In terms of performance, not much has changed. But an oled panel, 30% more battery life, 90hz refresh rate and improved haptics feels like an entirely new device to me.
If I knew they where making one 5 months ago when I bought it I would have waited instead.
If you just got yours, and it’s still in the return window, there isn’t any reason to NOT send it back for a refund. The new OLEDs are priced at better deals than the previous ones.
For instance, I ordered mine on the 28th of October. It arrived exactly 7 days ago and I’ve been having a blast on it. I am returning it for a refund. My 256 version from Steam was right at $530 before tax. The brand new OLED 512 version is $550, with a larger battery, better screen, larger screen, better wifi, and better cooling. That is a 20-dollar difference to damn near upgrade everything on the device.
I hear it’s little improvements and not worth getting a whole new SD if you have one.
But I want one.

I do already own original and modified versions of every generation of the Game Boy…
That 90hz refresh rate is huge. I’ve always wanted more battery life in mine. An upgrade is appropriate.
It’s not just little improvements, it’s a lot of little improvements, especially so for tinkerers.
Better screen, bigger battery, more efficient power delivery, quieter, more storage, faster ram, all for the same price.

You were lied to by someone in denial.
The new one is FAR better in EVERY way.
We all got ripped off accept it. We were
