Nintendo Switch OLED: What are its new features?

The OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology means gamers get a screen they can see clearly from different angles with better picture quality and stronger colours.

The Switch OLED's display is also slightly bigger than the original Switch's 6.2" ( 15.7cm) screen, at 7 inches (17.7cm)

But the whole console is still roughly the same size as the older Switch, even with its bigger screen.

The back stand has also had a makeover to make it more stable and provide people with more options and angles to play.

Nintendo says the new Switch has "enhanced audio", and a port for connecting to the internet, plus 64GB storage.

When will the Nintendo Switch OLED be released?
