Struggling to decide between the Nintendo Switch and the Switch OLED? Here's our detailed breakdown of the main differences (and similarities) between the two.
Nintendo Switch vs Switch OLED: design
Looking at the measurements is where we find a difference. The Switch OLED measures 4 x 9.5 x 0.55 inches with Joy-Cons attached, whereas the base Switch measures 4 x 9.4 x 0.55 inches . The main difference in size is thanks to the screen: Nintendo made the display considerably larger which is a welcome feature that the older model was lacking. As for weight, the OLED model is 0.71 pounds , and the basic Switch is 0.66 pounds , so the OLED is a bit heftier weight-wise.
A final important difference that many gamers sought after in the Nintendo Switch is the OLED's improved kickstand. The original kickstand on the Nintendo Switch is notoriously flimsy without much option for adjustment as it could only sit at one viewing angle. The OLED kickstand is the same length as the console itself and is a lot sturdier. It can be angled however you want, and overall it's just a massive improvement over the original.
