design

Widely, Switch 2 is larger than its predecessor, as everything looks slightly amplified: the biggest footprint, a larger screen, greater joy.

Original switch: The width of the original key ranges with joy in the side of the side bars, with a little 9.4 inches, 4 inches long, slightly more than half an inch and weighs about 10.5 ounces (297 grams). Joy slides in place from the highest sides of the device, while a thin plastic wedge comes out of the back of the console to serve as Kikstand.

The switch also came with a berth, which can be governed by the recharge and re -charging console to a large TV or screen via the HDMI port.

OLED switching: Switch Oled is always broader to accommodate the larger screen, but the same height in order to be compatible with joy.

Switch 2: The new Switch 2 is larger in everything, but it contains the same general form and planning of origin. The new Joy-Cons will actually be held in place on the magnetic console, and they call the control unit via the nails. The new console is also characterized by the formation of the U -shaped Kickstand, which extends almost its fully rear width, which can be moved to support the switch 2 in a variety of corners. Nintendo says the console has more powerful speakers, which we look forward to the test.

DOCK of Switch 2 is very similar to the job, although it contains rounded edges and an internal fan to cool the console during long game sessions. More importantly, it can take out games in 4K to TV, but only for the selected games.

Joy

The joyful was a marvel when they reached the first key, and although they were similar in its successor, the Switch 2 control units were promoted.

Original switch: Switch Joy-Cons is simple, but strong, sliding and stopping the control units via plastic bars, delivery and recharge via pins on the side. Chapter, and they become small compassion for their own, with small shoulder buttons to boot. The joy has not changed to the OLED switch.

Switch 2: Farah Farah is the new console is larger to fit the switch 2, and the side of the powerful control unit is locked-there are small buttons facing internally on the ZR and ZL to separate the console units. The biggest joyful joy contains the shoulders of L and R outside couples, as well as the SL and SR buttons, which can be accessed when separated from the console.

And yes, you can use Switch 2 Joy-colors as mice by placing their flat edges on the surface. During Nintendo Direct, we saw one used to control active movement games such as Dragxdrive basketball and strategic games like the seventh civilization. They have a removable cover that can slip on the inner edge to make the console running back and forth on the surfaces in a smoother mouse mode.

Display

Original switch: The original Switch contains a 6.2 -inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels, which was reasonably impressive in 2017, but it was superior by the later portable with large screens. Switch Lite, which is the most loader version and affordable, has a 5.5 -inch LCD screen.

OLED switching: The Switch OLED screen, along with a deeper raid and a generally better image than the basic game, is larger at 7 inches. To match the same general frame as the original key, the edges on the OLED key are significantly reduced.

Switch 2: It is not surprising, that the largest volume of 2 key means a larger screen. The new control unit contains a 1080 -inch LCD screen that can get a update rate of up to 120 Hz in the mobile mode, or up to 4K at the balance and output to a TV.

Why not an OLED screen? Perhaps to save costs … or perhaps to give Nintendo Room to release the Switch 2 OLED version below the line.
