- The Switch 2 OLED is rumored to feature an upgraded resolution from 1280x720 to Full HD 1920x1080, aligning with the Switch 2's native handheld resolution.
- Nintendo may begin product development for the Switch 2 OLED by the end of this year if the plans proceed, with development preceding actual production.
