The screen is an LCD that also supports HDR, and when docked, the system can handle up to 4K resolution with HDR.The Joy-Con 2 controllers feature a magnetic connection system and can be detached by pressing a release button on the back. The SL and SR buttons on the sides are larger, enhancing gameplay when the console is held horizontally. Additionally, both the left and right analog sticks have been increased in size. A notable reveal during this segment was the introduction of mouse control support within the Joy-Con controllers.
The handheld version of the Nintendo Switch 2 includes a built-in microphone with advanced noise-canceling technology and supports 3D audio for compatible games. It also comes with a more robust and adjustable stand compared to the original Switch, allowing for various height settings. A top USB port provides options for external camera connectivity and charging the system in tabletop mode.
