Nintendo Switch 2: A fully upgraded gaming experience

With the global release of Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025, Nintendo has once again demonstrated its innovative capabilities in the field of game consoles. This new generation of game consoles not only inherits the unique hybrid design concept of the previous generation Switch, but also has achieved significant upgrades in many aspects such as screen, performance, controller and new features, bringing players an unprecedented gaming experience.

Screen and appearance design

Switch 2 is equipped with a larger 7.9-inch LCD screen, which provides a wider field of view compared to the 6.2-inch screen of the first generation. This screen supports 1080p resolution and has a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. With the HDR10 standard, the game screen is clearer and smoother. Although the size of the console has increased by about 15% compared to the previous generation, the thickness remains almost unchanged, ensuring the portability of the device. The overall weight has increased slightly, but in actual use it still meets the user's demand for portability.

Powerful performance and advanced hardware

The heart of Switch 2 is a custom NVIDIA T239 SoC, which is equipped with an 8-core ARM Cortex A78C CPU with a maximum frequency of up to 1.7GHz, and performs well in handheld mode. The GPU is based on the Ampere architecture, has 1536 CUDA cores, supports DLSS technology and ray tracing, and greatly improves graphics processing capabilities. In addition, the built-in 12GB LPDDR5X memory is significantly improved over the previous generation, ensuring the smoothness of multitasking. In terms of storage, it provides 256GB of UFS high-speed flash memory and supports microSD Express expansion cards up to 2TB.

Controller innovation and new features

The design of the Joy-Con 2 handle has been improved, and a magnetic connection method is used to make the installation more stable. The newly added "C key" is used to turn on the voice chat function, which is convenient for players to communicate in real time during the game. HD vibration technology has also been improved, and the vibration feedback is more refined and accurate. Switch 2 also introduces Game Chat and video call functions, which support up to 12 people to communicate online at the same time, and can connect the camera to realize video calls through the USB-C interface (subscription to Nintendo Switch Online membership is required).

Compatibility and efficient connection

Switch 2 is backward compatible with most Switch games, and both physical cartridges and digital games can run seamlessly. In terms of network connection, Switch 2 supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth, and can also access the network through wired LAN in TV mode. In dock mode, it supports 4K/60FPS output and provides HDR10 picture quality optimization, allowing players to enjoy high-quality game pictures on home TVs.

Battery life and fast charging

The built-in 5220mAh battery provides excellent battery life. The official said that it can maintain about 20 hours of game time under normal use. It takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes to fully charge, and the support of 36W fast charging greatly improves charging efficiency and reduces waiting time.
