The Nintendo Switch OLED is the version with the bigger, brighter OLED screen, which makes it the best of the range for handheld play. It works the same three ways as the rest of the family, handheld, on a table or docked to the TV, and it plays the full Switch library from Mario Kart to Zelda.
Buying one refurbished is a more affordable way to get the top screen, and every console is tested and graded by our team. If you want to compare the models first, the refurbished Nintendo Switch hub has them all in one place. Take a look at what is in stock below.

The OLED is the one to go for if you play mostly in handheld mode. Its screen is larger and noticeably more vivid than the standard model, with deeper colour and better contrast, so games look their best in your hands. It also has a sturdier adjustable stand for tabletop play and more built-in storage, while everything else works just like the rest of the range. Dock it and you get the same games on the big screen as any other Switch.
Each console is fully tested, cleaned and graded before it goes on sale. You will see the grade on every listing, from A+ Pristine down through A Excellent, B Good and C Grade, so you can decide how much cosmetic wear you are happy with and pay accordingly. A lower grade performs exactly like a top one, it just carries a few more marks from its previous life.
If the screen is not a priority and you want to spend less, the standard refurbished Nintendo Switch plays the same games, and the handheld-only refurbished Nintendo Switch Lite is the cheapest way in. If you want the newest hardware, the refurbished Nintendo Switch 2 is the latest generation.
Buying refurbished rather than new saves you money and keeps a good console in use rather than sitting in a drawer. One of our team plays on a Switch OLED at home, so the consoles that leave us are ones we are happy to use ourselves.
The main difference is the screen. The OLED has a larger, brighter display with richer colour, which makes handheld play look considerably better. It also has a better stand and more storage. Both play exactly the same games and dock to the TV in the same way, so if you play mostly in handheld mode the OLED is worth it, and if you mostly play docked the standard refurbished Nintendo Switch saves you money.
Yes, if you want the best screen in the range for less than a new one. You get the same console and the same games, fully tested and graded before sale, at a lower price. It is also the greener choice, since it keeps a working console in circulation.
Yes. The OLED plays the full Nintendo Switch library, the same as the standard Switch and the Lite. The difference is in the screen and build, not the games. Only the Nintendo Switch 2 adds its own newer titles on top of the existing library.
Each console is graded so there are no surprises. A+ Pristine looks close to new, A Excellent has very light wear, B Good shows some visible marks, and C Grade carries more noticeable signs of use. Whichever grade you choose, the console has been fully tested and works the same. The grade only reflects how it looks.
Yes, every console is covered by our warranty and returns are straightforward if anything is not right. The exact cover is confirmed at checkout.
