And it doesn't look like Bluetooth headset support is in the cards either
Nintendo just announced a new model of the Switch that has an OLED display, but it won't bring significant changes to the CPU or RAM currently used in other iterations of the console, Nintendo confirmed.
"The Nintendo Switch (the OLED model) doesn't have a new CPU, or more RAM, than previous Nintendo Switch models," Nintendo.
The company didn't mention anything about the improvements in its teaser video, on its marketing page dedicated to the new console, or on its page listing the device's technical specifications, so it's no surprise that this is the case.
Nintendo also confirmed that all Switch docks are interchangeable, which means that a non-OLED Switch can sit in the dock included with the OLED Switch and that an OLED Switch can fit into the older dock.
As for Bluetooth headset support, something we really wanted from an upgraded Switch, it doesn't seem to be in the cards either. “We have nothing to announce on this subject, but like the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite controllers, the Nintendo Switch (OLED model) supports Bluetooth for Joy-Con controllers,” Nintendo. And while you'll hear "enhanced audio" from the built-in speakers, Nintendo says there are no changes to the audio experience when listening through headphones or TV speakers when using the OLED Switch.
The new OLED Switch will be released on October 8th for $350. In addition to the larger screen and improved audio, it also appears to have a much improved kickstand.
