Switch OLED Unboxing

Did you see that? Oh, it's the box.

Wow, this knife's sharp.

Switch.

OLED. Wow, it's pretty heavy.

What's inside the box?

Nothing. Okay, so this is the

main box.

Oh look, there's stuff on the back.

Tabletop mode. Oh yeah, it's got this

fancy kickstand now, and it comes with the

dock thing so you can plug it into the TV.

Oh,

it comes with this as well. Very generous

of Nintendo. What's that

thing here? How do I open it?

Oh, this is the Switch. That's it.

Oh my God, it's so thin. For some reason I

thought it'd be thicker.

So the cool thing about the Switch OLED

compared to the Steam Deck is you can

detach the controllers and you just have

the screen. It looks like a phone.

That's so weird like that.

It doesn't look like a Switch, it looks

like a phone or a tablet.

Yeah, it's interesting cuz you don't

actually need the controllers plugged in.

Okay, so that is the main bit. Of the

Switch OLED. Let me compare it to the

Switch Lite. Wow, that is big!

Whoa, that is big compared

to the Switch Lite screen. It's huge.

And then we have the Joy-Con.

Smells like plastic.

Joy-Con number 2.

This reminds me when I had the original

Switch and I bought this custom white

housing, and then me and my dad unscrewed

it, and then it took ages to screw it back

together. It was really difficult.

It looks pretty nice to have the white

housing, and then I sold it online because

I didn't want it anymore. And then I

bought a Switch Lite. So I sold the

original Switch, bought another Switch,

and now I bought a 3rd Switch when I don't

even like Nintendo games, to be honest.

What else do they give you?

Oh, this is the dock for the TV.

If I'm going traveling, I'm not sure if

I'd bring this because— well, I would

have a TV in hotels, wouldn't I?

Would I bring the dock?

Hmm.

It is quite heavy and bulky.

But it turns it into a proper console. I

don't like the way when it's in the dock

it moves like that. That feels not good

because it's plugged into like a USB-C at

the bottom.

I don't really want it to be moving around

like that. Not great design.

That sounds not good when you put it down.

It should fit in snugly and then stay in

place.

Then you've got— what's this?

HDMI to HDMI, very useful

for TVs. Then you've got the power

charger.

Oh nice, another USB-C charger.

Nice to have lots of those.

And then the control pad.

I've actually got a Switch Pro Controller.

I just remembered, where is it?

I bought one of these braces as well, so I

could put it in here.

I tried putting the Steam Deck in this,

it would not fit. Okay, that feels pretty

good. That feels quite nice.

It's quite nice actually like that. This

feels so much better than using the

Joy-Cons. I need to try the Joy-Cons

first, I haven't plugged them in yet.

Just feels interesting.

It does look really nice. Look at that.

And the kickstand— whoa, look at the

kickstand! Oh, that kickstand is really

nice. It's like the Microsoft Surface

tablets. Whoa, it goes all the way back

like that. It bends so far backwards.

Has a nice click as well.

And you also get Oh,

little bumper things for the Joy-Cons if

you detach them.

So you could put it

like this, like that.

You could have it here on some kind of

surface and then

slot these in here.

This is so weird, it's like a square.

This feels strange.

I would definitely use the Pro Controller

over that.

I don't know if I'd ever used it like this

because the screen is kind of small to

have it propped up on a surface. You would

want it in your hands close to your face,

wouldn't you?

It feels really nice.

I don't know if I'd say it feels better

than the Steam Deck. We're going to have

to do some comparisons.

Okay, we got the Steam Deck, Switch OLED,

and the Switch Lite.

Move it over here.

Which one do you like more?

My back hurts, too much hunching.

Wow, look at the comparison between the

Switch OLED. Oh my God. The Switch OLED

screen is the same size as the Steam Deck,

quite literally,

but it doesn't have those massive chunky

controller things like the Steam Deck has,

so it's way smaller. Wow, the Steam Deck

feels huge compared to the Switch OLED.

And compared to Switch Lite, wow, they

both feel small. I mean, they both smell—

they both feel massive. They both smell—

speaking is hard sometimes. I want

to take off the screen. See, Steam Deck

can't do this, can it, and just become a

little standalone Phone.

Look at the screen. Look, it fits exactly

inside of the Steam Deck. It's the same

size as the Steam Deck screen.

Now I wonder which screen is better

quality, because this is OLED, but what is

the Steam Deck?

I wonder if it has a screen protector.

I'm a bit scared. I think it does.

No, it doesn't. Why don't companies put

screen protectors on the products by

default? Like Samsung puts screen

protectors on their phones. You don't have

to buy one.

Okay, let's switch on the— no, first I

want to do more comparisons. Look at the

Steam Deck. They both

have fan vents.

Steam Deck is so much heavier, my, my hand

is trembling from the weight. See,

not fake.

Wow, look. I think design-wise the

Switch OLED looks way better. I love the

white and the black, and I love the little

It feels really nice, although I don't

really see myself using it.

Does Nintendo have a web browser?

Probably not. I don't think they do.

It's covered in smudges already.

It feels way lighter than the Steam Deck.

The Steam Deck? I never really liked

holding the Steam Deck, although the grips

are quite nice to wrap your fingers

around. I just, I don't know, something—

the triggers feel a lot nicer on the Steam

Deck. The triggers are pretty

tiny on the Switch. Yeah,

there's definitely less controller to wrap

your hands around.

Clicky thumbsticks.

Hmm, I think the Steam Deck feels a bit

better, and the buttons feel

better on the Steam Deck.

The buttons just feel kind of small on the

Switch OLED.

Switch Lite feels, feels like a toy.

Okay, switch on the Switch,

or I could put it into the dock like this.

But I have one question: can you plug the

Switch OLED into a monitor with HDMI?

So I could try plugging into my monitor.

I don't think it matters because when am I

gonna have a monitor just lying around?

Not sure what to think.

What if I turn it on?
