That's most likely a software/firmware update since the switch already has Bluetooth

me too. maybe they'll release a new pro controller with a headphone jack built into the controller. you know how backwards nintendo is...

I agree w some of the other comments, it is the same Malibu w a cheep hat, it would have been great for blue t capabilities for various reasons, but they just decided to charge 50 buks for NADA....,sry jus my opinion...

@@manuelsaavedra8081 there could be a number of reasons it lacks Bluetooth audio. It could be due to interference with controllers. Another could be due to licensing of appropriate codecs for low-latency Apt-X, having compatible headphones, etc. Its basically the same reason Wii didn't play DVDs, even though it had all the hardware to do it. They could issued an update, but they would have to pay for licensing on every system ever sold to provide such update. In short, I don't think its ever coming. If you want Bluetooth headphones, your best bet is to buy a Bluetooth adapter. I ended up biting the bullet and got a Homespot pro, which is pretty sweet. You could connect your phone and headphones at the same time. You can listen to music, use discord or even the Nintendo app (yuck), and do it in practical way. I absolutely love the adapter. As long as your headphones support low-latency aptx, you're good to go. It costs about $50 on amazon but it's worth it. It almost seems like everyone that owns a switch should have one. Its pretty awesome.

and then there is the fact that nintendo has been toying around with recent system updates adding functionality for some form of bluetooth audio at a system level...and yet here we are with the oled model and they did literally nothing with it. I'm sure they could have sold this pretty well to docked only users too by bullshiting us and saying only the oled model can do BT audio and ship it with that functionality even if the switch could do it

That isn’t really and still not 1080 lmao

@@monkeydan33 because the battery would drain faster

Nintendo is Sucks

They did with almost every other handheld.

@@monkeydan33 psvita had 950p but battery drained terribly on it.

At least you're not delusional like most people that thought they would have a new switch that would be as strong as a PS4 Pro or even an Xbox One X. But I would agree that an upgrade when it comes to framerate was needed to make this OLED switch worth it

nah y'all just had your expectations set way too high from rumors. I can't think of a single time nintendo made an iteration that was significantly more powerful/better than the base console. The switch is still selling really well with no sign of slowing down, they'd be idiots to destroy that momentum by introducing a way better pro version that directly competes with the base version If they were to make a new SoC then they'd need a ton of chips and the fabrication of those chips would be impossible cause of the gpu shortage. And having a 720p screen is way better than a 1080p screen cause of the lower power draw and less strain on the gpu, the battery would drain way faster if it was 1080p Also there's no way the switch would be able to have 4k upscaling, any chip equipped with DLSS would be way too expensive for anyone to actually want. Plus the switch draws like 10-12 watts and the ps5 and xbox series x have a tough time outputting 4k even though they have a ton of power draw

I don't understand why Nintendo would make a product that competes with their own product. If people care enough about handheld to spend an extra $50 on a feature that only matters in handheld model they'll probably just get a switch lite.

Still a waste if you ask me, you'd be paying like what 200 dollars more or maybe even 300-400 dollars just for a screen that's not even an inch bigger and a wider kickstand

@@Syner_7 it will probably work, nintendo would realise this

I think I prefer the current pixel density, I love my Switch in portable mode. However it's 99% of the time docked and played by the kids.

No one even started talking about the bezel or even had an issue with it until the rumors started about a larger OLED on a new model. The current Switch models screen doesn't bother me either.

@@nickprovence oh I've thought it was a waste of space from the beginning, however I'm also fine with what I have. I'd probably get the one with a smaller bezel if I didn't already have one, as long as the pixels weren't super apparent but bezels aren't that big a deal. I miss bezels on phones, I don't like accidently touching the screen but on PC monitors a bezel makes them look old, still not a big deal.

Same here except that i would actually like the OLED screen because i just think they generally look better

I will say this, though: if they sell the tablet separately (like they're doing the new dock), I will definitely consider it. I just don't want to give up my Halloween Joy-Cons

Most of the frame rate issues come from thermal throttling. If the current Switch had better cooling there wouldn't be a problem. I've witnessed somebody hack a Switch and squeeze 60 fps out of the witcher 3. This new Switch does have better cooling thus potential for it's Nvidia chip to turbo. And as for 4k all you need is an upscaler chip in the dock. Even the current dock uses an HDMI 1.4 port which can do 4k 30fps.

It's just the switch XL

@@JarilloYT As a Switch Apex player, *DON'T*. Getting it for a free battle royale game such as Apex is 100% not worth it and every other version on Playstation, Xbox, and PC are infinitely better.

Cool to see a different view - I only play docked and for Splatoon, all I really wanted was power, so this new one isn't really for me. I hope they make a stronger one sometime in the future.

@@trapsarentgay4195 also shut up lol

eh the display isn't going to be noticeably nicer, since you play in handheld it's normally further away enough to the point you don't notice details or a colour difference. in some games it could possibly help but not by a great amount since if you're playing something like split screen you might as well throw it on a big screen. the only time you might see a difference is if you're up close and personal which would just be uncomfortable. You do you but for an extra 50 you could spend it on something else like a game or an accessory. just a little idea for you.

That’s understandable. But as someone who mostly plays the game in docked mode, there’s no point for me to get it. Hope you enjoy it when you get it, though.

Quit sniffing Nintendos farts

Personally, I'm actually kind of glad it's not some kind of Pro model, cause I'm STILL pissed at Nintendo for the "New" 3DS that had games exclusive to that specific model of the 3DS, so I'm glad they didn't make any major hardware upgrades that would cause any future games to become exclusive to it.

Except at least Apple upgraded the guts a little bit in their S revisions. Nintendo didn't do jack shit in that regard.

Except apple doesn't charge more money, and instead cuts the price of the old model if they keep selling it (You will not catch me alive defending apple. No, they are truly evil. What i'm saying here is that Nintendo are even worse somehow)

@AndyK Yeah true, I heard that Nintendo’s OLED screens will also also be fractured by Samsung

I won't call this an upgrade (?) more like another version with OLED screen, more storage and that's all.

You are so incorrect and inaccurate

Hope it is. There’s $200 headphones that would be a way better purchase.

OLED screens are expensive!! That's why it's the namesake feature, and it's definitely the driving reason behind the price hike

@@moshowail3567 isnt oled horrible for gaming?

@@ArdaSReal not really, theoretically oleds have a response time of essentially 0ms

@@ArdaSReal it depends, OLED screens (especially slightly older or less high end ones) can create "display smear" (i.e. when pure black parts of the image move quickly they seem to have a purpleish trail) but this is far less pronounced on better modern OLED's, also high refresh rate OLED's are crazy expensive, and finally they used to have really crappy response times when they first came to market but that's been solved since then, but all of those factors combined early on in oled's life to give it the reputation that it's bad for gaming but given the switch use case none of those are really going to be issues, sorry for the long comment, but display technology is a really nuanced subject, hope this helped :)

Most current Switch owners won't by this, especially version 2 owners with the better battery life/brighter screen. I don't think many can justify paying 350 just for a slightly better screen with all due respect. Well unless your current one is on its way out.

Its definitely not worth it for someone who already owns a switch. But if I didnt own the switch then I would buy the oled version over regular switch. Biger screen is always a plus especially if it maintains same size and form factor. And sure you can buy lan adapter and third party kickstand but with the new switch version you dont need these extra accesories. But yeah if someone already owns a switch spending 350 just for better screen, kickstand and ethernet port isnt worth it.

Not worth it at all and I play handheld a lot. What's the point of an OLED when some games struggle to properly run at all?

Won’t buy it preffer overclocked OG switch any day to a Malibu Stacy.

I'll most likely buy ever revision. Did the same for the DS and 2DS/3DS family. Just something I enjoy doing.

The OLED screens use less energy than a comparable LCD so battery life shouldn't be effected.

this 100%. Major releases like Doom Eternal took so long to port because they are basikcally demaking it to an xbox 360 level.

Think of it this way. You put out SwitchPro, devs are going to build with that as their target. That means that everyone who doesn't own the Pro is gonna end up with a sub par game that may barely play. That's gonna be a lot of returns.

The colors and blacks should be much better. It's definitely going to be a noticeable difference.

@@logicalfundy Can't tell if your comment's satire or not

Well it's definitely gonna look better for games that run at native res. Like mario kart 8 and smash. In fact, those games are gonna look gorgeous because of the quality of the colors and contrast. The pixel density won't look that different in those scenarios. But games that run below native res, are gonna be more vibrant, but if they looked blurry on the base switch, obviously they're gonna look slightly more blurry on the bigger one

​@@boredianz It is factual. LCDs cannot go to a pure black because the liquid crystals can't block 100% of the backlight. This also means a pure green pixel has some slight red / blue so there's a decrease in saturation. OLED does not use a backlight, it can turn the individual pixels completely off for a pure black. Since it's a pure black and not a very dark grey, this means that a pure green pixel has no red / blue in it and will be a pure green. . . . so yes, colors and blacks are improved in OLED. I've seen OLED TVs, they are much better than LCDs.

And I bet they won't last that clean very long

Me too, my Wii U and my Xbox is white, so I really want that white dock and joycons

Not necessarily high quatily of image with same processor lead to lower frame generally

@@sodalangstson9438 Hopefully it's about the same. It only needs to push out the same amount of pixels and ideally the mobo handles power delivery to the screen.
