(Pocket-lint) – Nintendo reportedly asked developers to “prepare their games for 4K”, and rumors of a Nintendo Switch Pro are increasing. Now the latest rumor suggests that the next-gen upgraded version of Nintendo’s handheld console will include a Mini-LED display.
According to Economic Daily News (via Reddit), the Switch Pro Mini-LED display will come from Taiwanese panel maker Innolux Corporation. Apparently, Nintendo visited Innolux, which currently supplies several well-known companies, including Sharp, for the purpose of obtaining improved screens to be used in a Switch Pro model that is rumored to arrive next year.
Note that current Nintendo Switch models use a 720p backlit LCD screen. As for the new Mini-LED displays, they should result in deeper colors and darker blacks along with improved contrast. Apple is reportedly considering using this technology for its future devices.
The Nintendo Switch Pro is said to be a huge improvement over the Switch, thanks to a faster processor and GPU, plus twice the RAM. Storage is also supposed to be increased to cope with the additional space required for 4K games. However, we’re not likely to find out much more this year as the company is clearly content to let Xbox and PlayStation square off in the next-gen console war.
