I have absolutly no doubt that we will see many variations of the Switch. Nintendo would be insane not to.

I think the biggest thing they need is a Switch Phone once they have their OS built up, and a great library of software. This would be a perfect 2019 device on 7nm tech. I honestly think all three platform holders will release gaming phones in or around 2019. The tech will be ready, and the mobile industry is long overdue for an overhaul.

A cheap Switch Lite with the current Switch performance on 7nm would be a great $149.99 entry model. Then to round things off, a new Switch Pro that takes full advantage of the jump to 7nm at $299.99.

As I have been saying for a while. I think we are closing in on a point where we will see new hardware every year from at least one of the big three, with years where we see multiple product refreshs/upgrades from one or all three. The days of static hardware are over. Now it is about keeping optimized gaming hardware alive. Hopefully, people that love games are smart enough not to ditch consoles and handhelds for PC, Smartphones, and Tablets. If the perception of consoles and handhelds can change, then we could see core gaming see another massive boom, but if people ditch gaming hardware for the aboved mentioned, we could have dark times ahead in the world of quality games.

Phone market is crowded and they having yearly upgrades, I dont think Nintendo has intention to make phone.

We are long way from 7nm for Switch, Nintendo Switch is 28nm, and Nvidia Tegra at 14nm will available just from this year, and Nintendo will almost certain continue working with Nvidia, so 14nm is very possible, but 7nm hardly, maybe only for Switch 2.

We will never see new hardware from consoles every year, consoles are not phones and they dont need yearly upgrades like phones. But we could see upgrades in around every 3 years.

Point of Switch Mini/Pocket wouldn't be just to be smaller, but to be cheaper and to have lower point for Switch, so no dock in package and built in controls, especially when 3DS dies, so smaller and cheaper Switch just for handheld play that will actualy be real replacment for 3DS totally make sense.

People dont need to look at Switch like on device, Switch will be platform something similar like 3DS (2DS is part of 3DS family but its not 3D and not even dual screen), so that means different versions of hardware that all play same games.

The 2DS has dual screen

No, it's just one screen divided in two, it's not separated like on other DS devices.
