3 best Nintendo Switch products to watch out for
The Nintendo Switch OLED is the company's premium flagship console. It's the most expensive of the three Switch models, but for the extra buck you're getting a lovely bright and sharp OLED screen on the device itself, which we'd consider an upgrade over the regular model's LCD screen.
Nintendo's first handheld hybrid that launched in 2017. Its 720p LCD screen certainly isn't as sharp or flashy as its younger OLED counterpart, but it's still an excellent display for most games.
The Nintendo Switch Lite is the budget option. Unlike the other models, the Lite can only be played portably, and can't connect to your TV. Still, you're getting a great portable experience here if you like to play a lot of smaller scale indies on the go.
