Nintendo Switch 2 (Pro) LEAKED – PS5 & Xbox should be worried! By ZONEofTECH

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been leaked, and it is getting some pretty massive updates, and these updates are in terms of the display performance, docked mode design, and we even have some info regarding the price. So without any further ado, here's how the switch 2 will improve over the original in each of these areas, starting off with the display. The very first Nissan disk comes from end who've had a mixed track record in the past, claiming that Nintendo has already started preparing the mass production for the next-gen switch, which will be launched in 2021, so yeah just a few months. Essentially, this report claims that the switch 2 will be using mini led technology and that the displays would be manufactured by Taiwanese company. Influx mini led is actually a pretty big deal. It is a new display panel technology which sits right in between LCD and OLED, which can offer significantly better contrast than LCD thanks to multiple dimming zones without the downsides of OLED, such as low brightness and the risk of burning.

Now. The only problem that I find in this report is that mean led, is still quite expensive to manufacture it's not as expensive as OLED, but definitely more expensive than traditional LCD, and it's also quite tricky to manufacture. So, if Nintendo plans on actually using into locks, who will be new to the mini led manufacturing, I am not sure if they will be able to keep up with the demands. Keep in mind that Nintendo has sold over 62 million switches since its launch in 2017, which is obviously a lot. However, we do have a second report on this coming from Bloomberg, which claims that Nintendo would actually be using a Samsung OLED display instead of the mini led panel made by influx.

Now this is way more believable, as Samsung will be able to keep up with Nintendo's demand fairly easily. OLED also has a better contrast, perfect black levels and consumes less power than mini led in many ways. It is the superior technology just slightly more expensive. Bloomberg has a very good track record. So if I am to believe one report, I would definitely believe theirs.

Aside from the display being an OLED panel, Bloomberg also claims that it would be a 7-inch panel with the same 720p resolution now before we all go nuts on that 720p resolution. Let's analyze the improvements that this display will bring us first, the fact that this is going to be an OLED display means that we would get a gigantic boost in change of colors contrast and the black levels would finally be perfectly black, as opposed to being these grayish ones that we had on the original switch. We all know that a display on the switch is pretty bad when compared to any other smartphone on the market right now, so the switch to OLED would really be the biggest improvements overall, actually that we're getting with the switch too. Second, the fact that we're getting a larger seven inch display from the 6.2 inch panel means that all games will be far more immersive. Also, 6.2 inch might seem like a small display on paper, but Nintendo uses a different aspect ratio when compared to a traditional smartphone, and so the display is actually much bigger than a phone with a similar display. Diagonal and third, let's talk about the resolution.

The current switch has a 6.2 inch 1280x720 resolution display with a PPI of 236. This PPI is definitely very low when compared to a smartphone, which is usually around four to 500. But when we compare this to the PPI of let's say an iPad which is 264. , you can see that there isn't that much of a difference. The iPad has a retina display and the only reason why we can call that 264 PPI, a retina display is because, from the normal viewing distance that you use an iPad from, you are not able to see any pixels, and I don't know about you, but I use my switch from about the same distance that I use my iPad from, and I think most people do the same.

The switch 2 with a 7-inch display and the same resolution would drop the PPI to 209, which, while not ideal, I don't think this is going to be that bad as you would be even further away from your current switch as the display would be larger. So I don't think it's going to be that bad still. I believe that the reason why Nintendo wants to go for the 720p display is because of cost and power consumption. Let me know the comments if you would be willing to trade some battery life and or pay more for the switch in exchange for a sharper display. I think I would definitely pay more for a sharper display.

I wouldn't trade a battery life, though okay, the next big improvement, is in terms of the performance. The switch one came with NVIDIA's tiger x1 processor, and this was a very, very, very slow chip. It came out in 2015, and it was based on a 20 nanometer manufacturing process. So this thing was a power hog. Now NVIDIA did release an improved version of it in 2019, which was based on a smaller 16 nanometer manufacturing process.

Therefore, it was way more power efficient as it increased the battery life from a maximum of 6.5 hours to 9 hours on the red box switch revision from 2019. So what about the switch? 2 well Bloomberg released another report in late March 2021, stating that instead of Nintendo using an off-the-shelf processor like they did with the switch 1 NVIDIA, will now be making a custom chip just for the Nintendo Switch 2, which would bring some serious performance improvements. On top of that, this report claims that the switch 2 will include more ram and the higher clock speed all to deliver a next generation experience on the switch too. What this means is that we could actually see a gigantic leap in graphics, similar to what we've seen from the PS2 to the PS3. We don't yet know if Nintendo will be making any exclusives for the switch 2 or if new games will be developed for both the current switch and the switch 2, but there's no denying that the switch 2 will have significantly more power and Nintendo will for sure make use of that now.

The switch is all about mobile gaming being able to play whenever and wherever you are. I'm not sure if you've heard of the game dark fire heroes, but they reached out, wanted me to try their game and sponsor this video. For me to give you my thoughts on it. If you're a fan of tour defense games, dark fire heroes is similar, as you encounter a swarm of enemies that become harder and harder. The more you progress through the level, but at the same time everything else is completely different.

For example, you build your team out of the dozens of heroes in the game, which will automatically progress and fight the enemies, and you can use spells and attacks to help them out. After a fight has ended, you earn experience and loot, which you can use to further upgrade your heroes and progress into the game as a full RPG game. There are tons of loot to collect with each level being part of a very extensive campaign. The game also features a real-time PVP arena, with some great graphics, easy controls and overall, it is a lot of fun, and it is also free to play, use the link in the description to get exclusive loot as a new player. Right now, I have some pretty big updates for you in terms of the docked mode.

Bloomberg's report that talked about the new NVIDIA chips in the switch 2 also mentioned that these new chips would feature NVIDIA's, deep learning, super sampling, aka the less in case you don't know what the OSS is. It is NVIDIA's way of upscaling a game with minimal loss to its quality. We already have the less on PC and what it does is that it allows you to play a game at 1080p resolution and then have it upscaled to 4k, for example, while leaving you with a similar frame rate, as if you were to run the game at 1080p, now, of course, that this won't be as sharp as native resolution, but it still is surprisingly close, and you get a massive boost in performance that way the PlayStation and the Xbox have both had dynamic resolution upscaling since the PS4 pro and the Xbox One X. The less is basically just that, but a bit better okay, but how would the less help the switch too when it is already running on a low resolution? 720P display? Well, it is all about docked mode. Bloomberg claims that the switch 2 will support 4k resolution when docked finally running the switch 1 and 1080p on my 4k TV looks pretty bad.

So I cannot wait to have a 4k version of the switch, even though it won't technically be native 4k, but rather upskilled from likely 1080p as just as the switch one. The switch 2 will most certainly boost its clocks when connected to the dock and therefore run at 1080p, which the less in turn will upscale to 4k. Although I was personally hoping for something a bit different, something like an actual GPU inside the dock, so that when you connect the switch to the dock, it would switch to the more powerful GPU inside the dock and deliver a way higher resolution natively, alongside, of course improved frame rates, but something like that would increase the cost substantially. So I do get why Nintendo has chosen the DSS path instead. Also, Bloomberg stated back in September 2020 that a few developers were told by Nintendo directly to optimize their games for 4k support again hinting at the 4k capabilities of the next switch.

Not only that, but this implies that we would be able to play switch 1 games on the switch 2, which is pretty great as all next-gen consoles, do, support some sort of backwards compatibility and what it means that you should be able to easily transfer your entire switch 1 library onto the switch 2 and play everything at higher graphical settings. Also, one last thing regarding the dock: according to leaker oatmeal dome, the latest switch update so 12.0.0, which came out on the 6th of April. It actually adds a reference to 4k output over DisplayPort, again giving us a hint at that 4k support for the switch too. So what about the design now? Well, unfortunately, we haven't really had any specific leaks on this yet, but based on the leaks that we have seen, we have designed our very own concept, and this is how we imagined it. First, we increased the display size from 6.2 inches to that leaked 7 inches, and in doing so, we managed to considerably reduce the bezels whilst keeping the same form factor now, because the bezels are much smaller. Now they are part of the body and therefore, just like, with the switch light, we managed to give the switch 2 an entire coating of color.

That now covers the frame of the display too, rather than it remaining black we've also redesigned joysticks to make them larger and easier to use, and we've also increased the height of the share and home buttons to make them easier to feel. But probably the biggest change that we've made is in terms of the stand. You all know that the kickstand on the current switch is completely trash. It barely holds the switch up. It can break super easily yeah, it's uh, it's awful.

So what we did is that we made it significantly larger so that it covers the entire back portion of the device. This makes it sturdier and less prone to its detaching, and there you go. This is our concept of the switch too definitely subscribe if you like what you're, seeing as we'll have plenty more concepts in the near future and finally, we have the price the Nintendo Switch currently sells for three hundred dollars, while the switch light sells for 200. Bloomberg reported that they believe the switch 2 to be at least 100 more expensive than the switch one potentially costing as much as a hundred dollars. But four hundred dollars is a lot for a switch as that's exactly how much the digital version of the PS5 costs.

They could, however, price it at 350 dollars, which Bloomberg believes could also be the case. Japan based games consultant sir khan Toto, said in an interview to games industry. biz that he also expects the switch 2 to cost 400 and interesting enough leaker. A rumor says that there is a chance that Nintendo will price the switch too at 299 or a tiny bit over, but not include that 4k dock instead you'll likely have to buy that separately, which I do think is a perfect thing for Nintendo to do as people who just want to buy the new switch, but don't really care about connecting it to the TV can indeed pay less and get it. Let me know in the comments: what do you guys think of the switch too, and will you actually upgrade from the switch one give it this vlog have enjoyed it to? Let us know and definitely subscribe if you want to see more, at least numerous episodes and more interesting tech videos like this one hopefully was I'm Daniel.

This has been soft tech, and I'll, see you guys in the next one tech send me out, cheers you.
