#Switch 2 leaks

New FCC filings have provided fresh insights into Nintendo’s highly anticipated Switch 2, confirming key hardware upgrades that will bring faster connectivity, improved charging options, and continued NFC support. While Nintendo has already confirmed the console is arriving sometime in 2024, these newly surfaced documents shed light on some of the Switch 2’s upgraded internals. The filings confirm that the Switch 2 will feature Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), a step up from the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) found in the original Nintendo Switch. This will allow users to charge the Switch 2 from either port, which could improve docking and handheld usability. The FCC listings indicate that the Switch 2 retains a 15V maximum charge rate, but an accompanying AC adapter rated for 20V suggests possible improvements in charging performance. This all but confirms that Nintendo’s popular interactive collectibles will remain compatible with the new console, allowing players to unlock exclusive in-game content just like on the original Switch. The FCC filings also confirm that the Switch 2 is designated as BEE-001, with the right Joy-Con labeled BEE-014 and the left Joy-Con as BEE-012. This follows Nintendo’s traditional product naming conventions, similar to how the original Switch carried the "HAC" designation.
