Nintendo is reportedly considering launching an OLED version of the Switch 2

Last month, reports suggested that Nintendo could release a Switch 2 model with an upgraded LCD panel to address the ghosting issues some players have reported. And now, a new report indicates that Nintendo is also considering an OLED version of the Switch 2.

According to ZDNet Korea reporter Lee Ki-jong, Nintendo is reviewing plans for a Switch 2 OLED model. One insider told ZDNet that the company is considering a Switch 2 OLED model with Full HD (1920×1080) resolution, a big upgrade compared to the 1280×720 resolution of the original Switch OLED. 

The source added that if Nintendo decides to proceed with the OLED model, product development could begin at the end of this year. If that happens, mass production could start as early as late 2027 or early 2028. 

Another industry insider told ZDNet that Samsung Display is expected to work toward supplying OLED panels for the Switch 2. However, the price difference between the OLED panel and the LCD panel is reportedly one of the factors preventing Nintendo from finalizing plans for the OLED model. The company has to pay close attention to manufacturing costs due to the ongoig memory crisis, which has already affected the Switch 2. 

For now, Nintendo has not officially announced a Switch 2 OLED model. The report only indicates that the company is considering the possibility, and the project may still depend on factors such as development timing, production costs, and market demand.
