The Nintendo Switch OLED may have a smaller 4,310mAh battery, but its display is far more efficient. That means it can more than double the Nintendo Switch 2's minimum runtime on more demanding games, reaching all the way up to 9 hours max compared to the Switch 2's 6.5.

It’s a big day for Nintendo fans. The gaming giant’s new console, the $450 Switch 2, arrives on store shelves globally after being announced in April — marking Nintendo’s first major console launch since the original Switch arrived roughly eight years ago.
