- Which is better for handheld play?
- The OLED wins on screen quality: its OLED panel has deeper blacks and richer color than the Switch 2's LCD. The Switch 2 wins on size and resolution at 7.9 inches and 1080p. If you play mostly handheld and care about picture quality, the OLED is the better pick.
- Is the Switch 2 worth the extra $235?
- Yes if you want new Switch 2 exclusives, 256 GB of storage and 1080p 60 FPS output. No if you mostly play existing Switch 1 games in handheld mode, where the OLED covers you for less.
- Which has better battery life?
- The OLED. Reviewers note the Switch 2 has shorter battery life than the original Switch, and the OLED is rated for roughly 4.5 to 9 hours depending on the game.
- Can the Switch 2 play my old Switch games and accessories?
- Yes. The Switch 2 is backward compatible with Switch 1 games and pairs with Switch 1 Joy-Cons and accessories. The OLED plays the same Switch 1 library natively.
- Which has more storage?
- The Switch 2, with 256 GB built in versus 64 GB on the OLED. Both accept expandable memory cards.
- Do both connect to a TV?
- Yes. Both come with a dock and output to a TV. The Switch 2 adds 4K capability when docked, and the OLED dock has a wired LAN port the Switch 2 dock lacks.
