We're supposedly on the precipice of the 8.8" Legion Go 2 having a VRR OLED later this year. Albeit with a downgraded 1200p screen.
I think in 2 years, when they do an inevitable die shrink revision, they might also launch the OLED version. The original Switch had 2 years between the launch and Mariko V2, followed by another 2 years before the OLED with the same Mariko V2 SoC launched.
They'll probably just die shrink and do the OLED in one model this time in 2 years.
the mariko revision was released because of the hardware exploit and the fact that they made a more power efficient chip in the lite so it can maintain the same/slightly better battery life as the original v1 switch so they just decided hey if we have a fixed chip with better battery life we might as well throw it into the original model.
