Rumor: Switch 2 factory prototype photos surface

Switch 2 prototype

The Switch 2 rumor mill continues to heat up, and today factory prototype images have allegedly leaked.

The photos are in a rough state and obviously don’t show things in the final form that would reach consumers. However, there are interesting things to note here, including the actual build and a look at the new version of the Joy-Con. On top of that, the device will apparently include USB-C ports at the top and bottom of the device.

Below are the rumored photos (a couple include comparison photos to the current Switch):

Aside from the leaked Switch 2 photos, we’ll also mention that rumored specs are making the rounds. You should always take every rumor that appears with a grain of salt, and that applies here as well. The source sharing these specs seems to be different than the one that posted the production photos (but matches up with a different, previous leak), so keep that in mind.
