Multiple outlets report that Nintendo is exploring a future revision of the Switch 2 that would replace its current LCD screen with an OLED display. The claims cite ZDNet Korea, which frames the discussion as potentially serious but not confirmed, and notes that an OLED upgrade could involve an approximately 1080p OLED panel sourced from Samsung Display.
Coverage also highlights that Nintendo’s interest may be constrained by cost and consumer pricing. Sources point to industry memory and component cost pressures and Nintendo’s announced plan to raise the price of the current Switch 2 LCD model, creating uncertainty about how much more an OLED edition could cost and whether buyers would accept a higher price.
While the timing remains unclear, one report suggests an OLED version could be years away, with 2028 cited as the earliest possibility. In parallel, Nintendo is preparing a different Switch 2 revision for the European Union that includes a replaceable battery to meet consumer regulations, and this EU plan is also associated with discontinuing the original Switch model there. No outlet provides official confirmation of the OLED plan.
