Furthermore, the Nintendo Switch 2 prototype is said to include a pair of joy-cons that appear similar to the original Nintendo Switch joy-cons. The console also features a magnetic slide rail and an 8-inch display. The latter was previously leaked via Omdia analyst Hiroshi Hayase, who had reported that a new device from Nintendo would be responsible for a doubling in shipments of “amusement” displays in 2024. According to the source, the aforementioned device would feature an 8-inch display. Hayase is an expert in the small medium display market, including display products for smartphones, automobile monitors, and digital consumer products. His research primarily focuses on small and medium sized display technologies.

Earlier, Taiwain’s Economic Daily had claimed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be equipped with the NVIDIA T239 chip, 8GB RAM, 64GB storage space, and a battery with greatly improved life. Additionally, the handheld’s display will have a refresh rate of 120Hz, leading to the possibility of certain games targeting a frame rate of 120fps. It’s currently unknown whether the display will also support Variable Refresh Rate, but it would certainly make sense for it to do so. The source had also mentioned that the console would retail for the price of 400 US Dollars.
