Alleged images of the Nintendo Switch successor console have appeared online, showing a design that’s not too dissimilar from the previous console.

The images, which appeared on Reddit but were originally sourced from a Chinese social media site, show a device with a larger 8-inch screen, magnetic Joy-Cons, and USB-C ports on both the top and bottom.

While the images are unverified, one source, who has not seen the final ‘ Switch 2’ console but has been briefed on Nintendo’s plans, told VGC that the Reddit images match what the company has told partners to expect from its design.

VGC has asked Nintendo for comment on this story.

According to today’s images, Switch 2 will include 12GB of RAM (compared to 4GB of the original Switch), support for HDMI 2.1, and 256GB of internal storage (compared to 32GB), which matches an alleged shipping leak from earlier in the year.

While the design shown in the images shows similar controllers to the current Switch, there are some notable changes, such as revised SL/SR buttons and front-facing player LEDs. Alleged specs:

• Handheld: Right above PS4* before DLSS

• Docked: Between PS4 Pro* & Xbox Series S* before DLSS with more modern hardware than the former

• RAM: Slower than PS5 & XSX|S in the speed department, but more capacity than XSS. Should have 10.5-11 GB of RAM available to games going by the Switch 1's RAM allotment for its OS.

• Storage: UFS 3.1's max speeds should be a hair under XSX|S (2.1 GB/s vs. 2.4 GB/s), still plenty fast even if not maxed out.Lines up with what Digital Foundry &
NateDrake heard about decompression techniques & fast load times of the BotW tech demo (respectively for each source).

= Not only is the Switch 2 ARM-based rather than x86 like the systems compared, it's also Nvidia vs. AMD. There are plenty of factors at play to where it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. Plus the native Tensor cores of the Switch 2 will allow for DLSS, letting the system punch above its weight
