Nintendo’s next-gen console gets Samsung’s larger OLED screen with ancient 720p resolution

Rumors about the Nintendo Switch Pro have been surfing the web for several years, but even after the launch of the Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5, sales of the Nintendo Switch and games for it remain very high, so the company is in no hurry, preferring to squeeze the maximum out of those already presented. in the product market.

Switching to an OLED display will provide lower power consumption, improved contrast and other advantages over the original Nintendo Switch’s LCD. Unfortunately, rumors indicate that the new 7-inch OLED screen will retain its 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, which will affect image quality due to the reduced pixel density. The Nintendo Switch has a 6.2-inch screen with the same resolution.

The aforementioned 4K resolution the new game console will support when connected to an appropriate TV or projector. No less important than the display will be the processing power of the Nintendo Switch Pro, about which nothing is known yet.

The presentation of new items under the presumable name Nintendo Switch Pro is expected in the second half of this year.
