Recently, specifications for the Nintendo Switch’s next variant leaked out online and they provide lots of information about the upcoming revised version of Switch which has been rumored to be in the works for quite a while.
The upcoming Nintendo Switch, codenamed as ‘Aula’ according to ResetERA forums will reportedly feature a new OLED screen and the new Switch will be powered by a Mariko SoC. According to the current information, ‘Aula’ will support both handhelds and docked mode and won’t be a docked-only version.
The most interesting point is the OLED screen and 4K resolution support most probably through the docked mode. According to SciresM, the new Switch will utilize 4k resolution in some form and may function through a brand-new dock.
All this information is very interesting and we will have to wait and see how the new Variant will be different from the old ones in both performance and price.
