How will be Switch 2 performance wise?

The Steam Deck has a 5300 MAH battery versus the projection of a 5600 MAH battery given that speculated 30% increase over the original Switch. So doesn't sound too far fetched. 

Please use Wh (watt hours) instead of Ah (ampere hours) for battery capacity comparisons.

Ampere hours are depending on the voltage of the devices.

Switch and Steam deck have different voltages, Switch 2 will probably also have different voltages.

Watt hours are a unit of energy that represents the capacity of power (in watts) to be expended over a period of one hour.

In contrast, amp hours measure the current (in amps) over a period of time.

Oh I know. Wasn't meaning to compare total energy capacity between the two, but charge capacity is more directly correlated with the surface area of the battery than energy and we don't know the voltages of the Switch 2 to compare on a energy basis anyway. We don't even know the size and target TGP of the Switch 2 (only rumors on those.) So charge capacity (correlating with the size of mobile devices increasing) is all we can compare on right now. 

Edit: NatetheHate has suggested the Switch 2 will have an 8inch screen size, which is why I was comparing to the Steam Deck. It's probably going to be bigger than the Switch OLED (although probably not as big as the Steam Deck.)
