Thanks to this new chip, the updated Switch model will have a battery life of 4.5-9 hours on a single charge. In hardware-intensive games such as Breath of the Wild, the new Switch is said to run the game for over 5 hours in portable mode (compared to the 3 hours of the original.

The new Switch model is priced at PHP 16,995, and comes with the console itself, a Switch dock, and left+right Joy‑Con controllers. As it looks exactly the same as the old Switch version, this new model has a new box, and it has a model number of HAC-001(-01).
This refreshed Switch with better battery life isn’t the only new console by Nintendo this year. Nintendo also revealed the Switch Lite — a portable-only version of the Switch that releases this September.
