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.

And screen.

A 6.2" 720P screen is low-end and cheap.

"Says the GPU is 921mhz instead of Eurogamer's 768ghz"

Is that better or worse?

Slightly better, but the biggest factor is still GPU architechture. Maxwell or Pascal. And if it's 16nm or not.

Flew over your head.
ghz > mhz.

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.

Nope. Because Nintendo doesn't own the telecommunications networks.

You can't really fit much more onto that thing at the size it's at currently lol, the fuck are you expecting? Some Harry Potter wizardy shit? Not to mention that they didn't even tell us at what voltage it's running at, unless I missed something, so there is no accurate Wh number either, which is the actual important number.

You do realise batteries aren't all the same density? Even Lithium battery's all have varying amounts of capacity for the same size... And there are heaps of Lithium chemistry's. Like Phosphate, Manganese, Titanate and more.

You can bet your ass Nintendo could have included a higher capacity battery in the Switch.
The Switch isn't a thin device, you can take advantage of Z-Depth just as much as Height and Width of a device.

So instead of swearing and belittling the guy, think a little harder.

Yeah the Galaxy Note 7 was a big phone and just about cramed a 3500mAh battery in it, so unless you want the Switch to explode I dont know what you were expecting. I dont think they could of done any better than 4310mAh battery.

The Note 7 was also a thin device. Allot thinner than the switch. - Also allot smaller overall, due to half an inch smaller screen, thinner bezels.
There can be a larger battery.

Eurogamer's leak is not really sourced. There is nothing backing it up but their reputation, and they even state that they sat on the info for months, while we heard just before that that the final devkits were more powerful than july dev kits.

And I quote: "In April this year, we first learned that Nvidia tech was 'inside' the Nintendo NX, as it was known then. Further sources came forward across the months to corroborate the story"
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-nintendo-switch-spec-analysis

Eurogamers "leak" is actually sourced. They just didn't specifiy *all* of their sources outside of venturebeat.
This could be for a variety of reasons, one could be to protect their sources.

Don't dismiss Eurogamer so easily, they are one of the best sources of information for Technology on the internet next to the likes of Anandtech.

I am hoping this *new* leak of a 900mhz+ GPU is true though. It makes me moist in my tender loins.
