In addition to battery life, colors, and screen size that others have mentioned, I think the weight reduction on OLED when I upgraded was actually the biggest thing that shocked me.
It's not immensely different, but if you use it daily, it's lighter enough than the original model to make a noticeable difference and just makes playing so much more comfortable, especially for longer periods.
I would not have expected the weight reduction to be this big a deal, but it really is for me.
It's weird how just a 5% decrease of weight is so impactful
I noticed and appreciated that weight reduction too. As a gamer who started with the Mattel Electronics IntelliVision, my hands are now less forgiving of stress than they used to be.
Oh god, the design of classic game controllers were all war crimes lol
We suffered for our gaming back then
