Is the OLED model worth it over the standard Switch?

If you play handheld or tabletop often, the larger OLED screen, better stand and LAN dock are meaningful upgrades. If you mostly play docked on a TV, the standard Switch plays the same games with the same performance.

Does the OLED model run games faster?

No. It uses the same processor and graphics hardware as the standard Switch, so frame rates and load times are the same. The gains are the screen, stand, storage, speakers and dock.

The console with white Joy-Con, the OLED dock, a Joy-Con grip, two Joy-Con straps, an HDMI cable and the AC adapter. A LAN cable for the dock's wired port is sold separately.

Can I use my old Switch games and accessories?

Yes. It plays the same game cards and downloads, and existing Joy-Con, Pro Controllers and most accessories work with it.

How much storage does it have?

It has 64GB of internal storage, double the standard model. That fills quickly with large games, so a microSD card is a sensible addition.

Does it output 4K to a TV?

No. Docked output tops out at 1080p, the same as other Switch models.

Our take on the Nintendo Switch - OLED Model Console/64 GB Internal Storage with White Joy-Con

The Switch OLED is Nintendo's mid-generation upgrade to the standard Switch. It adds a 7-inch OLED screen with deeper blacks and sharper contrast, a wider adjustable stand, a dock with a wired LAN port, 64GB of internal storage and improved handheld and tabletop speakers. It plays the same library as every Switch, so the choice comes down to whether the better screen and stand matter to you. It suits handheld and tabletop players most; people who mostly play docked on a TV get little over the standard model.
