Fans have been anticipating the release of Nintendo's next-gen console, and now new alleged leaks have revealed some of the specs for the upcoming handheld. According to a recent report by VGC, the Switch 2 will be shipping with 512GB of internal storage.
The original Switch comes with just 32GB of internal memory, which fills up real fast. The internal storage on the new unit will be comparable to what is available in handheld gaming PCs like the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally. However, the handheld console will still accept physical games via a cartridge slot according to sources.
During a recent podcast by YouTuber Nate the Hate, he speculated that the upcoming Switch 2 will have a 3D NAND flash card format. It should be significantly faster than what gamers currently have on the current-gen Switch.
Nate the Hate also shared that the upcoming Switch will feature an 8-inch LCD screen. It will also be comparable with rival handheld consoles. However, there is no word yet on the resolution or refresh rate of the display. For comparison, the Asus ROG Ally has a 1080p 120Hz screen while the Steam Deck has a 1280 × 800 60Hz touchscreen.
