New Nintendo Switch 2 leak 'confirms' huge fan requested upgrade over first console
Despite earlier reports suggesting the Nintendo Switch 2 would come with an LCD display, a new leak 'confirms' it'll have an OLED panel after all, and gives another look at the systemTech13:49, 10 Jan 2025More Switch 2 leaks are emerging(Image: @KirPinkFury/X)A new console is always reason to be excited, but the Nintendo' Switch 2 is one of the most anticipated new pieces of hardware in history.While we've seen rumours that it'll leverage NVIDIA's AI upscaling for 4K visuals and use new magnetic Joy-Con controllers, we've also heard it'll revert to an LCD display.That left some fans cold, given the clear step forward of the Switch OLED, but now a new report has suggested it could have an OLED screen after all.As seen in the video above from 91mobiles, Switch 2 is expected to have a much larger 8.4-inch screen but mostly keep a similar form factor to the original.91mobiles' and OnLeaks accompanying report says "According to OnLeaks, the new Switch 2 console will be a lot bigger than the current offerings, namely the Switch OLED and the standard Switch.""The new console is expected to feature a larger 8.4-inch panel. However, while it wasnt mentioned which panel would be used, it will most likely be an OLED panel."It's not conclusive, but it would feel surprising to have an LCD display on a console in 2025, especially as OLED has become democratised by cheaper mobile phones.OLED offers a brighter screen, better contrast levels, and deeper black levels. It also lends itself to better battery life, all of which sound like key considerations for a handheld console.Still, there's some mystery about an additional button. Some early renders showed a button below the Switch 2's Home button, while this report suggests it'll be above it. Whether it appears in either spot, we don't know what it'll do, either.For more on handheld consoles, be sure to check out why your next system should be a Steam Deck OLED.Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.RECOMMENDED
