released on October 8, 2021, alongside the release of Metroid Dread, with a retail price of $349.99.[1] Ahead of the release of the OLED version on September 13, 2021, Nintendo reduced the base price of the original Switch model in Europe from €329.99 to €299.99, and in the UK from GB£279.99 to GB£259.99, which Nintendo said also reflected changes in currency exchange rates.[3] All other regions – including North America and Australia – did not receive a price cut.[4] Three special-edition models were released: those for Splatoon 3,[5] Pokémon Scarlet and Violet,[6] and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.[7]
