Nintendo Switch 2 could have better battery life — with a catch
Rumors and news reports suggest that Nintendo is designing a Nintendo Switch 2 whose processor will run in two modes to preserve battery life.

The undocked underclock mode will reportedly power the device down to 800 Mhz, which would reduce performance but also limit battery drain and likely lead to less overheating. Additional rumors have come from peripherals company Mobapad, who suggested that the Switch 2 would have robust backward compatibility with game cartridges for the first iteration.
