The existence of a next-generation Nintendo Switch has been the talk of the town. However, before the official announcement, it seems a factory worker might have won the race to share info on the Switch 2 first. The rumored leak includes the prototype design images of Nintendo Switch 2 as it also contains more details on the specs.

In a new post, Reddit user MisterSheeple shared the full details of the rumored Switch prototype, including the pictures and specs. According to the user, this information comes from a Chinese website. Earlier, rumors indicated that the next Switch model was already under development in some factories in China.

Switch 2 Prototype Details and Leaks

As of now, none of the information is official, and the prototype may not reflect how the final product will look. A translation from the original post on the Chinese website reveals the shipping details of the “Switch second generation model STP.” According to these shipping details, we have the following specifications:

  • HGU1100: Game console itself.
  • HGU1110: Left Joy-Con controller.
  • HGU1120: Right Joy-Con controller.
  • HGU1130: Dock.
  • SoCl (CPU + GPU) model: GMLX30-R-A1.
  • Memory model: MT62F768M64D4EK-026 (6GX2 dual channel, LPDDR5X, 7500 MT/s).
  • Flash memory model: THGJFGT1E45BAILHW0 (256GB, UFS 3.1, manufactured by Kaixia, 2100 MB/s).
  • Audio chip model: Ruiwu ALC5658-CG.
  • NFC reader model: NXP IPN7160B1HN.

  • Protective case model: HGU1100 (size: 206 x 115 x 14mm, made of plastic).
  • Speakers: MUSE BOX-L and MUSE BOX-R (two-channel stereo).

From the specifications, we can see that the rumored design of the next Switch device is quite similar to the original. Some users in the replies noted that the Switch 2 looks like a larger version of the current model. Furthermore, a unique magnetic system for attaching the Joy-Cons, unlike the original Nintendo Switch, is also visible in the prototype images.

Insights from Previous Leaks and Rumors

Earlier in May, leaks from famiboards forum suggested that the Switch 2 might feature 12GB of RAM, utilizing two 6GB LPDDR5X modules with a transfer speed of 7,500 MT/s, alongside 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. These details align with the recent leaks, reinforcing the credibility of the information.

Additionally, Spanish publication Vandal reported that the Switch 2 will be larger than its predecessor but not as oversized as the Steam Deck. This points to a potential design evolution that prioritizes improved performance without sacrificing portability.

As Nintendo has not yet responded to these leaks, we cannot confirm their accuracy. However, sources suggest that the images circulating on Reddit were shared by Nintendo and could hint at the company's upcoming plans. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa previously stated that the successor to the Nintendo Switch will be announced within the current fiscal year, but these leaks might alter their announcement strategy.
