I guess battery technology has to have improved as well in 7 years?

Looking at the Galaxy S series phones (not sure if best product for comparison...), but the S23 sports a 3900 mAh battery, compared to it's 7 year older sibling's, (S7) 3000 mAh.

So a 30% increase. If that improvement applies to Switch's battery type then the extra capacity could potentially be used to drive a higher wattage for similar battery life to S1 - though my intuition tells me Nintendo would more readily opt for longer battery life...

The Switch OLED (420 grams with Joy-Cons) has a 16 Wh battery.

The similar sized Ayaneo Air Pro (440 grams) has a 38 Wh battery.
