With a 7.9-inch screen, the Switch 2 doubles the pixels of the original without getting any thicker. The screen is 1080p with a 120Hz refresh rate. And even though its just an LCD, it features HDR support to make colors look nice and vivid.
The JoyCons are magnetically attached as many suspected, with bigger SL and SR buttons, so horizontal play is easier. The JoyCons can also be used as a mouse, which should make first-person shooters even more fun on the device.
Here’s a fun one: with headphones, the Switch 2 features 3D audio, a technology that simulates surround sound.
The console itself features an improved kickstand and two USB-C ports, letting you charge the device while using extra peripherals.
The new system also includes 256GB internal storage, thank god.
The new Dock enables 4k resolution (!) when playing in Docked mode. The Dock also features a fan, so its a bit more substantial than the old plastic brick we’ve all been used to.
