Nintendo Switch 2 could have better battery life — with a catch

While Nintendo has, as usual, kept quiet about plans for a Nintendo Switch 2 so far, the rumor mill is churning. The latest hearsay is that Nintendo has plans to introduce performance modes to the Switch 2 that will ensure a greater battery life when the console is used in handheld mode.

According to the tech YouTube channel Moore’s Law Is Dead in their latest podcast, Nintendo’s next handheld will be overclocked — that is, the processor will run faster — when it’s docked and battery life isn’t a concern.
