The hardware specs weren\u2019t the focus, but Nintendo dropped a detailed list of what\u2019s inside the Switch 2 on its website, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/gaming-systems\/switch-2\/tech-specs\/\">later provided even more detailed tech specs<\/a>. Most of what we knew from the original announcement video and some leaks turned out to be true: It\u2019s a bigger, better handheld console with a full slate of upgraded hardware.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Here\u2019s what we now know, specs-wise, about the Nintendo Switch 2.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>System size<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The original base model of the Nintendo Switch is approximately 4 inches high and 9.4 inches long (with Joy-Cons attached), according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2017\/1\/13\/14255984\/nintendo-switch-hardware-specifications-screen-resolution\">Nintendo\u2019s official system specs<\/a>. Switch 2 is a little bigger at 6.5 inches high and 10.7 inches long (also with Joy-Cons attached). The larger size also makes the Switch 2 weigh about 1.18 lbs, which is a little heavier than the .88-lbs original Switch. For another reference: That\u2019s a little less than the Steam Deck LCD\u2019s 1.5-lbs weight.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>Screen size<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/inside-the-nintendo-switch-2-hardware-specs-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Switch 2\u2019s capacitive touch screen is 7.9 inches \u2014 bigger than both the original Switch (6.2 inches) and the Switch OLED (7 inches) \u2014 but it\u2019s back to LCD. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The new display also got a bump in resolution to 1080p (from 720p) and supports a variable refresh rate (VRR) up to 120 Hz. HDR10 support is coming too, but Nintendo didn\u2019t specify any of the fine details on the screen\u2019s brightness so it might not be as impressive as something like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/23950861\/steam-deck-oled-review-valve-handheld-gaming\">Steam Deck OLED<\/a>. And while it\u2019s technically not a feature of the screen itself, the thinner bezel should make it just <em>feel<\/em> bigger as well.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Joy-Cons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/inside-the-nintendo-switch-2-hardware-specs-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Switch 2\u2019s new Joy-Cons work a bit differently than the original Switch. They magnetically attach to the sides of the console and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/509935\/switch-2-clap-switch-snap-nintendo-sound-effect\">don\u2019t produce that satisfying <em>snap<\/em><\/a> like they used to. The original Joy-Cons weigh around 1.7 ounces (left) and 1.8 ounces (right), and the new ones weigh around 2.3 ounces (left) and 2.4 ounces (right). That might be because the Switch 2\u2019s Joy-Cons have a mouse sensor that lets you flip them on their side and slide them around, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/550632\/switch-2-game-chat-c-button-nintendo-direct-joy-con\">the new C button<\/a> for GameChat. While Nintendo says that Joy-Con 2 controllers don\u2019t feature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/517877\/hall-effect-joysticks-switch-2-how-it-works\">Hall-effect joystick<\/a> technology, \u201cThe control sticks for Joy-Con 2 controllers have been redesigned and have improved in areas such as durability,\u201d the company says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In addition to a mouse sensor, each Joy-Con 2 has a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope. The Joy-Con 2 controllers have wireless connectivity via Bluetooth 3.0, and the right one has NFC wireless connectivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Nintendo says the Joy-Con 2 controllers have approximately 20 hours worth of battery life, and require approximately 3.5 hours to fully charge.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>Storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Switch 2 has 256 GB of flash storage, considerably more than the original Switch\u2019s 32 GB of storage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If that sounds a little small for you, you can still expand the storage with an SD card. The original Switch supported microSDHC and microSDXC (UHS-I) cards up to 2 TB, while the Switch 2 supports up to 2 TB microSD Express cards, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/news\/549531\/switch-2-microsd-express-card-specs-price-where-to-buy\">which offer much faster read speeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">CPU\/GPU<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Switch 2 is powered by a \u201ccustom processor made by Nvidia,\u201d Nintendo says. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/digitalfoundry-2025-df-weekly-what-does-the-switch-2-motherboard-leak-say-about-system-performance\">leaked details<\/a> gleaned from the console\u2019s motherboard, it\u2019s supposedly a custom Tegra T239 processor. That would put the system\u2019s processing power on par with previous-generation consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, according to analysts. But leaks suggest the Switch 2 will employ upscaling technology that can boost 720p resolution visuals up to 4K when docked, using machine learning techniques.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Additionally, Switch 2 is rumored to have 12 GB of RAM.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>Ports<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/inside-the-nintendo-switch-2-hardware-specs-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Switch 2 features a port for game cartridges, two USB-C ports, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The USB-C port on the bottom of the console is purely for charging and connecting to the dock. A slot for expanded microSD storage appears to be tucked away underneath the Switch 2\u2019s kickstand, similar to the original Switch.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Microphone<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/inside-the-nintendo-switch-2-hardware-specs-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Switch 2 has a built-in microphone that will primarily be used for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/550632\/switch-2-game-chat-c-button-nintendo-direct-joy-con\">Discord-like GameChat feature<\/a>. It has noise cancellation, echo cancellation, and auto gain control so you don\u2019t have to fuss with settings for it to pick up everyone in the room.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Battery life<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Switch 2\u2019s battery will last around 2 to 6.5 hours depending on the games you play. That\u2019s actually a tiny bit less than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/en-gb\/Support\/Nintendo-Switch\/How-Long-Does-the-Battery-Charge-Last-1630015.html\">launch Switch 1 models<\/a>, which can run from 2.6 to 6.5 hours, and considerably less than the updated models that last 4.5 to 9 hours. Blame the Switch 2\u2019s bigger and better screen for making you charge it a little more often. Thankfully, it can be charged up to full in the same three hours it took the original consoles (while in sleep mode).<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Nintendo will also let Switch 2 owners set the system\u2019s battery charge to slow down at \u201caround 90%\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/598661\/switch-2-battery-charging-settings-nintendo-today\">to preserve the system\u2019s battery life<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wi-Fi<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Switch 2 supports Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, which should make downloading games faster if you have a beefy internet connection. It also means screen-sharing your games over GameChat should be smooth, too. Alternatively, the Switch 2 dock has a wired Ethernet port built-in, unlike the original Switch which required a completely separate adapter.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dock<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/inside-the-nintendo-switch-2-hardware-specs-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Switch 2\u2019s dock looks a lot like the original Switch\u2019s dock, but it\u2019s a little bigger to match the size of the new console. It comes in at 4.5 inches tall, 7.9 inches wide, and 2 inches thick. On the back, there are 2 USB ports, an HDMI port, and an Ethernet port. And when you slide your system into it, it will output video up to 4K at 60 frames per second to your TV.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>Accessibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Switch 2 offers a couple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/gaming-systems\/switch-2\/accessibility\/\">new accessibility options<\/a> that weren\u2019t available on the original Switch, including text sizing and text-to-speech. You can also turn on speech-to-text and text-to-speech specifically for GameChat. And like the original Switch, you can still remap controller buttons, change the display colors, zoom into the screen, and swap the audio from stereo to mono.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/analysis\/509874\/nintendo-switch-2-specs-hardware-screen-size\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The full reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 was largely focused on all the new games you can play.
