The Nintendo Switch has been one of the most popular portable gaming consoles in the market, offering console-level games on the go. However, since its initial release back in 2017, the console did not see any upgrades until reports for a new Nintendo Switch Pro started to emerge last year. Now, we have some more details about the upcoming Pro model, which is to launch in the market soon.
The upgraded Switch Pro will reportedly feature a larger screen, an OLED panel, and offer 4K image output when connected to a TV.
Apart from this, there will be a new built-in kickstand at the back of the device that will allow users to prop it up on a flat surface. As per the report, the stand will carry a similar design as the side-to-side kickstands found in tablets such as the Microsoft Surface Pro. Moreover, the microSD slot has been reportedly moved to a new location and now sits at one of the sides of the back panel, underneath the new kickstand.
Coming to the new dock for the Switch, the device will rock a similar size as the current one. However, it will be a little wider at the rear and include 2 x USB 3.0 ports that are faster than the USB 2.0 ports on the current device. Plus, as aforementioned, there will also be a new ethernet port on the dock that will allow users to connect their device to a LAN network. Credit: Vandal
As per insider sources, the Nintendo Switch Pro is already in its final production process. So, the company might announce the device in the coming weeks. However, citing the current global chip shortage, the report states that the console might not arrive in the global markets until November of this year.
