You missing point, Switch already has huge screen for handheld and already has higher price point, so there is no need for even bigger screen or higher price, but there is definitely need for smaller and cheaper version. OG 3DS had small screen, so it made sense to release device with bigger screen not smaller, but situation with Switch is opposite. Also you need to realise that Nintendo when 3DS dies will not have lower price point ($150-200), so they will definitely need cheaper version of Switch, not more expensive one than current.

There is no side by side comparision, like I wrote, not everyone are willing to pay $250-300 for Switch, not everyone needs TV mode, some people want smaller and more practical Switch with lower price point.

Switch Mini/Pocket can have Joycon support also.

There are plenty of reasons for a bigger screen. The current Switch is pretty hard to play 2 player games on largely due to its small screen size.

A version with a bigger screen is going to happen, I have no doubt about it. And I would bet it will pretty quickly become the best selling version too. 

You can take a ruler and measure it right now on the current Switch even, you can see they could increase the screen size to 7.4 inches roughly without even increasing the size of the system. 

Its not that hard, and actual current Switch is already big for handheld.

I have doubts about bigger version of Switch, I don't say it won't happen at all, but I don't see point for it. I dont it will sell well either, nobody really needs handheld that's bigger than 6.2", even here people saying that they would buyed smaller Switch not bigger.

You'll see two new Switch models next year IMO, both using the 14nm Tegra X2, one will have double the battery life of the current Switch and it will eventually phase out the current base model.

These models IMO are already finished inside Nintendo's R&D or almost already finished and they're just tinkering with them now. 

Hardly we will have two new Switch models next year, too early.
