Nintendo Switch OLED Battery Life Test vs. Switch V2, V1 and LITE 

Can you run an Undertale challenge? Concept is that OLED on blacks significantly reduce power consumption....V2 vs OLED only should be enough :) More a proof of concept for fun...

@@Lancia444 yeah, or even better, Tetris effect, that game looks beautiful with oled and have dark backgrounds

What's the song at 0:01 I fell like it's Skylanders

i got a V1 switch and a oled switch, my sister owns a Switch Lite, i hope that when we repair our old switch cuz of damage, we get it 100% fixed/updated or replaced with a V2 switch lmao

Great job on the video, awesome! Someone else mentioned doing a game like Alien Isolation that has a ton of dark colors so the powered off oled pixels save battery?

jail break your v1 and buy a oled

@@jeremymcwiliker9030 can't argue with that lol

@@jeremymcwiliker9030 I'd keep it personally. V1's are going to be borderline priceless due to the hackability.

Same situation bro

Do it. I did it and it's the best thing ever. Between the screen and battery its so worth the price

I don't think it'll be a major problem. I didn't know that my phone even had an OLED screen for 3 years and it has no burn-in issue whatsoever! I think only serious negligence will cause that. If you just use it normally, turn it off when you're not using it, chances should be very low of getting burn-in.

Screen burn-in typically only happens when you have a device on and aren't interacting with it. It's like if you had one screen on and left it there for hours upon hours it would eventually burn-in. Nintendo counters this by having an auto-sleep feature when you don't interact with your switch for a few minutes or so (customizable time I think). The only logical way I could see a burn-in happening was if you left your game on the main menu or any menu in handheld mode with auto-sleep off for HOURS. I think it would take around a full day of leaving it on a menu honestly. If you keep that auto-sleep feature on and or shut off your switch when you're done, I wouldn't worry about it to be honest.

@@souptime_mp4 A full day? Lmao. not how it works. And all that matters is screen time accumulation, doesn't matter if it's 12 hours in a row or 12 hours spread out over a week. It's 12 hours.

@@souptime_mp4 it isn't about how long at a time, it's a general thing; OLED pixels will "wear off", which means that areas in the display that typically display lighter pictures will wear off earlier (that's why phones usually get the notication bar burn in) if you play one game with a fixed UI for an extented period of time it'll burn it, doesn't matter whether you switch to the home screen from time to time or not.

I don't remember my PS Vita before to have any burn-in and I had it for a long time usage. PS Vita was the first handheld to have an OLED display screen.

Yep. And you can squeeze out a few extra mins, here and there, based on which game you play. Lower spec games drain less power vs titles that push the Switch to it's limit.

The wifi connection is alot better also

@@samlee9323 Jesus, was it that bad in earlier models? I just got a switch oled and it's wifi is trash compared to my iphone 13 pro max

Glad it was helpful!

True, and therefore darker games will last longer (Undertale....)

Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this and fucking died

Haha i thought the same!

I did too. Sold 2 to friends for $350 each

Simple answer. He drove around too multiple stores and bought them. I didn't find my Switch OLED until the EIGHTEENTH store. It took me exactly a week to find one after it's release.

Bro they are in every walmart. You just have to look

The joycon drift is the main reason why I'm standing back

Factssss 😂😂😂😂😂

So true.

I had to buy mine for a reseller for $460. He wanted way more but I talked him down lmao.

@@lefthanded5473 yeah no fuck that shit lmfao I bought mine after I went to Walmart when I got off work one day and there was like 3 oleds and I was like ok I need to cop this tonight or they won’t be here tomorrow 😂😂

@@tylerdevitt2123 lucky bastard😂😂

Someone tested it for 7000 hours and it was VERY Minimal burn in it was on the same image so if u are playing normally it shouldn’t be a problem

Glad I could help!

Glad I could help!

what about the weight difference? how do you justify the oled vs lite? worried that it is heavy and uncomfortable in long handheld gaming sessions.

^

hi bro i heard oled have greentint?? do you're switch still ok?

Oh you know its gonna happen. Nintendo is always cheap with their games

Wulfdenn already tested it

@@arkanaskarillah3849 tested? You know this is a long-term test?

@@dasten123 He's in the process of testing. Last I saw, his switch was on nonstop, for about a week. No burn-in.

@@ThatMagicPie It would take about six months, realistically.

Someone else tried that and left it for like 12 days or something and no burn in on static images

@@gavinchandler1744 thank you

there's no way you get burn in that fast

that tests image retention. Burn in is something that accumulates overtime

It's not static since the grass and the time of day changes

Best of luck, if to been trying to sell my switch v2 since I received my OLED model and it's just to massive of a difference to keep the old console

Lol better than me mines had a bloated battery after a year n half

I had the v1 switch. I even changed the battery because it was bloated but the battery life was just as awful as the bloated one lol

do note that even though your battery will be mostly the same, the burn in risk does increase with higher brightness, at least in theory, we still haven't had reports of Switch burn in, so we'll have to wait and see

@@VagrantValmar that's what I thought. I have my TV on medium brightness for that reason

@@VagrantValmar but the auto brightness should have that covered right?

@@stevoofd hopefully lol

Yep, I noticed the battery difference instantly.

I traded my V1 in with a few games I didn't use and got the OLED for 8 euro. Profit, very cool upgrade even though we obviously were expecting a chipset upgrade as well.

@@quicogil4565 Did you check whether your v1 was hackable or not? Not that I encourage piracy whatsoever, but because if it was, you could even buy one OLED with some 60 bucks games by selling it.

Yes

Yup, just hope I get one bcz I waited a few hours to preorder and it showed I wouldn't get it until a few months after release. Might have to overpay someone on ebay lol.
