Switch 2 sports ~7.9-inch screen, 33% bigger tablet surface—Ars video analysis

Quick Summary:

Joy-Cons are about 18% wider, with bigger buttons and joysticks too.

We also learned that the Switch tablet itself has a roughly 33 percent larger footprint than that of the original Switch (in terms of total area), while the joysticks on the Switch 2 Joy-Cons have a roughly 26 percent larger diameter than those on the Switch.
