The report also claims that Nintendo has decided to go with rigid OLED panels for this new model, a “cheaper but less flexible alternative to the type commonly used for high-end smartphones.”

This deal will benefit Samsung Display as the rigid OLED panels’ market prices were falling due to excess supply. This will also hopefully benefit Nintendo as this partnership will help them in a time where semiconductor shortages are causing delays for PS5s, Xbox Series X consoles, and graphics cards. This rumored “Switch Pro,” as some have called it, has been in high demand from fans for some time. Nintendo has been tight-lipped about any new model.
