Nintendo Switch Pro: Details of the Rumored New Nintendo Laptop

Rumors about a new Nintendo Switch come to life again. According to a user expert in mining hidden data in the most recent firmware versions, he has found references to a Nintendo Switch Pro that would come with improvements such as a higher resolution OLED screen and more battery.

Nintendo Switch Pro, will it finally arrive in 2021?

The possibility of Nintendo launching a Pro version of its popular portable console, the Nintendo Switch, has long been under discussion. This model would logically improve at the hardware level and offer a better experience to those who bet on it. Well, now all that comes back to life and it is logical, because at the end of 2020 we have already made the leap to a new generation of consoles with the launches of Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X / S.

So what do we know about this supposed new Nintendo Switch Pro? Well, taking into account that everything is based on theoretical leaks and discoveries, the latest is what comes from the hand of a data miner who says they have found references in the Nintendo Switch signature that indicate some of the improvements that will be included in this new portable console or, rather, in this new version of the portable Nintendo.

To begin with, the first notable change will be the increase in resolution of your screen. At present, both the original model where the Joy-Con can be undocked and in the Switch Lite, the resolution of its LCD screen is 1280 x 720 pixels, being able to reach 1080p in the normal version when using the Dock that allows it to be connected to the TV.

Now it seems that they will definitely bet on an OLED-type panel and 4K UHD resolution . A substantial improvement that will allow clearer graphics when used as a laptop and also logically in TV mode.

What does generate doubt is the processor, which seems to be based on the current Tegra X1 using both the Switch Lite and the 2nd generation of the original Switch that was launched in 2019. Because we do not know if they will only add some type to improve in the face of that increase in resolution, with a theoretical RealTek 4K UHD Multimedia chip. So we will have to wait to find out.

Another improvement will be the one that affects the battery, the Switch Pro will also incorporate a new battery that is much more efficient and with a greater number of hours of use. Something that is also appreciated of course for that portable console factor that it offers.

Along the way, characteristics such as the use of a Mini LED screen seem to have remained, possibly due to a cost issue rather than because it is a technology that may not yet be 100% polished. Although there are manufacturers that are expected to launch their first devices with this type of panel in 2021.

When will the Nintendo Switch Pro?

This is the question we all ask ourselves, by when will a Nintendo Switch Pro? The truth is that nobody knows, although some analysts point to the end of this newly released 2021 . So they could continue throughout the year with good sales of the latest laptop and reinforce them at the end of the year with the new model, which would also serve to compete with the current PS5 and Xbox Series X / S that will gain strength and ground these next few months.

If you are interested in taking the leap, you will have to be patient. Although as users of Nintendo Switch and being aware of its shortcomings compared to other proposals, it is true that it is a console with a catalog of games so particular that power is not one of those aspects that are most taken into account when betting or not for a laptop like this.
