2023 shocker: new Switch with 8-inch LCD drops

The gaming industry is abuzz with the latest rumors about the successor to the Nintendo Switch which is expected to hit the market this year with an 8-inch LCD screen. Analyst Hiroshi Hayase from Omdia has proposed this potential launch, indicating a significant increase in the demand for LCD screens. The new model, claimed to be a refreshing change from the current 6.2-inch display, suggests Nintendo might be reverting to LCD screens after having previously released a model with an OLED screen. This news rides on the back of numerous predictions and leaks, hinting at an autumn release for the new Nintendo console. However, Nintendo has not yet made any official announcements confirming these details.

The rumored Nintendo Switch successor is expected to feature an 8-inch LCD display and could potentially release in the fall of this year. However, these details remain unconfirmed as Nintendo has not made any official statements.

Nintendo's Switch has been a game-changer in the market, merging the portability of handheld devices with the power of home consoles. Since its release in March 2017, the Switch has seen various iterations, including the Switch Lite and an updated model with an OLED screen. With a vast library of games and the flexibility to "switch" between handheld and docked modes, it caters to a wide gaming audience. The anticipated successor will likely seek to build on this innovative hybrid model while providing updated hardware and a refreshed gaming experience.
