Bloomberg reports that a new Nintendo Switch model will have a 7-inch Samsung OLED 720p display with plans to unveil later this year. Displays in mass production starting June with initial monthly target of just under 1 million units

The new Switch model will have 4K resolution when docked for TV mode. OLED will consume less battery life, offer higher contrast, and possibly faster response when compared to the current Switch display Switch and Switch Lite displays are 6.2" and 5.5" in comparison

Will drunken purchase this.

Perfect. I can give the OG switch to the kids and keep the 4K version. Their little eyes will never appreciate the improvement.

Guess I’ll wait a little longer for this.
Or maybe pick up a used one for a little cheaper

I've been wanting to buy one. I will most likely play it on the tv screen so this is good.

As long as BOTW2 is released on switch I don't care about a new switch model. The model is an accessory I don't need.

I play my current switch on my family room TV screen with no problems.

If they release just a dock that has a better resolution I might get that, but I'm not going to get a whole new console.

That's left fans to wonder if two of the company’s most hotly anticipated new releases will fill the blank spaces on the calendar. A 4K Nintendo Switch, which some fans and observers have colloquially named the Nintendo Switch Pro, has reportedly been in the works for years. Meanwhile, the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been largely MIA since it was first unveiled at E3 2019.
Demand for an enhanced Switch stems from the console being left in the dust by the top-spec visuals of rival consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X. Nintendo has built a reputation for marching to the beat of its own drummer with unconventional offerings like the Wii and Nintendo Labo, and has a history of prioritizing accessible and family-friendly innovations over raw processing power. That's partly why the Switch Pro rumors are so intriguing — the prospect seems like a deviation from Nintendo's usual playbook.
Some observers assume Nintendo could be holding the Breath of the Wild sequel to launch alongside an upgraded Switch. But the regular Nintendo Switch continues to sell exceptionally well, nearing 80 million units sold. On March 3, the Switch’s fourth anniversary, Bloomberg reported Nintendo plans to announce an upgraded Switch model that supports 4K and has a Samsung OLED touchscreen later this year.
A previous report from Bloomberg suggested some highly anticipated Nintendo games could also be released around the upgraded system’s launch, bringing Breath of the Wild 2 back into question. Inverse spoke with two video game industry analysts to determine how likely Nintendo is to debut an upgraded Switch in 2021 and if Breath of the Wild’s sequel will launch alongside it.

I can see first timers going for it.

This.
I wonder what this means for the life of the switch system in general. Hopefully goes for at least a few more years now.

Even if a Switch 2 or Switch Pro is on its way, the chances are it'll work with your existing Switch game library. Nintendo has a history of supporting its handhelds through multiple iterations, with the Nintendo DS/Nintendo 3DS family supporting the same game library for more than a decade. Given how popular the Switch is, we expect Nintendo to take a similar approach to its current console.

Any research says it costs the same as the switch does now. no thanks.

Will this drop the price of the first edition switch?
