Switch 2 is larger, thinner than Steam Deck

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is larger than the original Switch, featuring a 7.9-inch screen, but maintains a thin profile, unlike the bulkier Steam Deck. The new console is set to launch in two days. The Switch 2's screen size is a significant upgrade from the original Switch's 6.2-inch display, though not as dramatic a change for those with the OLED model. The device weighs more than previous models at 535 grams. Despite the larger size, the Switch 2 retains a thin design, prioritizing portability. The new Joy-Con 2 controllers are also larger, aiming for improved comfort during gameplay.
