Nintendo's new Switch, the OLED screen is still 720P, users suspect it comes from Audi's inventory

Nintendo Switch has been on the market for more than four years. Judging from market rules, it is time for an upgrade, or at least a "half-generation upgrade."

Since last year, there has been endless speculation in the industry about the new version of Switch, but Nintendo has not responded positively and did not reveal any information about the new console at the E3 game show in June.

Just when people thought that the new Switch might not be launched this year, on the evening of July 6, Nintendo suddenly announced that the new Switch will be launched on October 8, priced at US$350, or approximately RMB 2,267.72, while there is no release information for the Chinese version yet.

The focus of the upgrade of the new Switch is the screen. The screen size has increased from 6.2 inches to 7 inches, the material has been changed from LCD to OLED, and the border has been narrowed. However, what is surprising is that its resolution is still 720P.

Some netizens said that in this age where 2K and 4K are everywhere, where did Nintendo find the source of these "antique" OLED screens?

In this regard, some people analyzed that these screens are probably the backlog of screen inventory from the 2018 Audi e-tron. After all, this kind of "electronic waste" is not easy to find.

In other aspects, the storage space in the console has been upgraded from 32GB to 64GB, a LAN interface has been added to the base, and a black and white color scheme has been added to the original red and blue color scheme.

Generally speaking, the upgrade between the new generation Switch and the existing version is not obvious, and the base and Joy Con controllers of the new and old models can be mixed.

Many rumors have claimed that the new Switch will support 4K resolution, so this upgrade may disappoint some players. However, I believe that even so, there will be many players willing to pay for a better handheld mode experience. After all, the Switch is not a console that focuses on performance. Flexible gameplay and a rich lineup of exclusive games are its winning magic weapon.
