Când Nintendo revealed the Switch 2 on April 2, there was a lot of excitement over the powered-up portable console. However, some gamers weren’t thrilled about its LCD screen. But, like the original, it appears there might be a Switch 2 with a better display in the works.

Samsung is the display maker for the Switch 2 and is reportedly pushing for a version of Nintendo’s new console to come with an OLED screen, according to a report from Bloomberg on Tuesday. No specifics were provided on whether this variant of the Switch 2 would come out or if Nintendo was committed to it. 

Nintendo and Samsung didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. 

The Switch 2 is only weeks away from launching on June 5. The new console has some significant upgrades over the original Switch, including the larger 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen, a custom Nvidia processor that outputs graphics better than a PS4 but less than a PS5 and 4K video with a max frame rate of 120fps.

There have been, however, some concerns over the Switch 2. The big one is its price. At $450, the Switch 2 would be Nintendo’s most expensive console. Coupled with that is the fact that the system will also have its first regularly priced $80 game with Mario Kart World. While the big price tag of the Switch 2 makes sense, considering its components, Nintendo has yet to provide an explanation of why it needs to sell a game for $80, which is $10 more than the typical price of new AAA games. 

Nintendo released its Switch OLED in 2021, four years after the console’s launch. It was $50 more expensive than the original, had a slightly bigger screen and made some other small design adjustments, such as a better kickstand. 

If Nintendo does release a Switch 2 with OLED sometime in the future, the cost of this new console could be more than just an additional $50. The same day the Switch 2 was announced, President Donald Trump released a list of tariffs for US trade partners. Nintendo’s home country, Japan, and the two countries that produce Nintendo’s products — China and Vietnam — were subject to large tariffs. This led Nintendo to delay preorders in the US.

Since then, Trump has instituted tariff freezes, and Switch 2 preorders were made available for US gamers. However, there is some uncertainty over whether the Switch 2 will stay at its $450 price or see an increase due to tariffs. Microsoft has already increased the price of its Xbox Series consoles, and it appears that Sony might do the same soon.
