- The OLED version of the Switch 2 may enter mass production by late 2027 or early 2028, according to multiple industry sources cited by ZDNet Korea.
- Price concerns remain a significant factor, as OLED panels are more expensive than LCDs, and the final cost impact on the Switch 2 is still uncertain.
- Samsung Display is expected to supply the OLED panels for the Switch 2 if the upgrade proceeds, but Nintendo has not confirmed the release of an OLED model yet.
- Nintendo has recently increased the Switch 2's price by $50 in North America, with similar hikes already in effect in Japan and planned for Western markets in 2026, reflecting broader industry trends.
