Nintendo a few days ago unveiled its second Switch console, the Switch Lite that’s all about handheld gameplay, featuring no support whatsoever for TVs. Soon after that, the company quietly confirmed that a hardware refresh of the regular Switch will be released in the coming weeks. The first and only new feature of the 2019 refresh is improved battery life. Other internal components may have also been upgraded to facilitate the battery life gains, but we have no idea what there are. The hardware refresh is obviously minor, which means the console still looks the same. So if you haven’t bought a Switch yet and you plan to do so in the coming months, you’ll have to pay special attention to make sure you end up purchasing the new one and not the old one.
