But we want to see the updated chip. 12 or 16nm. We will need it to be x rayed

These new models are being produced outside of China already??
First they deny my repair, then they lose my 3 pairs of joycons I sent in for drift. Sent it to some random address, I'm sure it's going to take them weeks to resolve that. Wow.
Not quite what we were expecting but still worth a watch.

Caved and picked up the new Switch 1.5 or whatever we want to call it, today. Ordered online via BestBuy and picked it up from their 62nd St location in NY. Box says quite clearly that it's manufactured in China.
Won't really get around to messing with it until my new screen protector arrives on Wednesday, but I'll likely spend tonight or tomorrow backing up my SD card to an external HDD.

There's little reason for them to sell the new version before they wipe out their existing stock.
If you want to keep some saves like Splatoon 2 and Pokemon, you need to do the transfer because those don't have cloud saves.
I didn't buy Pokemon and sold Splatoon 2 awhile back so I think I'm good on that end! Sucks that they don't support cloud saves tho.
Apparently the revision screen has better color temperature compare to the original which is just a little too blue.
Hmmm less harmful blue color and noticeably longer battery life ??? This is too good to pass on... I wish I could find someone to buy my launch switch for $170 :( I want the newww one
There is also a $25 additional credit deal, they just need everything that the Switch would come with.
Did you ever find a solution? I tried again calling Nintendo again and this time I talked to someone much more receptive. They're going to let me send the console in and replace the screen. If they feel it's a manufacturing issue, they will replace it free of charge. Other wise, I gotta pay a fee. Still beats being stuck with a crap screen.
I'd ring Nintendo a few more times and see if someone would be willing to set you up a repair.
Arlo has a video up. He managed to get a new unit.
He got 5.5 hours on Fire Emblem Three Houses in Handheld mode.

Spawnwave confirmed Switch V2 isn't using the Igizo screen
So perhaps we are getting more switch models on the way according to rumors from Wall Street Journal? It could be the Switch Pro.. Likely next year. I really doubt the Switch lite will use the screen.

Not sure what he's going to go overdrive on. lol
It does make sense though, if WSJ's rumors about the new screen are true. Switch V2 is meant to replace OG Switch, and switch lite is just catering to the handheld portion.
And releasing two more switch models (or one) as early as March 2020, or late 2020 (increase the chances of a 7nm chip) for a Switch Pro is somewhat plausible. If Switch Pro hybrid gets a 7nm, then a 1 TFLOP Switch in docked mode should not be a problem at all and it could have the higher quality screen and maybe be priced at $350). Only thing really counting against using a 7nm chip by the end of next year is that nintendo isn't known to buy the latest technology.
As for the second model... It could be the true home console niche. $300 to play xbone/ps4 quality games with no screens. Doesn't have to worry about a battery and use a tx1 12nm with some investment in cooling. Or they could go above and get a turing and make it on the level of PS4 Pro/Xbone X and price it at $400
If I order this from Amazon, what guarantee do I have that the red box will be what arrives to my country?
I have no way seeing the actual physical item I'm ordering until it ships here after multiple days.

If I were you I'd wait a bit before ordering from amazon. From my understanding you have no guarantee and it makes sense amazon would ship out old stock first.
Is a Switch 2/Pro rumored to come out next year? Because if so I might keep my current Switch instead of trading it in 🤔.
You can tell easily by the box.
The old one
The new one

Thanks! This will be my 3rd Switch, that battery upgrade is so badly needed especially after so many interrupted FE sessions lolYou can tell easily by the box.

But wouldn't a power bank be a cheaper option?
I guess so. I'm only interested in it as a possible gift and I'm sure that those recipients would be just as happy with the old revision, but if I possibly buy another Switch, might as well get the new one.
Too much hassle, I rather carry 1 bulk since the Switch is too big already. I have kids too so the old one (2nd) is for them, the first one I have is purely for homebrew/emulation
You can thank Trump for that.
You almost sound like the target audience for Switch Lite, but I assume it's inferior battery (compared to the new model) and inability to dock are factors here.
Battery is the biggest problem, I don't care about dock since I play my Switch 99% as handheld (Switch games doesn't look good on my oled tv). Lite doesn't have much to offer outside of being cheaper
Shrugs, it's what SMD is saying Spawnwave said. I dunno even know why I bother with that guy's vids, lol.
EDIT: Watched Spawnwave's video it's SMD exaggerating and taking things out of context as per usual.
I'll be still waiting for the inevitable Switch Pro or whatever.
All these over clocked videos from DF made me excited on what the current Switch is capable of. Making use of a tech to the most is more interesting than just jumping to cutting edge.

This and the Switch Lite fulfill all of the current credible rumors we have, at least in terms of imminent hardware releases. There was a mention of work on a successor from Nikkei, but it didn't sound particularly close.
I'm aware Nintendo was seeking to move some production out of China, didnt know it already occurred...
Spawn Wave didn't confirm anything. He confirmed the screen is made by Innolux, which is a subsidiary of Foxconn like Sharp has been since 2016, and shares the technology pipeline with Sharp, including (Naturally) the IGZO technology.
The only way to tell whether the new screens are IGZO panels is by analyzing them in depth, because Innolux makes IGZO panels and Spawn Wave clearly didn't know.
As for Nikkei they said cheaper "mini" version of the Switch will be dockable which is not true.
Nikkei is very 50/50 on these sorts of things in general.
Ok, so I stand corrected:
Just swapped my old Switch with joycon drift for the new one. Looking forward to setting it up tonight and testing the battery.
What no.
You're just repeating what I said dude. I made a typo with the "IGZO"
