You can play the long on the way with the Switch 2? Details about the battery life were now public!
You can of course also use the new Switch 2 in mobile mode and play with it on the go, but how long will that be possible? Of course, this depends largely on the battery life of the console in handheld mode-and concrete details became known for this after yesterday's direct conference.
It can be stated in advance: While the Switch 2 has taken big steps forward when it comes to performance and performance, it does not look like the battery life in comparison. In this regard, stagnation is probably the most correct term.
Nintendo specifies the duration of the Switch 2 in mobile mode with 2 to 6.5 hours, depending on which games you play. This means that the new hardware is even a little weaker in this regard than the original switch. The term of the predecessor in the original version had given Nintendo with 2.5 to 6.5 hours. The capacity of the battery generally grows from 4310 mAh to now 5220 mAh, but the higher performance also draws more electricity. The Switch Lite brings it to 3 to 7 hours, the OLED version of the Switch at 4.5 to 9 hours of term; The latter is therefore the absolute winner.
Compared to other mobile devices, the Switch 2 is roughly at a level with the Steam Deck, which has a 5200 mAh storage capacity and has an estimated runtime of 2 to 8 hours (LCD model). Modern smartphones have a smaller battery, for example the iPhone 16 with 3561 mAh.
