I also have a V1 switch and want to upgrade at some point I love playing in handheld mode but the battery life is awful! Only two hours if that I basically have to play it charged. The oled is a little too pricey right now though
One great thing about OLED screens is that the response time is really good. What that means is how quick the pixels can change from one color to the next. So when you’re scrolling through the menus and stuff, you’ll see on the LCD that the scrolling isn’t very smooth, it might have a slight blur effect. Usually isn’t noticeable during games I think, but worth pointing out. It looks really nice
Yeah, like what do I get? Oled screen? Slightly bigger screen? I don't care about that because I mainly play it docked and if I mainly played it undocked I could just get a switch lite, I don't see much point in buying it
@@PedroPerny Same here. I went from a Switch Lite to the regular Switch so I could play docked, and that upgrade was worthwhile, but idk just not feeling the need for this one!
Especially when the only ones you can find right now are being sold by scalpers for over 500.00. Definitely not worth it. I'd rather save my money to get the Steam Deck. My Animal Crossing Switch is just fine.
Exactly, these mid-gen upgrades are great for latecomers but unless my console breaks, I can't justify buying a brand new system for just faster load times/visuals/whatever the Xbox Elite did over the OG. It was nice actually seeing the difference in the screens though. I usually can't tell a difference unless they're side by side or something egregious like 480p.
@@PedroPerny then just don't get it?? I mean it's obvious already, Austin already mentioned it too.... this OLED was targeted for newer people and people who enjoy a bigger screen for portable gaming, if it wasn't that clear already lol
I just want to say how much I appreciate your descriptions and exclamations of satisfaction when something snaps shut well, locks into place or clicks. I do agree! Your descriptions are very informative and tactile. It is greatly appreciated how your unboxings cover so much of the detail the designers put into their products!
"No one had it before today. no one." as Austin looks to the right, there was a recommended video from Kevin Kenson unboxing the new switch a few days ago.
I'm so glad you mentioned the blue-green tint, mate. It was stressing me a little that I might have had a dodgy screen. But between you and Amok4All (whose test showed a lower red than green and blue values), it's reassured me that it's just a generally cooler-coloured display. I really appreciate your attention-to-detail and forthright observations.
Yeah the temperature and the tint are different. Less magenta more green.. less red more blue. Took me a little getting use to also. Same with the vivid or standard mode
It ships stock in VIVID mode, so that’s why. You gotta change it back in the settings. Def a market move to show the new “bright and beautiful OLED display” to show dumb customers on the shop floor how much brighter and bigger it is than the regular switch.
When Austin's comparing the cold & warm feels of the screens, what he's recognizing is the amount of bluelight the screens are emitting. It isn't just the sharper, more refined differences in the tech of the screens. The OLED has a much better passive bluelight filter than the V1 or V2 Switches do. Basically, you can stare at the OLED's screen for more time with less damage to your eyes than you can with a V1 or V2 Switch.
I have a V2 switch and just got this new one. The screen alone is enough for me to upgrade. I play handheld and playing the new pokemon games on it is gonna be great.
My white OLED is arriving today! I also had an original V1 red/blue Switch from 2016. I play exclusively handheld, so the improved screen, battery, and much better stand are amazing! My original switch has a problem with bad RAM, so it crashes on every game randomly. So, I definitely needed this upgrade
Not sure if you were able to get your hands on one, I managed to get my hands on an OLED switch because my v1 was dying and oh my god it’s a huge upgrade.
@@abdullahnadeem1823 Nvidia couldn’t commit to producing enough of the new tegra soc’s, that is why all we got was a new display, and a extra Ethernet port on the USB-C “hub”. Pretty sure even the V1 switches could support that.
I’m finally able to buy my OLED on my next payday. I’m so excited! The weak feeling joycons on the side reli bothers me. I’m glad they made it feel more quality like.
OLED switch is a huge upgrade if you handle the device and use it portably. The device also feels much more rugged and sturdy. feels heavier but much more premium.
Definitely the best unboxing OLED switch video I've ever seen also the only one. I actually may buy an OLED eventually when it's more in stock places the color on it looks really nice.
My Oled arrived today, I bought the Blue/Red Oled. You can definitely tell the difference in the weight of the systems that's for sure. It also feels more solid that my 2017 Switch.
Sold my V1 for $200 and got the OLED on the same day. I brought my OLED to work and my friends at work who has the V1 and V2 are searching for the OLED after watching me play mines. But all in all, OLED tech in general changed the game for me. I even went and bought a LG CX OLED tv because the OLED tech is very very impressive.
i pick oled tech too even though i still use my og stuff sometimes. also i have an amoled laptop and an oled 65 inch from sony. beyond the black levels the quicker response times and colors its just a higher quality technology. its also more durable. tbh it doesnt make a huge difference on every single game because the motion blur is better MOST of the time but even on my old plasma tv i still have i see motion blur sometimes on games.. just not as bad as on lcd/led screens. in 99 out of 100 cases i would take oled over any other tech out there.
A note. In the settings vivid mode was turned on by default. I dont have any other switch to compare it to but if that isn't enabled or even an option on the older ones that could account for some of the color differences
Bought one today. Initially I was very skeptical at first but a couple of hours in a have to say the difference is big, way big. Absolutely worth an upgrade even if you already own the original switch
The thing with the OG and V2 switch is that they used different screen manufacturers and those had lots of variations with color tint and warmth. I got like 3 green tinted switches last year when I was trying to buy a second one, before the 4th one was finally normal looking, just a little warm. The screen just looked really bad. On my OLED, it almost looks like that green, but not in the same way. It’s weird though. But I’ve noticed the OLED screen on my phone is also slightly green compared to my other LCD screens (iPad, MacBook). So I went into the color filter settings and changed my phone to match them better, because it bothered me how much different it looked. The OLED switch doesn’t really have an options like that, just the vivid color mode (which is really nice by the way, I would actually like it if it was even more saturated or have an option for that but I think it’s well balanced for most uses, so it’s fine). If I can, I’ll see if I can get another switch OLED to compare, maybe they all have a slight green tint Little side note, my OG launch switch had a very cool color temperature, white was almost blue when comparing it to other screens. It looked fine in the daytime, since it matches the color temperature, but at night it was kind of bad. My second switch, the smash bros edition, had a warmer screen, but it was more natural white than cool white, which I preferred. It worked good for night time. Sold the OG to my cousin, and that 3rd switch I was talking about that I got last year is just a little warmer, but also very little bit greener, but not bad. I wasn’t going to go through trying to buy another switch, it was when the scalping was really bad, like in April-July. Then I got a switch lite, which I got 2 of before the 3rd one was good. Same green tint for the first two (I feel bad for whoever ended up getting those switches, the colors are just gross), and the third was very slightly green, but more on the cooler cold temperature side. The green was very noticeable in a lot of places, yellows looked yellow-green, like blathers’ beak in the profile picture selection menu. In Breath of the Wild, the stone on the broken buildings looks almost green, like they were mossy, but they weren’t, instead of the normal stone-like color. Brown barrels barely looked brown, the trees are a little mossy normally, but they looked just way too green. Link’s clothes also looked a little green. It was so bad
I got one immediately without any problems in terms of shipping. And im super happy I upgraded my switch to the OLED, it’s freaking beautifull. And eventhough I wouldve liked a hardware update for docked, but since I pretty much play docked and handheld 50/50 it was still worth it for me
I remember when I wanted to get a Switch last year, the rumours of a 'Switch pro' were out there and I oo'd and aa'd. I'm glad I didn't wait for the OLED Switch. I do usually use it in Handheld but I don't think I wanna spend like 550 AUD to get a slightly crisper screen. Thanks for your review :)
It took me 5 years to buy a switch because I was a firm Homebrew new 3ds xl user....and boy am i glad I did, the graphics had a major jump and that OLED screen, my lord I play mostly in handheld mode and sometimes in docked mode. Was it worth it? Defininetly, Breath of the wild is the best game I've ever played.
Just got mine yesterday from a local game store. One problem I realized about buying new tech early is that accessories for it are not yet available. So I'll have to baby my Switch OLED while I wait for screen protectors, grips, and cases for it to come out. LOL
I’ve been trying to look for a clear skin film type of protector. On Amazon I found one for the switch lite, but not even the regular switch. I would prefer that over a full on case, which would be way thicker
I got it today for my birthday and I love it, I immediately saw the more vibrant color, the sturdiness, the stand, and the screen size. I couldn’t really tell a slightly “worse resolution” due to the screen being bigger with the same pixels, so meh. I do primarily play handheld/tabletop, so it was worth it for me 😊
One thing to note with OLED limitations you do not want your screen at max brightness. every pixle is an independent LED light and from the start they slowly fade. The brighter the faster that happens. Now that time will take a long time but something to consider with OLED technology.
I think the extreme color difference in the V2 vs OLED switch is actually just because you're in Vivid mode instead of Standard. OLED Samsung phones also do this, and frankly I think Vivid is way too oversaturated. Try switching to Standard for a better comparison.
Very early childhood memory unlocked: that dang song about grills 🤣🤣🤣 Call the jewelry store tell em make me a grill or something like that idk that's hilarious I'm actually surprised how much better Pokemon, at least, looks on the OLED model. I wasn't sure about trying to get one since it doesn't have 1080p or anything else higher and a few other reasons but since I am a handheld player on my v1 Switch, that does really look like a huge difference
really appreciate the amount of info and effort you always put into your videos. from your descriptions, although i do primarily use my v2 handheld, i probably won't be looking to get an oled unless/until theres a limited version for a game im into. thanks Austin, v helpful video
What I did with my satisfye grip, I unscrewed both sides took out three of the rubber pieces (that are on the ends of grip) and only left one and it fits perfectly!! It grips a little bit, but it will not fall out.
This was a pretty good unboxing video in my opinion. Still a bit long at parts but you get straight to the point and it helps families decide whether to get their kid a Switch or a Switch OLED for Christmas or something. Very informative video.
Cooler Colour tint could be different due to vivid mode in system settings. Also if you turn auto brightness off the screen gets brighter. Just saw a video from Nintendo life.
When it was first revealed I didn’t think the bigger screen was a big deal, but then I got one and I have been playing it for a while and when I went back to my old switch it was incredibly jarring
From what I could see the difference in the whites he was talking about was seen by the camera also recent news there are 4K screens the size of quarters they are micro Oleds.
I was really hoping we would get a Legends Arceus OLED Switch since it seems like it would be worth the price but since we arent I'll just wait for another limited edition switch to come out before I buy this
I don’t think Nintendo plans for this to be a long lasting SKU. It seems rather appearent they wanted the switch pro this year. I suspect they’ll announce the next switch sometime next year for a spring 2023 launch
What are the advantages for those who have the V1 but mostly only use it in docked-mode? I didn't really understand how this is a significant upgrade despite it looking nicer maybe :/
@nena the cat they said they use handheld enough that it seems worth it, and I agree. You have to see it in person to understand how much bigger the screen really is
After having a V1 model since 2017 I just got the new OLED model yesterday, after being able to find one for sale, the OLED is such a better upgrade, if anyone has a V1 model still and is tempted on getting the OLED I would highly recommended!
Can you bring your game play data from the old switch to the oled switch? So you don't have to start over on games? I do have an SD card in my old switch V1 and haven't tried downloading my game play before.
I have a version 1 switch and play pretty much always docked, I dont think I'm going to get this for a while, unless my switch gets damaged or starts to not work properly. I just don't personally see the advantage for me, just my opinion though
Question: Do you/anyone else knows whether they fixed the Joy-con drift issues for the ones that come with this OLED Switch? Or is that still a thing for all Joy-cons? Here in Europe, sadly there is no service where you can get that issue repaired for free, and having it repaired costs about as much as outright buying new Joy-cons entirely.
Oled is a Samsung display Samsung and Nintendo teamed up to give us this oled display great review by the way. Just ordered my own oled switch today can't wait to get it 😁
Its why I can't play handheld anymore. The drift is so bad I literally can't play any games unless it's docked. I can't afford new joycons either. Even then there's no point because they'll drift too.
I really surprised that the folios never took off. Nice simple case, screen protector, and 3-setting stand. I have an official Nintendo one for me v1 Switch that works like a dream. Sure it was $20 but the stable stand and screen protector made it invaluable to playing with my system.
The OLED screens can control each individual pixel and for black, it turns it off completely based on the hex values input into the display controller :P
That hasn't been an issue for damn near a decade now. OLEDS refresh after set periods of time to prevent burn in, it's been an industry standard for a while.
I’m a V1 owner, so I’ve been considering the upgrade for a while now. It might not be any time too soon, but I think I’m going to get an OLED model in the future, and this video definitely helped with the decision.
Basically I’m gonna explain this whole thing with Switch v1 vs Oled with Apple’s new phone! The iPhone 13 has slightly smaller bezels, a smaller notch, and a better screen, along with a slightly longer battery. Other than that, it’s the exact same as the iPhone 12. I’d you don’t have an iPhone, go for the 13. If you have the 12, it’s not really justified to spend a bunch of money for a glossy redesign even though the one you have does the exact same things as the new one. And now, replace iPhone 12 with the switch v1, and iPhone 13 with the OLED switch. If you don’t have a switch already, get the OLED. If you do, it’s not really justified to spend 300$ for a glossy redesign because the one you probably already have can do essentially the same things as the OLED. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
I also got my Nintendo Switch OLED white version. I know by now, its sold out in Walmart and GameStop. However, I decided not to to play on my OLED until BDSP is out, I want to play new games on my new Nintendo Switch console
Truly once you see one in real life your gonna wanna switch to Oled trust me. These RUclipsrs for some weird reason won’t say this but I know they would do the exact same thing. It’s a perfect upgrade of feels more modern the th V.2
I always play on handheld, have a V1 switch, but I don't know if the $350 would be worth that. I'm most likely just gonna wait until my switch completely dies or until a "Switch Pro" releases.
The rails on the v1 feel a lot cheaper! I completely understand that! The color difference is just unexplainable if you aren’t in front of it!!! I got mine today!!!
I kinda wish they could've kept the size the exact same. The only carry case I like for my normal Switch is the vault case that Amazon sells, and it fits the Switch pretty snug. Won't be able to use it with the OLED Switch unless they refresh that case too.
Best, honest comparison so far! Thanks Austin! So good I’m not even going to give you stick about the fact you don’t appear to have a case on your phone…😵

Ok man geez, there is no existence of oled unboxings pre-austin's unboxing. Oh wow that's what it looks like for the first time! Oh wowser's!
This was a pretty good unboxing video in my opinion. Still a bit long at parts but you get straight to the point and it helps families decide whether to get their kid a Switch or a Switch OLED for Christmas or something. Very informative video.
Thanks for a reason for me to put this top of my Christmas list (I have a V1 switch)
Cooler Colour tint could be different due to vivid mode in system settings. Also if you turn auto brightness off the screen gets brighter. Just saw a video from Nintendo life.
I play almost exclusively in docked mode, so I don't see any reason to upgrade from my v1.
But damn it do be looking good tho!
When it was first revealed I didn’t think the bigger screen was a big deal, but then I got one and I have been playing it for a while and when I went back to my old switch it was incredibly jarring
From what I could see the difference in the whites he was talking about was seen by the camera also recent news there are 4K screens the size of quarters they are micro Oleds.
"A southern rapper from 2006" lmao. Automatically subscribing for that.
I was really hoping we would get a Legends Arceus OLED Switch since it seems like it would be worth the price but since we arent I'll just wait for another limited edition switch to come out before I buy this
I don’t think Nintendo plans for this to be a long lasting SKU. It seems rather appearent they wanted the switch pro this year. I suspect they’ll announce the next switch sometime next year for a spring 2023 launch
What are the advantages for those who have the V1 but mostly only use it in docked-mode? I didn't really understand how this is a significant upgrade despite it looking nicer maybe :/
I'm excited to see how different it really is or isnt
I'm considering the OLED later down the line. I have a launch day Switch, and could really use an improved battery.
First oled Nintendo switch unboxing I've seen yet👍
Hey Austin when do you think Nintendo will have a Switch update that will be really big?
I still love the bit about soutbern 2000s rappeez and grills 😅😭 priceless
The Switch Snap is like the signature of the console, and they have made sure all those moving parts have it.
"Still new in here so its very tight, very tight hinge." That made me laugh thinking of how people could hear that over someone elses shoulder
I'm thinking I might actually upgrade after seeing this, I use handheld enough it seems worth it especially if I sell my old one
Personally, I would say its not worth it, but its your money.
@nena the cat if you value the display improvement and are primarily handheld then yeah $50 to go from lcd to OLED is worth it
@nena the cat they said they use handheld enough that it seems worth it, and I agree. You have to see it in person to understand how much bigger the screen really is
@@yaboilettuce7394 it’ll be more than $50 to change, he has to sell his old one.
@@sdcardcollector7336 $50 is the opportunity cost of choosing OLED over the v2. Sure he will likely be out of pocket for more
first and only unboxing I've seen for OLED Switch
Oo oo oo... Giving me "NSW 3DSXXXL Vibes" with that whole putting your V2 MR&BE Switch atop of your, V3 OLED Switch!
Found mine today at a Target at 8 in the morning, don't give up, you still might find one in the wild.
After having a V1 model since 2017 I just got the new OLED model yesterday, after being able to find one for sale, the OLED is such a better upgrade, if anyone has a V1 model still and is tempted on getting the OLED I would highly recommended!
What I really like about the OLED model is the dock, the og model dock is flimsy enough to be worth getting rid of for the OLED to me.
Austin John plays: * has every switch I existence*
Me: *chilling with the switch lite*
I had a V1 switch and i was primarly a handheld player so i bought the OLED since i wanted an upgrade. And i can say they difference is night and day.
Can you bring your game play data from the old switch to the oled switch? So you don't have to start over on games? I do have an SD card in my old switch V1 and haven't tried downloading my game play before.
I have a version 1 switch and play pretty much always docked, I dont think I'm going to get this for a while, unless my switch gets damaged or starts to not work properly. I just don't personally see the advantage for me, just my opinion though
Austin 2021-"if your a southern rapper from 2006 your gonna be very interested in the grills"
Hi last time I saw one of your videos was 2 years ago nice to see you again
Some people were able to pick up the OLED early, so I actually have seen an unboxing of it but I still watched this one
Question: Do you/anyone else knows whether they fixed the Joy-con drift issues for the ones that come with this OLED Switch? Or is that still a thing for all Joy-cons?
Here in Europe, sadly there is no service where you can get that issue repaired for free, and having it repaired costs about as much as outright buying new Joy-cons entirely.
Oled is a Samsung display Samsung and Nintendo teamed up to give us this oled display great review by the way. Just ordered my own oled switch today can't wait to get it 😁
The way he said Zacian “Z-eye-see-in.” 😂😂😂
I totally picked up on the two whites when u were showing the differences between screen contrast
I got to say, I haven't ben on the channel in a while and you look very healthy! Looking good and happy with the positive changes!
I like what I'm seeing, but I'll wait and see if they ever improve the Joycons.
Yeah same
Its why I can't play handheld anymore. The drift is so bad I literally can't play any games unless it's docked. I can't afford new joycons either.
Even then there's no point because they'll drift too.
Man I can’t believe this is the first I’ve seen a OLED box opening. The first video on RUclips of this as well how lucky are we.
I really surprised that the folios never took off. Nice simple case, screen protector, and 3-setting stand. I have an official Nintendo one for me v1 Switch that works like a dream. Sure it was $20 but the stable stand and screen protector made it invaluable to playing with my system.
The OLED screens can control each individual pixel and for black, it turns it off completely based on the hex values input into the display controller :P
I eagerly await the “OLED Burn In” follow up video in a few months 🤣.
That hasn't been an issue for damn near a decade now. OLEDS refresh after set periods of time to prevent burn in, it's been an industry standard for a while.
@@MathiVelan I turn you to Linus Tech Tips recent video on how his new monitor got burn in within a few months of daily use
I’m a V1 owner, so I’ve been considering the upgrade for a while now. It might not be any time too soon, but I think I’m going to get an OLED model in the future, and this video definitely helped with the decision.
Basically I’m gonna explain this whole thing with Switch v1 vs Oled with Apple’s new phone!
The iPhone 13 has slightly smaller bezels, a smaller notch, and a better screen, along with a slightly longer battery. Other than that, it’s the exact same as the iPhone 12.
I’d you don’t have an iPhone, go for the 13. If you have the 12, it’s not really justified to spend a bunch of money for a glossy redesign even though the one you have does the exact same things as the new one.
And now, replace iPhone 12 with the switch v1, and iPhone 13 with the OLED switch.
If you don’t have a switch already, get the OLED. If you do, it’s not really justified to spend 300$ for a glossy redesign because the one you probably already have can do essentially the same things as the OLED.
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
I also got my Nintendo Switch OLED white version. I know by now, its sold out in Walmart and GameStop. However, I decided not to to play on my OLED until BDSP is out, I want to play new games on my new Nintendo Switch console
Truly once you see one in real life your gonna wanna switch to Oled trust me. These RUclipsrs for some weird reason won’t say this but I know they would do the exact same thing. It’s a perfect upgrade of feels more modern the th V.2
That new white dock would look great next to my PS5.... if I had one
I have a v.8 switch. Like the original pre order (it got a few hardware updated a few weeks after launch) so 100% ordering this
I always play on handheld, have a V1 switch, but I don't know if the $350 would be worth that. I'm most likely just gonna wait until my switch completely dies or until a "Switch Pro" releases.
Seeing your content unboxings, anything Zelda and your knowledge of these systems is awesome!!!!
The rails on the v1 feel a lot cheaper! I completely understand that! The color difference is just unexplainable if you aren’t in front of it!!! I got mine today!!!
"New England clam router" is the best thing I've ever heard
Him: No One!
Me who saw Nintendo open it on their channel 2 weeks ago: Mmm I’d much rather see Austin unbox it then the Nintendo People.
Bruh i was about to comment about that but i saw your comment
I saw BeatEmUps open it last week I believe
@Justine Rosé ________💋🔻 report its a bot
I kinda wish they could've kept the size the exact same. The only carry case I like for my normal Switch is the vault case that Amazon sells, and it fits the Switch pretty snug. Won't be able to use it with the OLED Switch unless they refresh that case too.
Love your setup in background
Best, honest comparison so far! Thanks Austin!
So good I’m not even going to give you stick about the fact you don’t appear to have a case on your phone…😵
Austin: New England Clam Router, that's my wifi
Me: Is that the red or the white?
That grills joke deserves more credit
Just ordered the OLED in white! Can’t wait!
