As the Nintendo Switch 2 prepares for its release next month, it will come equipped with an LCD screen, similar to the initial model. Although this new system boasts several upgrades compared to the original, some enthusiasts have expressed disappointment that the Switch 2 doesn’t offer an OLED screen at launch. However, there’s a possibility that this could change in the future. Samsung, reportedly supplying the primary components for the Switch 2 (according to Bloomberg via Nintendo Life), is said to be advocating for OLED panels to be incorporated when the Switch 2 undergoes an update in the future.
In 2017, the first Nintendo Switch was introduced, followed by a model featuring an OLED screen in 2021. If we follow the pattern set previously, it’s possible that a future Nintendo Switch 2 might incorporate this screen upgrade. However, it’s important to remember that this speculation is based on one report from Bloomberg. The coming years may bring unexpected developments, and there could be several reasons why Nintendo opted for an LCD screen in the next iteration of the Switch.
At a press conference in April, Nintendo representative Tetsuya Sasaki revealed that careful thought was given before opting for an LCD screen instead of OLED. The new LCD model boasts enhancements that were not achievable with the original Switch or even the OLED version. Specifically, the upcoming Switch 2’s screen supports High Dynamic Range (HDR), a feature missing from the Switch OLED. Additionally, it is suggested that choosing LCD helped Nintendo maintain an affordable price point at launch, potentially reducing buyer’s initial surprise upon seeing the cost.
If Nintendo indeed launches an OLED upgrade in the future, it would be advantageous as it caters to consumers willing to pay more without burdening everyone else. This approach seems wiser than increasing prices for all. Additionally, producing just one model at launch simplifies production, especially when anticipating high demand. The Bloomberg report indicates that Samsung may boost OLED production if necessary, potentially surpassing the projected 20 million units by March 2026.
Currently, readers should approach this information cautiously, recognizing that just because Samsung is working towards this in the future, it doesn’t automatically mean Nintendo shares the same viewpoint. While the Switch 2’s LCD screen has shown significant enhancements, such as HDR and a larger size, it may not prompt many fans to seek an OLED upgrade, given their satisfaction with the existing screen. In my recent experience with the device, I was generally impressed with its display, even as an owner of the current Switch OLED model. This sentiment seems to be shared by other reviewers as well.
