I mean, when talking about battery life: the Switch 2 is shorter whilst the OLED has it last longer. The thing is, there are games I want to play that are exclusive to Switch 2 (like HW: Age of Imprisonment or DK Banaza), I do have a ToTK special edition OLED switch though. The only difference is performance (as it’s 1080p handheld supporting up to 4K at 120 fps).
They are increasing the console price worldwide, it’s ¥49,980 ($309 / 270€) as of now but later it’ll become ¥59,980 ($371 / 324€), so should I purchase it? Also the console will become $500 / 500€ (for now it remains at $450 / 470€) I’ve heard that a new variant is releasing in 2027 with a portable battery, even then is the console still worth purchasing?
Do you mostly play in TV-mode or portable? In the latter case, I’d wait for an OLED version of the Switch 2 personally, as the current model has a screen that’s pretty mid and which will definitely feel like a downgrade from Switch OLED.
The new variant with a changeable battery is Europe-only, so if you’re located outside of Europe (or UAE/Oman/Saudi Arabia) you won’t be able to easily get it.
Funny. I think the Switch 2 display is a lot better than even the OLED Switch 1 one, at least when it’s not about displaying stark black content.
The main issues of Switch 2’s display are an extremely slow response time as well as prominent ghosting/blur. You can see some measurements here for example. It’s not too bad when it comes to color reproduction and of course it’s higher resolution, so I guess it depends on how much you care about motion clarity and response time compared to that. But in those 2 categories, it’s measurably pretty bad.
