00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:01.570
- [Anthony] Nintendo Switch.

00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:07.030
Oh man, I've been waiting for this for a long time.

00:00:07.030 --> 00:00:12.030
I had, one of these guys, a regular Nintendo Switch,

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.043
but I ended up giving it away to a friend who lost theirs.

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

00:00:22.490 --> 00:00:26.290
in order to, well, get a new Switch.

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,

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.270
check out this bezel. It's like, hang on, press the home button three times.

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

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

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

00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:59.810
or like knock-off tablet, but obviously the switch has a bunch of party tricks.

00:00:59.810 --> 00:01:04.810
Like it's kickstand here and your Joy-Cons here.

00:01:05.030 --> 00:01:10.190
So you can basically take it anywhere you wanna go and play whatever you wanna play.

00:01:10.190 --> 00:01:15.530
I mean, personally, aside from Nintendo's first party titles,

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,

00:01:20.660 --> 00:01:24.430
like PC, but it being portable is a huge bonus.

00:01:24.430 --> 00:01:27.780
And we have the Switch Lite here as well.

00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:33.570
That's something that I've kind of, sort of wanted to look into getting,

00:01:33.570 --> 00:01:38.410
cause they're a little bit cheaper, but I mean,

00:01:38.410 --> 00:01:42.890
I don't really like that you can't put it into like kickstand mode,

00:01:42.890 --> 00:01:45.980
you can't take the Joy-Cons off, it's all integrated.

00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:50.120
Well, let's get into the box and see if there's anything immediately obvious

00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.983
that makes this more of a cohesive experience.

00:01:55.500 --> 00:01:58.760
Oh, these are not white.

00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.853
Well, they are, but they are rather special.

00:02:03.998 --> 00:02:07.910
Oh man I love that aesthetic, this is my favorite dbrand skin.

00:02:07.910 --> 00:02:14.060
Like hands down. The only reason I didn't for my phone here

00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:18.800
is because I just wanted something that would immediately identify it as mine,

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.660
because there are other people in the office with such cases.

00:02:22.660 --> 00:02:27.880
Yeah and even on the back here, they have the, where the battery goes, nice.

00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:31.140
So I take it, this is sponsored by dbrand, we'll get into that later.

00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:35.700
I'm not entirely sure what's involved with that, but okay.

00:02:35.700 --> 00:02:40.440
Here's the Joy-Cons, here's the Nintendo Switch OLED.

00:02:41.770 --> 00:02:44.800
Oh, I'm disappointed. There's nothing on the back of the Switch.

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.

00:02:50.130 --> 00:02:53.713
I was going to say that I was really happy about all the cardboard, but,

00:02:56.290 --> 00:02:57.990
everything's individually wrapped.

00:02:59.490 --> 00:03:02.900
Okay, oh, oh, that's interesting.

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:06.980
The back of the Nintendo Switch dock is significantly changed.

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.

00:03:11.651 --> 00:03:16.160
Open this up, it's not on a straight hinge. It just comes off,

00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:21.160
and we've got AC adapter, HDMI out and LAN, built in LAN.

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

00:03:28.870 --> 00:03:31.940
and just kind of hope that it was compatible with the Switch.

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.

00:03:38.050 --> 00:03:41.500
All right, so to compare, this is the new one,

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,

00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:48.893
as wide as the new one.

00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:54.010
And again, this just kind of hinges and yeah.

00:03:54.010 --> 00:03:58.090
So we've got AC adapter, a USB port, and HDMI out.

00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:02.250
Oh, that is a nice looking screen. Even when it's blank, check this out.

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,

00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:11.770
where the LCD is versus the bezels on the standard Switch.

00:04:11.770 --> 00:04:15.790
But it's much tougher to see that on the Switch OLED.

00:04:15.790 --> 00:04:20.674
It's very similar in thickness. However, one thing that is not similar

00:04:20.674 --> 00:04:24.550
is this beefy boy kickstand,

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.

00:04:29.530 --> 00:04:34.530
This is like next level, I like it, it's thin,

00:04:34.930 --> 00:04:38.810
but it does feel like it's like got purpose, you know,

00:04:38.810 --> 00:04:42.770
whereas this kickstand it's plastic and is it?

00:04:42.770 --> 00:04:46.960
Yeah, it is definitely plastic. And every time I opened this kickstand,

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

00:04:52.270 --> 00:04:56.870
such that not only can you see, oh, hi,

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

00:05:02.570 --> 00:05:06.133
with this old kickstand. Like we're just right there, yep.

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.

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.

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?

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,

00:05:27.070 --> 00:05:29.453
dbrand has something special for us.

00:05:30.380 --> 00:05:35.380
It appears that dbrand has a glass screen protector

00:05:36.470 --> 00:05:44.420
for the brand new Switch OLED. And they have requested that not only I install this,

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,

00:05:49.700 --> 00:05:53.090
let's see if I can align this.

00:05:53.090 --> 00:05:56.637
Oh, this is not good at all. Am I doing this right.

00:05:56.637 --> 00:06:01.030
- [Andy] Probably not. - [Phone Speaking] Note that your tempered glass comes with two pieces,

00:06:01.030 --> 00:06:06.620
just in case you (beep) on your first try. (multiple people laughing)

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.

00:06:11.674 --> 00:06:15.620
(drill motor revving)

00:06:15.620 --> 00:06:20.630
So there's some kind of something on there, but, it just swiped off, interesting.

00:06:20.630 --> 00:06:24.691
All right, let's try more pressure. (drill motor revving)

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.

00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.626
Yeah, there's nothing, more pressure. (drill motor revving)

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

00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:40.840
to put more pressure on the OLED than the OLED could take.

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,

00:06:47.700 --> 00:06:51.060
but there's no scratches, dbrand glass works.

00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:55.070
Get yours at the link below. We should talk about what the screen is covered with.

00:06:55.070 --> 00:06:58.580
So the screen is actually made of glass this time around

00:06:58.580 --> 00:07:02.020
and there's this nice. I'm not sure if the bezel itself has glass too,

00:07:02.020 --> 00:07:08.460
but it kind of wraps around, it's more gentle curve than the Switch,

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.

00:07:12.250 --> 00:07:16.830
But there is a screen protector on this,

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,

00:07:20.690 --> 00:07:24.793
if the screen breaks, it doesn't just go everywhere.

00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:30.200
It is not shatter resistant glass. So that's there to catch it.

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,

00:07:34.460 --> 00:07:40.273
that glass is gonna go everywhere. So keep it on there, just enjoy, enjoy it,

00:07:41.350 --> 00:07:44.910
it doesn't feel like actually there's anything on there.

00:07:44.910 --> 00:07:49.440
So they did a pretty good job with that. Switch, that's bright.

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,

00:07:55.290 --> 00:08:00.100
the brightness is super high and the saturation of the colors.

00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:04.770
It may be oversaturated, actually, it's not even really a contest actually,

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.

00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:13.820
That is pretty good. And also the screen is bigger because despite the fact

00:08:13.820 --> 00:08:18.820
that the consoles are the same size, the bezels have been trunk dramatically.

00:08:18.820 --> 00:08:24.270
This is without a doubt, the way that I would want to experience the switch like,

00:08:24.270 --> 00:08:27.320
this console, I was never really happy with,

00:08:27.320 --> 00:08:30.900
and there was a reason why I was okay with giving it away.

00:08:30.900 --> 00:08:34.290
This I would not give away. Like if I were to launch,

00:08:34.290 --> 00:08:37.670
let's just launch Breath of the Wild on both of these real quick.

00:08:37.670 --> 00:08:41.760
The blacks here don't really look all that black,

00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:48.740
they look gray. Here the dynamic range is so much nicer.

00:08:48.740 --> 00:08:51.880
So like, yeah, it's not showing the same screen,

00:08:51.880 --> 00:08:56.800
which is kind of frustrating, but like you can see just how more,

00:08:56.800 --> 00:09:00.170
how much more vibrant this is like that energy arrow,

00:09:00.170 --> 00:09:03.240
that Lincoln shooting there. I haven't actually played Breath of the Wild.

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:08.240
I'm ashamed to admit, it looks like it's glowing.

00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:12.835
Whereas here this little impact here doesn't really look like much is happening.

00:09:12.835 --> 00:09:16.500
It doesn't show up on the camera. I can see what the camera is seeing.

00:09:17.460 --> 00:09:21.230
The vibrancy of the colors is not showing up nearly as well

00:09:21.230 --> 00:09:24.230
as I can see in person, that is staggering.

00:09:24.230 --> 00:09:27.510
But yeah, even just like the Switch online logo,

00:09:27.510 --> 00:09:32.653
you can see it, it's red, the Metroid Dread logo, it's red.

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

00:09:39.580 --> 00:09:44.580
and SRGB for a monitor or TV, which might strike you as,

00:09:46.350 --> 00:09:50.200
not necessarily what you want. You can see so much more of the screen,

00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.140
like it's a seven 720p screen, yes. So you're gonna see pixels,

00:09:54.140 --> 00:09:59.140
but honestly, not really like this screen, it looks fine.

00:10:00.060 --> 00:10:03.090
This screen, yeah.

00:10:03.090 --> 00:10:07.823
Small, medium, large, except not actually larger,

00:10:07.823 --> 00:10:14.190
just the screen is larger. So this is 0.881 pounds, which is 14.1 ounces

00:10:14.190 --> 00:10:18.810
or 400 grams exactly, 424 grams.

00:10:18.810 --> 00:10:23.290
So yeah, it's not that much heavier. Now, it is disappointing that Nintendo

00:10:23.290 --> 00:10:26.740
didn't upgrade the SOC or, give us DLSS

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

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.

00:10:37.370 --> 00:10:40.470
(dramatic music)

00:10:40.470 --> 00:10:43.220
Okay, that sounds pretty good. The stereo engine is pretty good.

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

00:10:50.280 --> 00:10:57.035
for how the original Switch sounded. - [Phone Speaking] Cling to certain walls and ceilings,

00:10:57.035 --> 00:11:02.035
its automated (dramatic music)

00:11:03.170 --> 00:11:06.600
- It is richer, it's also a little bit louder I think. Hey, Linus is here.

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?

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?

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.380
I just forgot to, wanna experience it here.

00:11:17.380 --> 00:11:20.530
I actually bought one already, I pre-ordered.

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

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.

00:11:31.160 --> 00:11:34.640
Literally the only thing I cared about, they fixed it, man.

00:11:34.640 --> 00:11:38.207
The bigger size freaking awesome. - [Anthony] Yeah its amazing,

00:11:38.207 --> 00:11:41.920
the bezels on the old one look like a Blackberry playbook. This is amazing.

00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:45.930
- Okay, all right. I am still okay with my pre-order.

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.

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

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

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.

00:12:08.170 --> 00:12:12.050
But when you're say, sitting on a plane playing Mario Party

00:12:12.050 --> 00:12:15.650
or something like that, it actually matters quite a lot.

00:12:15.650 --> 00:12:18.523
And the other thing is that it reduces clarity.

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.

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,

00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:31.510
especially here with the kind of haloing around link

00:12:31.510 --> 00:12:36.553
in the shadow of the clouds. It is very much more noticeable,

00:12:37.590 --> 00:12:41.616
but that doesn't mean it doesn't look good.

00:12:41.616 --> 00:12:44.930
(tab scraping) Oh yeah, every time.

00:12:44.930 --> 00:12:46.973
In this, you can feel it scraping,

00:12:49.410 --> 00:12:54.410
here, it's way less of a concern.

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

00:12:58.920 --> 00:13:02.900
to get across the differences that we've seen here.

00:13:02.900 --> 00:13:07.030
The dock is significantly upgraded actually when you think about it,

00:13:07.030 --> 00:13:10.250
you don't have to go out and buy a new LAN adapter,

00:13:10.250 --> 00:13:15.250
the Switch itself, beautiful display, better speakers,

00:13:16.380 --> 00:13:21.380
way, way better kickstand, that can go to any angle.

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,

00:13:28.870 --> 00:13:32.770
particularly if you're able to replace the backlight and the LCD that's failing.

00:13:32.770 --> 00:13:36.480
But I mean, how long are you gonna think,

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:41.010
that's really far out. All right, Switch OLED model $ 349 US.

00:13:41.010 --> 00:13:45.810
Okay, and I think these regular switches $299. Am I not, am I correct?

00:13:45.810 --> 00:13:49.590
Actually, yeah. For 50 bucks in the difference, I would totally do it.

00:13:49.590 --> 00:13:53.260
If you don't have a Switch already, if you do have a Switch, now,

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.

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,

00:14:04.830 --> 00:14:08.240
this I think is the definitive experience.

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

00:14:14.880 --> 00:14:19.070
and first impressions like this one, get subscribed because there's plenty more

00:14:19.070 --> 00:14:20.120
where this came from.

00:14:22.099 --> 00:14:25.500
(glass breaks) Oh yeah, that's tempered glass.
