This week Nintendo announced that it was raising prices for its Switch products and associated accessories. The range varies, and the premium OLED model for the Switch is set to be $400, which is a $50 bump up from the original $350. However, the Switch OLED is currently available for a great price of just $290 thanks to a discount (purchase link under the specs table down below).
As the major upgrade on the OLED model is the screen itself, for those wondering, the screen size on the OLED is bigger by 0.8 inches; the bezels are also narrower so the user can enjoy more screen real estate when gaming alongside the higher colors and contrast that OLED brings with it.
Display aside, the OLED model also packs double the internal storage capacity at 64GB. The technical specifications of the Nintendo Switch OLED are given below:
