The Nintendo Switch 2 can look like its predecessor, but there have been a lot of changes in its functionalities and under the hood. The new console has “10x graphic performance” compared to the original switch, known as NvidiaWho built the personalized processor supplying switch 2.
The Switch 2, with an release date on June 5, is a price of $ 450 alone or $ 500 in a package with Mario Kart World, the headliner of the console launch games. Here is all the information on how to pre -order Switch 2.
Note that we mainly compare Switch 2 to the original switch 1 published in March 2017, because the closure in the Lite and Switch OLED switch is complicated.
Design
In general, the Switch 2 is a larger version of its predecessor, with everything that seems slightly inflated: a larger imprint, a larger screen, bigger joys.
Original switch: The original switch, with joys-corned in side rails, measures just over 9.4 inches wide, 4 inches high, just over half a pump and weighs around 10.5 ounces (297 grams). The Joy-Cons slide in the top of the sides of the device, while a thin plastic corner comes from the back of the console to serve as a crutch.
The switch also came with a quay, in which the console could slip to recharge and go out to a TV or a large screen via the HDMI port.
Switch 2: The new Switch 2 is greater in all directions, but it has the same global shape and the same arrangement as the original. The new Joy-Cons will indeed be kept in place on the magnetically console and will connect to the console via pins. The new console also features a large drop in U which extends over almost its whole rear width, which can be moved to support switch 2 to various angles. Nintendo says that the console has more powerful speakers, which we are impatient to test.
The quay of switch 2 is largely similar, although it has rounded edges and an internal fan to cool the console during long game sessions. More importantly, it can produce 4K games to televisions, but only for certain games.

Joy
The Joy-Cons were a wonder when they arrived on the first switch, and although they were functionally similar in his successor, there were upgrades in the controllers of switch 2.
Original switch: The Joy-Cons switch is simple but powerful controllers who have slipped on and out of the console via plastic rails, connecting and recharging via pins on the side. Detach and they become their own micro-controls, with small shoulder buttons to start.

Switch 2: The Joy -Cons of the new console are larger to adapt to switch 2 and lock yourself in the side of the console via powerful magnets – there are small inward buttons on the side of ZR and ZL to detach the console controllers. Larger joy-consumes have longer exterior and R shoulder pimples, as well as wider SL and SR internal buttons, which are accessible when detached from the console.
And yes, you can use the 2 Joy-Cons switch as mice by placing their interior edges flat on a surface. During the Nintendo Direct, we saw it being used to control active action games such as Dragxdrive Games and strategy simulating basketball in wheelchair like Civilization VII.
The Switch 2 looks like rumors.
Display sizes
Original switch: The original switch has a 6.2 -inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels, which was reasonably impressive when launching in 2017, but was outclassed by new pocket computers with sharper screens. The OLED switch improved this with a larger 7 -inch screen showing black and deeper colors, but no resolution upgrade. The Lite switch has a 5.5 -inch LCD screen.
Switch 2: Not surprisingly, the largest size of the switch means a larger display. The new console has a 7.9 -inch LCD 1080p screen which can reach a cooling rate up to 120 Hz in portable mode, or up to 4K when moored and released to a TV.
Why no OLED display? Perhaps to save on costs … or possibly to give Nintendo Room to publish an OLED Switch 2 version on the line.
