Nintendo’s Switch successor might have a bigger screen than every other handheld device out there, according to one analyst.
Additionally, Hayase believes the Nintendo Switch successor will have an 8-inch LCD screen. This is interesting because, if true, it means Nintendo is going back to LCD screens for its next console, rather than staying with OLED screens, which the latest model of the Nintendo Switch employs.
It would also mean the Nintendo Switch successor would be the biggest handheld device out there. The Switch OLED model has a screen size of 7 inches, and this is matched by theASUSRog Ally. The original Nintendo Switch has a smaller screen size of 6.4 inches, while the Steam Deck OLED model boasts a 7.4-inch screen.
It’s important to keep in mind that this isn’t coming from a report citing sources close to Nintendo, but rather from an analyst. That’s not to put Omdia’s expertise under the microscope, but to rather temper expectations against taking this information as a guaranteed fact.
