00:00:00,170 --> 00:00:01,570
- [Anthony] Nintendo Switch.

2
00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:07,030
Oh man, I've been waiting for this for a long time.

3
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:12,030
I had, one of these guys, a regular Nintendo Switch,

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,043
but I ended up giving it away to a friend who lost theirs.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,490
So long story short I'm Switchless right now. And I've been kind of waiting for one of these to come out

6
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:26,290
in order to, well, get a new Switch.

7
00:00:26,290 --> 00:00:32,960
Unfortunately it doesn't have quite the upgrades that I was hoping for, but it does report to be, OLED,

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,270
check out this bezel. It's like, hang on, press the home button three times.

9
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:45,100
Yep, that's oh, you can't, yeah, yeah. Well, you can kind of see it there that's a thick bezel

10
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:49,360
like that reminds me of the Blackberry Playbook. In fact, that's kind of what I felt

11
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,100
with the Nintendo Switch when it first launched, like, it looks like a really low end Android tablet

12
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:59,810
or like knock-off tablet, but obviously the switch has a bunch of party tricks.

13
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:04,810
Like it's kickstand here and your Joy-Cons here.

14
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:10,190
So you can basically take it anywhere you wanna go and play whatever you wanna play.

15
00:01:10,190 --> 00:01:15,530
I mean, personally, aside from Nintendo's first party titles,

16
00:01:15,530 --> 00:01:20,660
there's not a whole lot that I would play on Switch versus any other console or platform for that matter,

17
00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:24,430
like PC, but it being portable is a huge bonus.

18
00:01:24,430 --> 00:01:27,780
And we have the Switch Lite here as well.

19
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:33,570
That's something that I've kind of, sort of wanted to look into getting,

20
00:01:33,570 --> 00:01:38,410
cause they're a little bit cheaper, but I mean,

21
00:01:38,410 --> 00:01:42,890
I don't really like that you can't put it into like kickstand mode,

22
00:01:42,890 --> 00:01:45,980
you can't take the Joy-Cons off, it's all integrated.

23
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:50,120
Well, let's get into the box and see if there's anything immediately obvious

24
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,983
that makes this more of a cohesive experience.

25
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:58,760
Oh, these are not white.

26
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,853
Well, they are, but they are rather special.

27
00:02:03,998 --> 00:02:07,910
Oh man I love that aesthetic, this is my favorite dbrand skin.

28
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:14,060
Like hands down. The only reason I didn't for my phone here

29
00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:18,800
is because I just wanted something that would immediately identify it as mine,

30
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,660
because there are other people in the office with such cases.

31
00:02:22,660 --> 00:02:27,880
Yeah and even on the back here, they have the, where the battery goes, nice.

32
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,140
So I take it, this is sponsored by dbrand, we'll get into that later.

33
00:02:31,140 --> 00:02:35,700
I'm not entirely sure what's involved with that, but okay.

34
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:40,440
Here's the Joy-Cons, here's the Nintendo Switch OLED.

35
00:02:41,770 --> 00:02:44,800
Oh, I'm disappointed. There's nothing on the back of the Switch.

36
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,130
I guess the robots have failed us. We'll get into the Switch itself in a moment.

37
00:02:50,130 --> 00:02:53,713
I was going to say that I was really happy about all the cardboard, but,

38
00:02:56,290 --> 00:02:57,990
everything's individually wrapped.

39
00:02:59,490 --> 00:03:02,900
Okay, oh, oh, that's interesting.

40
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:06,980
The back of the Nintendo Switch dock is significantly changed.

41
00:03:06,980 --> 00:03:11,651
Now we have this little cutout here, which I'm pretty sure didn't exist in the previous model.

42
00:03:11,651 --> 00:03:16,160
Open this up, it's not on a straight hinge. It just comes off,

43
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,160
and we've got AC adapter, HDMI out and LAN, built in LAN.

44
00:03:22,590 --> 00:03:28,870
That is an excellent addition. Before you had to go out and buy a USB network adapter

45
00:03:28,870 --> 00:03:31,940
and just kind of hope that it was compatible with the Switch.

46
00:03:31,940 --> 00:03:38,050
It wasn't a great experience and Wi-Fi isn't a great experience for online play.

47
00:03:38,050 --> 00:03:41,500
All right, so to compare, this is the new one,

48
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:46,500
and okay so there was a little cutout here, but it was very angular and not nearly as,

49
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:48,893
as wide as the new one.

50
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:54,010
And again, this just kind of hinges and yeah.

51
00:03:54,010 --> 00:03:58,090
So we've got AC adapter, a USB port, and HDMI out.

52
00:03:58,090 --> 00:04:02,250
Oh, that is a nice looking screen. Even when it's blank, check this out.

53
00:04:02,250 --> 00:04:06,300
It's like, is that a little, yeah, it's a little blacker 'cause you can see the,

54
00:04:07,370 --> 00:04:11,770
where the LCD is versus the bezels on the standard Switch.

55
00:04:11,770 --> 00:04:15,790
But it's much tougher to see that on the Switch OLED.

56
00:04:15,790 --> 00:04:20,674
It's very similar in thickness. However, one thing that is not similar

57
00:04:20,674 --> 00:04:24,550
is this beefy boy kickstand,

58
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:29,530
you can actually put this at multiple different angles, they actually got a very good kickstand going here.

59
00:04:29,530 --> 00:04:34,530
This is like next level, I like it, it's thin,

60
00:04:34,930 --> 00:04:38,810
but it does feel like it's like got purpose, you know,

61
00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:42,770
whereas this kickstand it's plastic and is it?

62
00:04:42,770 --> 00:04:46,960
Yeah, it is definitely plastic. And every time I opened this kickstand,

63
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,270
I feel like something is going to break. What I can do with this new stand is angle it

64
00:04:52,270 --> 00:04:56,870
such that not only can you see, oh, hi,

65
00:04:56,870 --> 00:05:02,570
not only can you see, but I can see too. That is something that you just cannot do

66
00:05:02,570 --> 00:05:06,133
with this old kickstand. Like we're just right there, yep.

67
00:05:07,930 --> 00:05:14,150
That's the best you get. I'm honestly surprised that we put up with the old design.

68
00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:19,340
But it was such a novel concept. The Switch console itself that I guess we just didn't care.

69
00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:22,599
I wanna see what the screen looks like. Do you want to see what the screen looks like?

70
00:05:22,599 --> 00:05:27,070
- [Man] Hell Yeah. - Yeah, let's see what the screen looks like after I talk to you about our sponsor dbrand,

71
00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:29,453
dbrand has something special for us.

72
00:05:30,380 --> 00:05:35,380
It appears that dbrand has a glass screen protector

73
00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:44,420
for the brand new Switch OLED. And they have requested that not only I install this,

74
00:05:44,450 --> 00:05:49,700
but that I test it. (drill motor revving) I am gonna be so happy if I break this,

75
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:53,090
let's see if I can align this.

76
00:05:53,090 --> 00:05:56,637
Oh, this is not good at all. Am I doing this right.

77
00:05:56,637 --> 00:06:01,030
- [Andy] Probably not. - [Phone Speaking] Note that your tempered glass comes with two pieces,

78
00:06:01,030 --> 00:06:06,620
just in case you (beep) on your first try. (multiple people laughing)

79
00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:10,733
- [Anthony] All right, it's not perfect. It's got some stuff under it. Oh, I don't like this.

80
00:06:11,674 --> 00:06:15,620
(drill motor revving)

81
00:06:15,620 --> 00:06:20,630
So there's some kind of something on there, but, it just swiped off, interesting.

82
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:24,691
All right, let's try more pressure. (drill motor revving)

83
00:06:24,691 --> 00:06:29,240
All right, I'm putting decent pressure on it right now. I should be going through the table if I was drilling into the wood.

84
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,626
Yeah, there's nothing, more pressure. (drill motor revving)

85
00:06:32,626 --> 00:06:37,840
Honestly I like with the pressure I was putting on it. I was more worried that I would like start

86
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:40,840
to put more pressure on the OLED than the OLED could take.

87
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:47,700
But like, not only did it not go through, like, don't worry too much about the bubbles,

88
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:51,060
but there's no scratches, dbrand glass works.

89
00:06:51,060 --> 00:06:55,070
Get yours at the link below. We should talk about what the screen is covered with.

90
00:06:55,070 --> 00:06:58,580
So the screen is actually made of glass this time around

91
00:06:58,580 --> 00:07:02,020
and there's this nice. I'm not sure if the bezel itself has glass too,

92
00:07:02,020 --> 00:07:08,460
but it kind of wraps around, it's more gentle curve than the Switch,

93
00:07:08,460 --> 00:07:12,250
or at least that's what it feels like to my fingers. Maybe it's just that it's smoother.

94
00:07:12,250 --> 00:07:16,830
But there is a screen protector on this,

95
00:07:16,830 --> 00:07:20,690
which you do not want to take off. It's there so that when the screen breaks,

96
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:24,793
if the screen breaks, it doesn't just go everywhere.

97
00:07:25,970 --> 00:07:30,200
It is not shatter resistant glass. So that's there to catch it.

98
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,460
You don't want to take that off if you drop your Switch and you don't have that on it,

99
00:07:34,460 --> 00:07:40,273
that glass is gonna go everywhere. So keep it on there, just enjoy, enjoy it,

100
00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:44,910
it doesn't feel like actually there's anything on there.

101
00:07:44,910 --> 00:07:49,440
So they did a pretty good job with that. Switch, that's bright.

102
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:55,290
Ooh, whoa, wow, the colors are popping. Wow, check out the, I don't know if you can see,

103
00:07:55,290 --> 00:08:00,100
the brightness is super high and the saturation of the colors.

104
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:04,770
It may be oversaturated, actually, it's not even really a contest actually,

105
00:08:04,770 --> 00:08:09,280
let me quickly put this in or put this in dark mode, cause that's more appropriate for an OLED anyway.

106
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,820
That is pretty good. And also the screen is bigger because despite the fact

107
00:08:13,820 --> 00:08:18,820
that the consoles are the same size, the bezels have been trunk dramatically.

108
00:08:18,820 --> 00:08:24,270
This is without a doubt, the way that I would want to experience the switch like,

109
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:27,320
this console, I was never really happy with,

110
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,900
and there was a reason why I was okay with giving it away.

111
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:34,290
This I would not give away. Like if I were to launch,

112
00:08:34,290 --> 00:08:37,670
let's just launch Breath of the Wild on both of these real quick.

113
00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:41,760
The blacks here don't really look all that black,

114
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:48,740
they look gray. Here the dynamic range is so much nicer.

115
00:08:48,740 --> 00:08:51,880
So like, yeah, it's not showing the same screen,

116
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,800
which is kind of frustrating, but like you can see just how more,

117
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,170
how much more vibrant this is like that energy arrow,

118
00:09:00,170 --> 00:09:03,240
that Lincoln shooting there. I haven't actually played Breath of the Wild.

119
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,240
I'm ashamed to admit, it looks like it's glowing.

120
00:09:08,820 --> 00:09:12,835
Whereas here this little impact here doesn't really look like much is happening.

121
00:09:12,835 --> 00:09:16,500
It doesn't show up on the camera. I can see what the camera is seeing.

122
00:09:17,460 --> 00:09:21,230
The vibrancy of the colors is not showing up nearly as well

123
00:09:21,230 --> 00:09:24,230
as I can see in person, that is staggering.

124
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:27,510
But yeah, even just like the Switch online logo,

125
00:09:27,510 --> 00:09:32,653
you can see it, it's red, the Metroid Dread logo, it's red.

126
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:39,580
This looks muted by comparison, all the colors. Well, it looks kind of like the difference between vibrant

127
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:44,580
and SRGB for a monitor or TV, which might strike you as,

128
00:09:46,350 --> 00:09:50,200
not necessarily what you want. You can see so much more of the screen,

129
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,140
like it's a seven 720p screen, yes. So you're gonna see pixels,

130
00:09:54,140 --> 00:09:59,140
but honestly, not really like this screen, it looks fine.

131
00:10:00,060 --> 00:10:03,090
This screen, yeah.

132
00:10:03,090 --> 00:10:07,823
Small, medium, large, except not actually larger,

133
00:10:07,823 --> 00:10:14,190
just the screen is larger. So this is 0.881 pounds, which is 14.1 ounces

134
00:10:14,190 --> 00:10:18,810
or 400 grams exactly, 424 grams.

135
00:10:18,810 --> 00:10:23,290
So yeah, it's not that much heavier. Now, it is disappointing that Nintendo

136
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:26,740
didn't upgrade the SOC or, give us DLSS

137
00:10:26,740 --> 00:10:31,690
when we're docked or anything like that. But at this point, that's the kind of thing

138
00:10:31,690 --> 00:10:37,370
that'll happen with a new console, I think. This is actually a game that I would buy a Switch for.

139
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:40,470
(dramatic music)

140
00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:43,220
Okay, that sounds pretty good. The stereo engine is pretty good.

141
00:10:44,890 --> 00:10:50,280
Not a whole lot of bass to it. I don't have a whole lot of reference

142
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:57,035
for how the original Switch sounded. - [Phone Speaking] Cling to certain walls and ceilings,

143
00:10:57,035 --> 00:11:02,035
its automated (dramatic music)

144
00:11:03,170 --> 00:11:06,600
- It is richer, it's also a little bit louder I think. Hey, Linus is here.

145
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,277
You wanna take a look at these? Yeah. You wanna take, you want to take a look?

146
00:11:10,277 --> 00:11:14,320
- Yeah, I want to see I'm a mostly handheld guy. Can I just throw these on?

147
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,380
I just forgot to, wanna experience it here.

148
00:11:17,380 --> 00:11:20,530
I actually bought one already, I pre-ordered.

149
00:11:20,530 --> 00:11:26,200
I know, I know, I say don't pre-order and then I pre-ordered, but literally the only real complaint

150
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,160
that I had about the Switch, because I don't care about the performance from a performance side game on a PC.

151
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,640
Literally the only thing I cared about, they fixed it, man.

152
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,207
The bigger size freaking awesome. - [Anthony] Yeah its amazing,

153
00:11:38,207 --> 00:11:41,920
the bezels on the old one look like a Blackberry playbook. This is amazing.

154
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,930
- Okay, all right. I am still okay with my pre-order.

155
00:11:45,930 --> 00:11:52,460
Hey, I love that the best game for this console is still the one that launched, goodbye air gap.

156
00:11:52,460 --> 00:11:56,870
An air gap is a big deal, you might feel like, oh, Linus your just like fussing about a stupid little thing

157
00:11:56,870 --> 00:12:04,110
that doesn't matter, but it does multiple things. One, is it makes it so that your off-axis viewing experience

158
00:12:04,130 --> 00:12:08,170
is not nearly as good, which, okay, sure, yeah, fine, most of the time, it doesn't matter.

159
00:12:08,170 --> 00:12:12,050
But when you're say, sitting on a plane playing Mario Party

160
00:12:12,050 --> 00:12:15,650
or something like that, it actually matters quite a lot.

161
00:12:15,650 --> 00:12:18,523
And the other thing is that it reduces clarity.

162
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,412
So this is just better. Okay, no, I'm done, I'm getting out of the way.

163
00:12:23,412 --> 00:12:27,580
Sorry, carry on, have fun - [Anthony] See you a letter. So yeah, you can definitely make out the pixels,

164
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:31,510
especially here with the kind of haloing around link

165
00:12:31,510 --> 00:12:36,553
in the shadow of the clouds. It is very much more noticeable,

166
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:41,616
but that doesn't mean it doesn't look good.

167
00:12:41,616 --> 00:12:44,930
(tab scraping) Oh yeah, every time.

168
00:12:44,930 --> 00:12:46,973
In this, you can feel it scraping,

169
00:12:49,410 --> 00:12:54,410
here, it's way less of a concern.

170
00:12:54,650 --> 00:12:58,920
My goal isn't to review any games, so I guess I don't really need to play any more games

171
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,900
to get across the differences that we've seen here.

172
00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:07,030
The dock is significantly upgraded actually when you think about it,

173
00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:10,250
you don't have to go out and buy a new LAN adapter,

174
00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:15,250
the Switch itself, beautiful display, better speakers,

175
00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:21,380
way, way better kickstand, that can go to any angle.

176
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:28,870
It's just, it's just better. Now this screen might not be as long lived as an LCD,

177
00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:32,770
particularly if you're able to replace the backlight and the LCD that's failing.

178
00:13:32,770 --> 00:13:36,480
But I mean, how long are you gonna think,

179
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:41,010
that's really far out. All right, Switch OLED model $ 349 US.

180
00:13:41,010 --> 00:13:45,810
Okay, and I think these regular switches $299. Am I not, am I correct?

181
00:13:45,810 --> 00:13:49,590
Actually, yeah. For 50 bucks in the difference, I would totally do it.

182
00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:53,260
If you don't have a Switch already, if you do have a Switch, now,

183
00:13:53,260 --> 00:13:58,860
it really depends on your priorities. If you just wanna play the games, then there's no reason to pick up the Switch OLED.

184
00:13:58,860 --> 00:14:03,763
Especially if you play mostly in docked mode, but if you play in portable mode a lot,

185
00:14:04,830 --> 00:14:08,240
this I think is the definitive experience.

186
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:14,880
And I think it's worth paying the extra 50 bucks for. So yeah, if you wanna see more unboxings

187
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,070
and first impressions like this one, get subscribed because there's plenty more

188
00:14:19,070 --> 00:14:20,120
where this came from.

189
00:14:22,099 --> 00:14:25,500
(glass breaks) Oh yeah, that's tempered glass.
