Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo’s new Switch OLED model increases the system’s screen size. Rather than 6.2 inches, it’s now at 7 inches. That may not seem much, but it does make quite a bit of difference, and offering a larger screen wasn’t an easy task.
Ko Shiota, the head of the Technology Development Division, as well as Toru Yamashita of the Technology Development Department, discussed the Switch OLED screen size increase and the challenges involved as part of an interview published by Nintendo today. Yamashita pointed out that the difficulty came from “trying to increase the screen size while maintaining the console’s size and product strength.”
