Nintendo Switch 2 Design Leaked Again, Thanks To Case Manufacturers

Expert Verified By

Switch 2 Reveal Might Just Be Imminent!

Story Highlight
  • Nintendo Switch 2’s leaked design indicates a larger screen (approximately 8 inches) with reduced bezels.
  • The device’s dimensions, based on a supposed 3D scan, are estimated at roughly 270mm wide (with Joy-Cons), 116mm tall, and 14mm thick.
  • There is also an additional “C” button is present on the right Joy-Con.

Recent leaks, including Dbrand’s surprise release of a full 3D render, have given us a closer look at the Nintendo Switch 2’s final design. The render, which shows a redesigned version of the Dbrand Killswitch carrying case for the Switch 2, appears to confirm several key details.

It appears to have a larger screen, thinner bezels and updated Joy-Cons.

Why it matters: The leak shows that Nintendo is sticking with its familiar hybrid console approach, making improvements instead of completely changing it.

Dbrand claims the Switch 2 is about 270mm wide with the Joy-Cons attached (200mm without), 116mm tall, and 14mm thick. It’s a bit bigger than the original Nintendo Switch and the Switch OLED.

These measurements are said to come from a 3D scan of the actual hardware, making the leak more trustworthy.

One of the biggest upgrades in the Nintendo Switch 2 is its 8-inch screen, which is bigger than the 7.2-inch screen on the Switch OLED and the 6.2-inch screen on the original Switch.

However, reports say it will use a 1080p IPS LCD instead of an OLED display. While this may let down some fans, the new IPS LCD is expected to offer better quality than the original Switch’s screen.

Nintendo Switch 2 Dbrand Leaked Design
Nintendo hasn’t officially announced the Switch 2 yet, but rumors say it could be revealed in January 2025, with a possible launch in March.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is said to feature magnetically detachable Joy-Con controllers. Previous design leaks suggest that the handheld will also feature Hall Effect Joy-Cons.

The right Joy-Con also has an additional “C” button, which is believed to be used for capturing content or customization. Switch 2 is also rumored to have USB-C ports on both the top and bottom, which could make charging and connecting easier.

Other than that, Nintendo recently confirmed Switch 2 will have backward compatibility. Your entire library will switch over to Nintendo’s upcoming handheld including Nintendo Online features.
