We're getting closer to 2024, and Nintendo Switch 2 leaks are only getting started, like the most recent report from Chosun Biz.
According to the latest revelation of the leaker, the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 could potentially boast an OLED display. The report unveils Nintendo's purported contact with Samsung to acquire OLED panels, raising questions about the display technology for the upcoming console.
Nintendo Switch 2 Will Get an OLED Upgrade
Nintendo Switch 2 might not be out in the market yet early leaks suggest that the upcoming console will get an OLED option, the same treatment we saw from the standard model.
Contrary to rumors hinting at an LCD panel from Japanese display maker Sharp, Nintendo's reported engagement with Samsung introduces the possibility of dual models for the Switch 2. This speculated scenario includes a standard version with an LCD display and a premium variant featuring more advanced OLED technology, mirroring the current lineup of the Nintendo Switch.
While the OLED display rumor is captivating, it's crucial to approach such information with a degree of skepticism. The report indicates Nintendo's approach to Samsung for OLED panels for "various IT devices," leaving room for speculation regarding the exact application.
Until Nintendo officially addresses these reports, the details about the Switch 2's display technology remain in the realm of unverified rumors.
Adding to the speculation, an industry insider named Ravengus suggests an earlier-than-expected launch for the Nintendo Switch 2, hinting at a release in the early months of the upcoming year.
It looks like the Nintendo Switch 2 will be coming out early next year. There will be a lot worth buying in the coming year.

This contradicts prevalent reports projecting a launch in the second half of 2024. The accelerated timeline raises anticipation but also invites skepticism, given the lack of official announcements from Nintendo.
As the current Nintendo Switch approaches its seventh year, discussions around the lifecycle and potential successor intensify. While industry murmurs suggest varying timelines, the absence of an official reveal from Nintendo leaves fans eagerly awaiting insights into the console's evolution.
