You all might want to check your Galaxy S22 Ultra devices!
This is my second unit. My first one had nicks in the paint around one of the lenses right out of the box. This is the second one I bought. It came perfect and went right into a case.
This evening as I was wiping the camera lenses with a cleaning cloth I noticed almost all of the camera rings have little chips in this black finish. Not sure what to think.
Very disappointed.

Time to look at some screens! I may have gotten more than one OLED Nintendo Switch so I could see the differences lol
Already, we know these are NOT PENTILE! Yay!
And no, I don’t scalp the extras. They are accounted for.

Who is getting the Z Fold 3? Or the Flip?

Success! I ordered 2 OLED model Nintendo Switch consoles so that I can compare the screens! You all know I can’t help but jump in on this one!
I will be talking about my findings with these screens: pentile vs RGB stripe, calibration, etc.
I anticipate, just like with my OLED Vita, that the contrast ratio of OLED is going to make things much more immersive, but expect already saturated greens and reds in some games to look VERY green and red. Like neon.
Most things will look nice, punchy and really grab your attention, making the experience more memorable, which is GREAT if you mostly play handheld like me. But then you will play games like Stardew Valley and feel a bit ill from the oversaturation.
Stay tuned! We shall see!

I consoled myself after yesterday’s OLED Switch announcement and created a clear “Fire Mario” Switch. I’d say if you already own a Switch you don’t need the OLED model. This was a great mod to make old hardware feel new!
See @ExtremeRate ! This was a blast!
As for the OLED screen I have the worst feeling that it will be crap. 720p pentile at 7 inches??? It will look less sharp than the RGB stripe LCD of the current Switch and it will look “hatchy” with a screen door effect. Think of the oled screens of old.
I also think colors will be so grossly oversaturated that some games will look neon. If they don’t bother to calibrate the grayscale you will also have no details in shadows, making some content look overly dark.
It could be really dreadful.
If they properly calibrate these displays and include an sRGB mode to Switch to it could be OK.
