The image shows an input of 20 volt 3A and an output of 15v 2.8A. It's a scrap of information, but it hints at the docks' power and what that means.
For one, we're pretty sure you won't be able to use current Nintendo Switch charging cables with the next generation because it won't be powerful enough.
Second, it's long been rumored that the Switch 2 dock would be more powerful than the current generation. This reportedly means that when the Switch 2 is in TV mode, it'll have better graphics. The extra power in the upgraded docks could help upscale the graphics from handheld mode.
A couple of days ago, it was rumored that Switch 2 would feature an Nvidia system on chip, enabling the console to use DLSS, Nvidia's version of upscaling tech. This should make the console more appealing to graphics nerds and make it look much better on modern TVs and monitors.
If accurate, the new Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes will be slightly larger than those of the original Switch, measuring 5.1 inches (13 cm) by 7.7 inches (19.5 cm). While still smaller than the cases for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 games, this shift has already sparked discussions across the internet.
