Nintendo has unveiled extensive details about the Nintendo Switch 2 during its latest Direct presentation, with even more technical specifications emerging after the broadcast. While several questions remain, here's what we know so far about the next-generation console.
Bigger, Brighter Display with High Refresh Rate
The Switch 2 will feature a 7.9-inch LCD screen with a wide color gamut and 1080p (1920×1080) resolution—a significant upgrade from previous models. The display supports HDR10 and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) up to 120Hz, enabling smoother gameplay when compatible with games and hardware.
Powerful Upgrades for TV Play
When docked, the Switch 2 can output at 4K (3840×2160) @ 60fps or 1080p/1440p up to 120fps. This enhanced performance is enabled by a custom NVIDIA processor, though exact CPU/GPU specifications remain undisclosed.
Battery Life & Portability
The console packs a 5220mAh Lithium-ion battery, offering an estimated 2–6.5 hours of gameplay and a 3-hour charge time in Sleep Mode. Battery life may vary based on software demands. The Switch 2 weighs 0.88 lbs (without Joy-Con) and measures 4.5" tall × 10.7" wide × 0.55" thick—slightly larger than previous models.
Storage & Audio Enhancements
Internal storage jumps to 256GB (compared to 32GB/64GB on older models) and supports microSD Express cards (up to 2TB). Audio capabilities include 5.1ch surround sound via linear PCM, with additional surround modes for headphones and built-in speakers post-update.
Additional Features
The Switch 2 includes Wi-Fi 6, two USB-C ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an improved built-in microphone with noise cancellation. While Joy-Con drift concerns remain pending confirmation, the system promises backward compatibility with existing Switch games.
