So what have we learnt in this thread?

We aren't confusing retail hardware spec with dev kits are we as dev kits normally perform a little better to give some headroom while developing.

Where is spemanig and onionberry to apologize for trying to tell me the Foxconn leak was less reliable than Laura Kate Dale?
Still waiting for that dock station fan and/or an apology.

Good lord, 4310 mAh. I expected something bigger than that on a 6.2" device.

Now I know where Nintendo skimped out, the battery. The worst place to skip out on.

That really isn't much smller then a regular laptop battery most are around the 4400-5200mAh. Oly the more expensive laptops that are larger have say 6000-8000mAh and generlaly they are a bulky design.

'orange' and blue controllers sound pretty retail to me. We've heard reports that stronger dev-kits with newer architecture went out in october. There's a high chance that the Eurogamer report was based off the older dev kits. Maybe the new dev-kits have an even better specification. Who knows.

I expected (read: hoped for) a battery 10% larger than that. The difference between 2.5 hours and 2.75 hours isn't large, but the difference between 6.5 hours and 7.2 hours is.

Besides, I just want large batteries in all my devices.

I bolded what I wanted. That is not what I want (though I do want it, I'll see if I can find an equivalent in the Philippines for a good price).

The difference is that they are typically at a higher voltage. For instance, I pulled a battery out of my mom's three year-old laptop.

6.2" Switch with (rumored) : 4.31 Amp-hours at 3.7 V*  = 15.95 Watt-hours

Mom's 11" laptop with 3 hour battery life : 3.35 Amp-hours at 10.8 V = 36 Watt-hours (rated)

You know, if power = voltage*current, then it follows that energy = voltage*charge. I know that I am technically wrong, because I don't want to have to walk you through the calculations necessary. Because, well, integrals.

* - what you should expect from batteries that can be charged from USB power

Actually, read all that Laura stuff again. It looks like she made everything up that wasn't leaked before by others, like Emily Rogers.

Really hope its the A73, that core is significantly more powerful and efficient then the A57

At least we can conclude that we don't have to take their word as gospel in future I remember several times I questioned their claims someone would swear by them. 

Sometimes companies themselves leak false information to not only discredit someone but to also identify who is leaking information.

Hope the 4G LTE thing ends up being true. Who knows. Maybe that's something the online fee enables. That would immediately justify the purchase for me.

If they do, wouldn't it be more expensive? I want the online fee as cheap as possible though.

 

That would be interesting if that's true but I heard that there was some speculation that when he said "4G" he meant "4GB" and it was a type-o but I don't know. That was really the only thing he got wrong if it wasn't. Though don't be surprised if the online fee is on the pricey side. I'd be substantially surprised if it is.

PS. Aren't the shoulder buttons actually ZL and ZR? https://youtu.be/pArXLkXTXu8

PSS. You guys should look a little deeper into one other thing that he leaked ;)
