Yesterday, Nintendo announced a new Switch, the OLED model<\/a>. There\u2019s a problem though: this isn\u2019t the Pro version of the console that many people were after<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This puts lots of us in the strange situation of being unsure whether to be excited or not. Is the OLED model worth it? Just how different is it to the original Nintendo Switch?<\/p>\n

Luckily for you, we\u2019re here to solve those questions\u2026 with math. And graphs. Math and graphs. Graphs and math. HERE WE GO.<\/p>\n

Specs battle: Nintendo Switch vs. OLED model<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s get the most obvious improvement out the way first: the screen. Let\u2019s have a look at the different sizes:<\/p>\n

Nothing too odd here. The Nintendo Switch has a 6.2-inch LCD<\/strong>, while the OLED model has a 7-inch, uh, OLED screen<\/strong>. This is a 12.9% increase<\/strong> in the diagonal screen size between the two models.<\/p>\n

But what about the screen area? Well, the OG Nintendo with the 6.2-inch has a display area of 1<\/strong>06<\/span>cm\u00b2<\/strong>. The 7-inch OLED screen clocks in at 136cm\u00b2<\/strong>. That then, is a 27.3% increase <\/strong>in the display area between the two models. Which is quite a lot tbh.<\/p>\n

The resolution<\/a> of both displays on the console has stayed the same though: 1280 x 720. Or 720p. This means that while the OLED model will have better contrast, higher brightness, and a wider color range, it won\u2019t<\/em> have more detail than the original Switch.<\/p>\n

Which is a crying shame.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s look at something else in the Nintendo Switch vs. OLED model fight. Specifically, weight:<\/em><\/p>\n

As you can see, the OLED model is 23 grams heavier<\/strong> than the original Nintendo Switch. That\u2019s roughly the same weight as an AA battery, or a 7.7% weight increase<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s where we bump into something strange.<\/p>\n

Both the original Switch and OLED model have the same CPU\/GPU (a NVIDIA customised Tegra processor) and<\/em> the same capacity battery (4,310mAh<\/strong>). This suggests that most of that extra weight is down to the screen.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re doing a Nintendo Switch vs. OLED model battle, we can also approximate the volumes of each device. The regular Switch clocks in at 338cm\u00b3<\/strong>, while the OLED model has a volume of 343cm\u00b3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a 1.3% increase in volume<\/strong> between the models. Not a huge amount, but enough that some of Nintendo\u2019s LABO hardware<\/a> may not fit as snugly as users like.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s finish this comparison of the Nintendo Switch and OLED model with a final graph. This one is looking at the system memory of both models:<\/p>\n

Woo! Look at that! An honest-to-god improvement! A 100% increase<\/strong> from the original Switch to the OLED model!<\/p>\n

Even though, I\u2019d say the average size of a AAA game is around 10GB \u2014 meaning you can only get around 6 of them on the new OLED model. Still, that\u2019s better than a kick in the teeth.<\/p>\n
