The new device marks the first major hardware upgrade to the console originally released in 2017 for $299. Its key upgrades are a larger 7-inch OLED screen and a doubling of onboard storage to 64GB. It’ll come with improved audio and a new adjustable stand and dock, according to a statement from the company Tuesday.
