RUMOR: A New Switch with a better screen could be on the way in 2019

Polygon is reporting that several sources are indicating a new and improved Nintendo Switch is in the works to be launched next year. Based on a report filed by the Wall Street Journal which says:

“The current Switch uses a lower-end liquid-crystal display without some technologies that are standard in more recent smartphone LCDs. Updating the display with these technologies would make it brighter, thinner and more energy-efficient. The updated Switch isn’t expected to adopt the organic light-emitting diode or OLED panels used in Apple Inc.’s iPhone X series.”

What's still unclear is whether this also means the internal power of the console is going to get a boost. Even without a beefier internal parts, we imagine this would make the idea of owning more than one Switch in a family's house attractive. Heck, even I would think about it, while then giving my elementary school-aged son my current console to use.
