Nintendo Switch Oled Black Nintendo Console

Launched in October 2021, the OLED Model is the premium upgrade to the original Nintendo Switch. It retains the same hybrid console concept—playable in TV, handheld, or tabletop mode—but enhances the experience with visual, audio, and ergonomic upgrades.


Display & Design
7‑inch OLED capacitive touch screen, offering richer contrast and deeper blacks than the 6.2‑inch IPS display on the original Switch. While still 720p resolution (210 ppi), it delivers significantly better vibrant visuals.

Wider kickstand spanning the full width of the console, adjustable for more stable viewing when in tabletop mode.


Refreshed dock: includes a built‑in wired LAN port for more reliable online play—no adapter needed—and a cleaner, slightly redesigned interior.


Slight changes in size and weight: it’s marginally larger and heavier (about 422 g with Joy‑Cons) than the original, but the difference feels minimal in use.


Audio Improvements
Enhanced onboard stereo speakers, which deliver clearer and more nuanced audio compared to previous models.


Wireless audio supported—via Bluetooth headphones—with a firmware update across the Switch family.


Storage & Performance
64 GB internal storage (about 55 GB usable after system files), double the 32 GB that original models offered.



Internally, the hardware—Tegra X1+ CPU, GPU, and 4 GB RAM—remains unchanged from earlier Switch models. As such, there’s no improvement in performance or graphical fidelity.


Battery & Usage Modes
Estimated battery life remains consistent with earlier models—4.5 to 9 hours, depending on game and usage.


Charges to full in around 3 hours in sleep mode.


Modes include:

Handheld Mode – portable use with Joy‑Con attached and OLED screen.

Tabletop Mode – flip out the kickstand and use detached Joy‑Cons.

TV Mode – connect via dock and HDMI for 1080p output on a big screen.
